Spencer, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — Allen Batschelet has been installed as chairman of the Clay County Board of Supervisors for the year.

He says the overall goal is always efficient and effective service, but long-term flood prevention needs to move to the top of the list of priorities.

Even before the flood emergency service to rural areas was on the radar.

An E.M.S. study commissioned by the board of supervisors should be completed this month.  Allen Batschelet was our guest Monday on the Big Interview on KICD-AM.
