Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Gerd Clabaugh announced today (Tuesday) that he is retiring from his position, effective July 31, 2020. Clabaugh stated he is retiring from Iowa government service to spend more time with family and seek new opportunities.
“It’s been my honor to serve the administrations of former Governor Branstad and Governor Reynolds,” said Clabaugh. “I am very proud of the work of IDPH staff to support Governor Reynolds’ response to the COVID-19 outbreak, and I look forward to continuing to support IDPH’s outbreak response work through my departure in July.”
“I thank Director Clabaugh for his years of service to the state of Iowa,” said Governor Reynolds. “Under Clabaugh’s tenure, Iowa has strengthened infectious disease response, consolidated critical health data collection systems to improve their sustainability, and led the agency through the achievement of national accreditation.”
Clabaugh has served as IDPH director since 2014.

The Atlantic Parks and Recreation Board held a meeting on Monday night and discussed work on the city pool. With the recent decision to keep the pool closed for the year, Parks and Rec Director Bryant Rasmussen looked into the possibility of bringing in painters earlier than was planned at the end of the pool season. He said bids for the pool painting to be done earlier dropped the price tag by about $21,000.
The board discussed whether the pool should open for the season now that further restrictions related to the pandemic have been lifted by the Governor, or if they should remain closed and get the painting done along with some other updating work. The decision was made to go ahead with the painting and update the pool for next year.
The board also had some discussion on discouraging fireworks being used in city parks and a recent eagle scout project to add some bird nestboxes at Schildberg Recreation Area and Sunnyside Park.
