Harvey County commissioners on June 24 approved a contract with the Reno County Health Department to provide registered dietitian services for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program in Harvey County.

Tristan, fiscal management coordinator for the health department, presented the contract and said it was submitted to the board for authorization of the health director’s signature. Tristan also explained that a $500 sponsorship for Sand Creek Summer Days came from a tobacco‑control grant that supports sponsorships for community events.

Commissioners asked questions about the contract and the sponsorship. Tristan described the $500 as a tobacco‑control grant (CDRR) sponsorship and confirmed health department staff had staffed an information booth at the event. The motion to approve the contract with Reno County Health Department for WIC registered dietitian services was made, seconded and approved by the commission.

County staff said the contract and the event sponsorship are consistent with grant terms and program activities; the health director will sign the agreement on behalf of the county.
