The Adair County Board of Supervisors will conduct an in-person and electronic meeting 9-a.m. today (Via dial-in at (605)-313-6157, access code 526272#).

In other business, the Board will hold a Public Hearing on an FY21 Budget Amendment, following by action on a Resolution to approve the amendment, and an Appropriations Resolution. They will also hear from Sheriff Jeff Vandewater, with regard to a Jail Administrator new hire, and County Engineer Nick Kauffman. He will discuss several matters with the Board, including: Empowerment of County Engineer; A Right-of-way and temporary easement purchase; A Bridge Weight limit Resolution, and other, Secondary Roads Dept. matter.

During their meeting last week, the Adair County Supervisors voted to continue current Adair County Courthouse COVID-19 mitigation measures through at least the end of this month. That means the courthouse will remain locked and services will be conducted at a window outside the building. Beginning today, the Supervisors will meet in person for budgeting purposes. Everyone else will participate by phone conference (by using the numbers above).

Officials say visitors are asked to enter the west door elevator entrance window. They are asked to call the courthouse, and employees can help them from that particular window. If someone must enter the facility, the staff will take their temperature. Otherwise, the driver’s license services are by appointment only.
