The Adair County Board of Supervisors will meet this (Tuesday) morning in Greenfield. During their 9-a.m. session, the Board will discuss and possible act on: Township clerk wages; A Township Clerk/Trustee Questions Resolution, and a Courtyard Use Permit.

At 9:15, Sheriff Brad Newton is expected to present information with regard to the hiring of Jeff Vandewater as deputy, and at 9:30, a public hearing will be held with regard to the proposed plans, specifications, form of contract and cost estimate for a Secondary Roads Department Office Building.

Bids for the proposed 3,500 square foot building have reportedly come in much higher than estimated, with $646,656 being the lowest bid. The County bonded $600,000 for the project, which was estimated to cost $450,000. The Board is expected to reject all bids and find ways to reduce the cost of the building.
