Local non profit and charity organizations can raise money for their cause by helping to clean up roadways in the Municipality of Lunenburg.
The Municipal Joint Services Board is offering groups $100 per kilometre for up to 5 kilometres to pick up trash on both sides of the road.
Stephanie Smitts, Outreach and Communications Supervisor for the Joint Municipal Service Board said certain areas are in desperate need of clean up.
“Main roadways tend to be really bad and in the country their are certain pockets that tend to be bad,” said Smitts. “We try to keep things in check through litter clean up programs.”
The state and Oklahoma County are both focusing on making shots available in every community.
Wednesday, 3,000 people will get a dose on Oklahoma City University s campus, a location close to a few minority communities. We re really excited, said Thuan Nguyen the President of the Asian District Cultural Association.
He and others in the community have helped put together Wednesday s pod at the Freede Wellness Center. They wanted to make sure that their 65+ population were able to get the vaccine. Nguyen said sometimes the older members of the Asian community struggle with technology or have a language barrier.
Nguyen and the district partnered with OCCHD to set aside 1,500 doses specifically to serve the Asian community.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors are asking for input from department heads; getting their thoughts on use of the space that will be vacated on the lower level of the Carroll County Courthouse once the new jail is fully functional. Carey Kersey, Director of Environmental and Passport Services, has an office in the basement. She says there are layout issues when it comes to moving up a level.
She adds, however, that something needs to be done about reception issues with newer technology in the basement. Other departments at that level, IT and the City/County Communication Center, agree. There was discussion about one area that will be costly to renovate, the current jail. Supervisor Chair, Gene Meiners, suggested storage. Questions were raised about the amount of unused space. Meiners says the area to the west is newer and the jail space to the east has garage access. Auditor, Kourtney Irlbeck, made a maintenance suggestion.
