(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors had a limited agenda this (Wednesday) morning, and wrapped-up their business in about 15-minutes. The Board approved a Child Abuse Grant Draw-down in the amount of $459.25. County Engineer Nick Kauffman presented to the Board for approval and signature, three contracts for culvert construction projects. There were two bidders each of the projects, with Gus Construction of Anita being the low bidder on all three projects. They were awarded the contracts totaling nearly $1.76-million dollars.

The projects include W14 Jefferson, W11 Union (a dirt road), and a DOT bid-letting for a Farm-To-Market culvert extension project affecting 16 different sites on the Fontanelle Road. The road will be closed later this Fall, according to Kauffman, and traffic will be rerouted.

The Adair County Supervisors approved a job classification change for Secondary Roads employee Tracy Fletcher. He will become a Crew Leader, taking over Adam Comstock’s position. The promotion comes with a two-dollar per hour wage increase.

Nick Kauffman then presented the Board with a report the department’s maintenance and activities. He said paint markings on the county roads should begin next week.

The Board’s next regular meeting is on Wednesday, July 26th, beginning at 9-a.m.
