2. APPOINTMENTS:
Rick Nondorf, Road & Bridge Supervisor asked the Commissioners to sign two easements for the Wagner Bridge. It is on the State’s five-year plan and will be bid in October of this year. The Road Dept. and Noxious Weed Dept. exchanged one truck and then a total of three trucks were sold by sealed bid. Mr. Nondorf inquired about the new pit the landfill intended to open. They will be needing dirt in the near future and could perhaps start digging the pit and use the dirt. He needs to check with Mrs. Shute as we are not sure the new pits have been approved by KDHE. Mr. Nondorf expressed an interest in buying a small piece of Union Pacific land if the Commissioners were going to be purchasing some other land from them. The equipment that Mr. Nondorf plans to replace this year is a Gallon blade, 95 Ford truck, a semi and a salt truck. The Commissioners gave Mr. Nondorf authority to purchase a salt truck whenever one becomes available.
Kevin Cowan, Gilmore & Bell, took the Commissioners through the temporary note to be issued on Friday, February 4. Citizens State Bank will be the lender and the interest rate will be 2.9%. The money will be used to build the 4-H barn.
