A variety of emergency management and human resources items, as well as the emergency radio communications project are among the items on the Saline County Commission agenda for Tuesday.
The regular commission meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday in room 107 of the City-County Building, 300 West Ash Street. A time for public comment is scheduled near the beginning of the meeting.
Michelle Barkley, emergency management director is scheduled to ask the commissioners to approve agreements for emergency sheltering with Webster Conference Center and First Covenant Church.
"Emergency shelter is a place for people to live temporarily when they
cannot live in their previous residence due to a disaster. Emergency sheltering can be utilized by the county and region if needed when a disaster displaces families or restricts their access to their basic needs like running water and electricity. Both facilities are unique in their differences allowing emergency management to have more options in providing the best emergency shelter for those in need," according to emergency management information in the commission meeting packet.
Additionally, Barkley is scheduled to ask the commissioners to declare a state of local public health emergency for the county due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

●A request to approve a KWORCC trustee at large nomination -- Marilyn Leamer, human resources director
