By Braden Moles - bmoles@aimmediamidwest.com
EATON Preble County EMA Director Dave Anderson met with the Preble County Commissioners during their Wednesday, Jan. 13 meeting to discuss vaccine distribution throughout the county.
Anderson said the EMA is working very closely with Preble County Public Health on the county’s COVID-19 pandemic response.
“I’ve been assisting the health department and doing planning, setup and operations of the vaccine clinic,” he said. “We’ve had four of them so far, and they’ve been attended well. Everything has gone very, very smoothly. That just kind of shows that if you have a little bit of planning ahead of time, that things work out great.”
Hubbard County increases solid waste fees

The Hubbard County Board approved a small increase to 2021 solid waste assessments at their Dec. 15 meeting.
County Solid Waste Administrator Josh Holte originally proposed increasing the assessment for year-round/seasonal residential from $149 to $160, an $11 jump.
The board asked Holte to review his budget and find a solution for no increases.
“The big reason, initially, for looking at increasing the solid waste assessment is we’re looking at a $10 per ton increase in our tipping fees in Polk County, so we’re going from $65 per ton up to $75 per ton,” Holte explained.
