Speaker 1 (00:03):
Good evening. This is maybe bellings with KSOM and ks
ninety five News. During a report to the Board of
Supervisors this morning, Montgomery County Auditor Jill Ozuna indicated that
the county's computer server experienced one hundred percent CPU usage
when it went offline on April eighth and ninth. CPU

(00:24):
usage is often a sign of processors level of stress.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
They are not certain yet what exactly caused this to happen.
They're still researching that, but possibly due to ICN and
fiber line migration that took place between four three and
six pm on April eighth. There was there also may
have been an Internet outage that caused part of the
backup replications.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Wuzuna noted that several servers experienced corruption after the server
reboot because of the abrupt shutdown. She says that after
the servers were back online and stabilized, power was accidentally
disconnected from one due to the relocation of a battery
backup unit. The power cable was nudged, which caused another
abrupt shutdown, which crashed the primary courthouse server.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Due to the size of the server, amongst the programming issues.
The restore of the server took ten to twenty five hours. Unfortunately,
the first restore after eleven hours had failed. The second
restore was successful after twenty plus hours.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Ozunas is that currently they are reviewing the network infrastructure
and implementing changes so if an issue like this happens,
it will not impact the county as much and will
reduce the turnaround time.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Right now, it was all in one plate, and they're
going to separate it out into several different plates basically
so that when a crash happens, it doesn't all land
on one one thing and spread it out between several
so that we don't have such a long turnaround time.
It's going to take time.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Another action the supervisor set May twenty seventh, at nine
to fifteen am for the fiscal year twenty five budget amendments.
Maria Torres, Health Equity cores Ordinator with the Pottawatamee County
Public Health was recognized at the Pottawatamee County Board of
Supervisors meeting this morning. Matt Wyant, director of Planning and Development,
informed the supervisors that Maria Torres recently received two state

(02:13):
level awards, the twenty twenty five Iowa Public Health Hero Award,
from the University of Iowa College of Public Health and
the Outstanding New Volunteer of the Year Award from the
Alzheimer's Association of Iowa.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Both awards recognizing her service and contributions to public health.
These awards are a significant honor not only to Maria personally,
but also to our entire department and the county. Individual
recognition at the state level as a testament to the
caliber of work being done here at a local level,
and it reflects the culture of excellence, accountability, and the

(02:47):
dedication within our team. When a staff member is recognized
in this way, you know, strengthens the reputation of our department,
It motivates our team, and it increases the public confidence
and the services that we provide. And also showed cases
of value of investing in our staff development and the
positive outcomes that result from supporting and empowering our public servants.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Wyant expressed his pride in Maria and his gratitude to
the board for their continued support of both their programs
and their people. Last week, Guthrie County Engineer Josh Seaburn
submitted his five year construction plan, which included a number
of different projects to be done in the county. At
today's supervisors meeting, it was decided which project would go first.

(03:32):
Chris Varney has more on thists.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
The supervisors voted unanimously to repair a fourteen mile stretch
of County Road P twenty eight before other projects. It
came down to P twenty eight versus an eleven mile
stretch of White Pole Road. Seaburn says that no matter
what the supervisors decided to do, it was a win win,
and one.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Thing I would want to add is there is no
wrong answer here, and that's why we're I wanted to
discuss this. There's no right answers, no wrong answer system
matter for it's what goes and how we do the
funding three million dollars in highway funding is mns. That's
a large amount of dollars that really can't be ignored.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
The P twenty eight project is not eligible for federal funds.
It would be paid from a bond, but the White
Pole Road project can be partially funded with a federal
grant that the accounting must apply for through Congressman ZENC.
Nun's offense. They would not find out the results of
that application process until the fall, so Supervisor chair Maggie
Armstrong says it's time to do something now.

Speaker 6 (04:36):
I think my concern is waiting to do anything puts
us in a bad spot with spending the grand dollars
could potentially put us in a bad spot bond bond Sorry,
we'll go bond dollars. Listening to the timeline, I can
understand why, especially seeing there's opportunity for grand dollars to

(04:58):
be able to leverage bond dollars. In the same regard,
we've got roads and bridges that are failing, and so
we need to get those repairs and reconstruction done. And
I don't want to sit and wait any longer, especially
when the repercussions could be having to pay bond dollars back.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Supervisor Mike Dixon says it makes sense to do the
P twenty eight project first.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
I get more complaints now White pul rolls more of
a seasonal complaint now and P twenty it's a every
day Yeah, it isn't every day every day. So seeing
some of that get done, whether it's a corner of it,
all of it, whatever, is showing that we are doing

(05:48):
something about it.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
The P twenty eight construction project will go into this
upcoming FY twenty twenty six budget, while the White Pole
Road will go to next year's f Y twenty twenty seven.
There are still some revisions to be made to the
overall five year construction plan and it'll be voted on
at the next supervisors meeting. Reporting for k SOM and

(06:10):
KS Dot five News, I'm Krisvani.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
The City of Atlantic continues to work on its comprehensive
Plan and nission of Valley Trails. President Dave Chase and
his group were invited to provide input on trails, recreation,
pedestrian and bicycling opportunities in Atlantic. Chase says their organization's
goals are similar to those drafted in two thousand and seven,

(06:32):
twenty fifteen, and twenty twenty two.

Speaker 8 (06:36):
Because there's plans in place as to how trails within
the City of Atlantic can be improved and connected with
one another.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Chase said many of these connections are complete and need
to be promoted in cooperation with the Parks and w
Rec Advisory Commission. They want to get some leverage into
the city's comprehensive plan regarding bike trail usage and bikeability
in Atlantic. The first draft of the comprehensive plan has
those items in it. Jase said the short term goal
is connecting trails to the Atlantic park system.

Speaker 8 (07:09):
We've got ten parks in the city of Atlantic and
connecting those parks and getting out to Scholburg Scholburgh Quarry
Recreation Area, which already has established recreational trails and has
been connected with the Atlantic municipal utilities. Well Field Let

(07:29):
also have trails in that area.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Dave Chase said the goal is to connect the T
Bone Trail to Atlantic. Nishevali Trails wants to make Atlantic
a destination for the tabone and the Great American Rail Trail,
which covers thirty seven hundred miles through twelve states, including Iowa.
The Owura Department Natural Resources will be presenting new proposed
deer hunting regulations for portions of western Iowa that are

(07:54):
intended to allow the deer herd to recover from a
major sustained decline throughout the region for the past fifteen years.
Proposed regulations will be presented and discussed at three public
meetings May nineteenth and Denison at Yellow Smoke Park Lookout Shelter,
May twentieth in Hinton, and May twenty first, Ensiue Center.
The meetings began at six point thirty pm. The Iowa

(08:17):
DNR held eight meetings in Western Iowa last July to
address the sustained decline and deer population in that region.
Attendees were provided with information on the population decline, impacts
of disease, changes in land cover, and high dough harvest
over the past decade, and were surveyed for their satisfaction
of the local deer density, current antlerless harvest restrictions, support

(08:41):
for further harvest restrictions, and more. The results from the
survey guided the new proposed regulations. This is the second
phase of the Western Iowa Deer Initiative for the Iowa
dn R will present specific proposed regulations for the region,
different from anything done in the past, engage the support
and tall laurances of the hunters. More news online at
