Two items were on the agenda when the Wayne County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on Tuesday.
Wayne County Emergency Manager Nic Kemnitz shared information on two upcoming training exercises that will be held in Wayne.
An Emergency Operations Center Functional Exercise on Thursday, Jan. 9 will deal with a winter storm with snow squalls. The training will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Wayne County Emergency Operations Center.
Keminitz explained that a snow squall was a brief period of heavy, snow with wind that "causes lots of problems when people get caught in it."
He encouraged the commissioners to attend the training if their schedules allowed them to.
The second training will take place on Monday, Jan. 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Wayne Fire Hall.
It involves a Cyber Ready Community Game and is being co-sponsored by the Northeast Nebraska Public Health Department and Northeast Community College.
The second item on Tuesday's agenda involved approving a Memorandum of Understanding for a Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Justice Partnership Plan.
Deputy County Attorney Ted Lohrberg talked with the commissioners on the partnership and said that the Juvenile Diversion program has an office in Norfolk and Madison County uses the partnership with Wayne County to obtain grant funds to run the program.
He also explained the diversion program and the supervision involved with the juveniles enrolled in the program. He said there is no cost to the county to be a part of the program.
The Wayne County Board of Commissioners will next meet in regular session on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 9 a.m. in the Wayne County Courtroom.
