On a related note, the Supervisors in Adair County passed a resolution to take additional action on the bonds, along with a resolution directing the advertising for sale of, and electronic bidding, and an Official Statement. In other business, representatives of Main Street Greenfield requested from the Board a courtyard use permit for the July 23^rd RAGBRAI® event. Main Street Greenfield Executive Director Stacie Eshelman laid-out the tentative arrival plan.

Some of the support vehicles for the riders will be arriving in town the night before.

Vendors for the event will be located on the square in Greenfield, and at the park. Local vendors have dibs on where they will locate their items. The Supervisors voted unanimously to approve a permit issuance. The Adair County Supervisors held a public hearing to vacate a portion of 292^nd Avenue/Lane, south of Bridgewater. Rich Hall, of Massena, who owns property in the area, asked the Board not to close the road.

Hall previously told Supervisor Jodie Hoadly, according to Hoadley, that it would decrease the value of his property, and make it harder for someone who wants to build a new home, access to the property. It’s unclear what the road is classified as. It is maintained by the County, as if it were a Level B road, even though it is not posted as such. After considerable discussion, the Board voted three-to-one to pass a resolution vacating the road, as proposed. Supervisor Hoadley was the lone no vote.

In other action, the Adair County Supervisors approved a Hungry Canyons Project agreement, contract and performance bonds. County Engineer Nick Kauffman reported on the effects of the heavy rains and hail received in the County, Tuesday evening.

Kauffman said some roads were closed overnight due to water flowing across the them.
