Yuma County launches 'YouGov' leadership series; health district warns residents after mosquito activity spike
Summary
County communications announced a new nine‑session leadership series for upper management called YouGov, a mosquito surveillance uptick of Aedes aegypti prompted a public‑health advisory about eliminating standing water, and county departments will begin relocating to a new Administration Services Building.
Yuma County announced new public information items during the meeting's presentation segment.
Human Resources introduced "YouGov," a nine‑session leadership program for upper management designed to strengthen familiarity with county operations, budgeting, governance and public‑service ethics. The county said the series runs through December and will be led by subject‑matter experts and county officials with access to an online learning platform.
The Yuma County Health District urged residents to eliminate standing water and take precautions after surveillance traps detected increased numbers of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which can carry diseases such as Zika and dengue. Officials urged use of insect repellent and targeted reduction of small standing‑water sites around homes; the county noted no local disease transmissions had been reported.
Departments will begin relocating to a new Administration Services Building at 187 South Main Street; residents were encouraged to check the county website for updated service availability. The county also reminded families about Halloween safety guidance issued by local officials.
These items were presented as informational and did not require board action at the meeting.
