Rawlins County, Kan. — The Rawlins County Board of Commissioners voted Aug. 19, 2024, to end services with Public Health Administrator Karla Heble, according to the board’s special‑session minutes.

After a short recess the board held a second attorney‑client executive session beginning at 8:27 a.m., which was extended at 8:37 a.m. and concluded at 8:47 a.m. The minutes say that, following that session, the commissioners asked County Clerk Rachel Finley to call Public Health Administrator Karla Heble to join the meeting.
