(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday morning, approved a Courtyard use permit for Mainstreet Greenfield, for events taking place on November 22nd. Board Chair Matt Wedemeyer…

On a separate note, Mainstreet Greenfield representative Lyne Don Carlos, discussed courtyard flower pots and a bit of rearranging of the benches.

The Board approved the request, which will be accomplished with help of city crews. The Board discussed, and then agreed to send to Adair County Attorney Melissa Larson, an amendment to the Draft version of the county’s hazardous pipeline ordinance. Matt Wedemeyer said the draft they received last week, is pretty basic. Supervisor Joadie Hoadley initially set she would like to see language added to indicate the pipeline set-back is 250-feet from existing, operational private wells, and leave issue of soil compaction off, for now. The ordinance will go back to Larsen, and eventually onto a public hearing.

In other business, Kerry Aistrope with the County Ag Extension, discussed Extension Summer Programming, some of the funding for which came through a grant from the County.

Aistrope said there are funds left over from the grant, and she asked for the Board’s permission to use $800 for supplies used during the Clover Kids Summer Camps. The Supervisors gave their blessing to continue with the funds. And Terri Raasch talked about the Master Conservation Program and coursework available beginning at the end of April, working in conjunction with the Conservation Board.

And, Adair County Engineer Nick Kauffman discussed with the Board, the sale of used equipment, as well as the use of ARPA funds for the fuel system as mentioned in our previous reports. The Board approved the sale of four single-axle dump trucks, and an updated list of Safety Committee Members. But they voted 3-2 against using some of the remaining ARPA funds for the fuel storage/delivery system they previously discussed and we’re reported on. The Board opted instead to hold onto them for emergencies. The matter will be re-evaluated at budget time.
