(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday morning, approved Township Clerk wages, acknowledged Homestead and Military Disallowances, with letters being sent those affected persons, and a payment from ARPA funds for the Fire Alarms from Johnson Controls. The Board tabled action on an appointment to the Southern Iowa Regional Housing Authority, because there are no candidates who have expressed interest at this time. The Board also tabled action for at least a couple of months, on a RenoDry Dehydration System for the Courthouse. The County was quoted on a rate for the service of $15,370 back in September.

The Adair County Supervisors heard a request from Lucas Queck, Secretary for the County Veteran’s Affairs Commission.

The Board approved his five-percent request on the line item from the new county budget. The Board discussed a Pipeline Ordinance, but took no action because there is still too much that’s unknown, whereas attorneys and the legislature is concerned. Board Member Jodie Hoadley shared her thoughts.

She said “It’s just something we need to look at and educate ourselves on.” Supervisor Matt Wedemeyer said ultimately it’s up to the public and land owners to determine what the County’s role will be.

And, the Adair County Supervisors received a report from County Engineer Nick Kauffman. Board Chair Jerry Walker was authorized by the Board to sign the front (Title) page for Culvert and Culvert Extension Projects on N-25 Grand River and W15 Eureka, respectively.

Payment for the Grand River project will be derived from the LOST funds. The Eurkea Culvert Extension would costs the County about $12,600, assuming it receives Hungry Canyon’s funding toward the remaining total of $58,000. Kauffman will submit the request to Hungry Canyons for approval.
