The Adair County Board of Supervisors met for their regular meeting on Wednesday at the Adair County Courthouse.

During the meeting the board unanimously approved the hiring of Nathan Reed of Fontanelle for the position of Deputy Auditor. His salary was set at $46,216.55 to start. His tentative start date will be August 30th.

The board also received a report from the Veteran’s Affairs Office. Gwen Johnston has been approved as Administrator for the County on August 1st. Her salary was bumped up to $21.49 per hour. They also discussed allowing the former administrator to come in to cover the office as needed. Johnston also talked about possibly adjusting the office hours to be open later on Wednesdays to better accommodate some working vets.

They also have been working hard on transporting Vets to health appointments with the implementation of the PACT act. They discussed receiving a car from the VA for that purpose and where to keep it parked.

The board also heard a report on road projects from the Engineers Office and approved the signing of a Right of Way contract for N24 Prussia culvert project.
