This means that if a County employee fails a drug test, even with a medicinal marijuana license, they are subject to termination.

Part of the new system will be implemented by this time next summer . the ability to text 911 will soon be available in Osage County this will provide those in emergencies and opportunity to send a text to dispatch, and have Emergency Services sent to their location. The Next Step in preparing for Next Generation 911 will be getting GIS to 98% accuracy, but Kelly says that they will be ready for the transition when it happens.
