Courthouse re-opens

Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/18/2020 - 7:43am

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors on Monday agreed to reopen the county courthouse albeit with some requirements.
Supervisor Chair Erik Underberg asked department heads what protocols they would like to see in place.
Humboldt County Treasurer Jana Bratland said her office probably gets the most foot traffic of any in the courthouse, and there is only room for three customers at a time in the office, while still maintaining adequate social distancing. It is asked that people visiting the treasurer’s office self limit to three at a time in the office. Other customers are asked to wait and seat themselves in the chairs along the north wall. The chairs are being moved so customers can see inside the office.

As of right now, the 2020 Humboldt County Fair will be held July 21-27 at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds.
After careful consideration, the Humboldt County Fair Board voted June 8 to have the fair, following the most current proclamations or orders from the Iowa Department of Public Health as provided by Governor Kim Reynolds.
“We understand things could change between now and the fair. Safety is of great concern. We’ve discussed multiple options if things change and we will be able to change with the proper protocal,” Fair Board President Jeff Haselhuhn said.
Haselhuhn said the Fair Board has received many positive comments about having the fair.
“We are fortunate that Humboldt County has had a low number of cases. I think our community has been responsible social distancing and staying home if you don’t feel good,” Haselhuhn said.
