The Mahaska County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting yesterday morning and had a brief discussion on the actions taken by Mahaska County in response to supervisor Steve Wanders using a racial slur during a public meeting on March 4. Paul Greufe, a human resources consultant for Mahaska County, detailed some of the events in the aftermath of that meeting.

Greufe added that the county had conversations with legal counsel, but he was unable to share those conversations due to confidentiality. He also said that the county had done its part to address concerns from the community.

No comments were made by any board members following Greufe’s statements.

The next regular meeting with the Mahaska County Board of Supervisors is scheduled for April 20.
