On the subject of Compliance with the Governors Executive Order 20-68 of mandatory mask wearing, the Seward County Commission felt it would be problematic to enforce. Commissioners decided not to make mask wearing mandatory and residents shall not be required to wear masks.

Several CRF funding requests were also reviewed and approved.
