(Greenfield) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday morning, passed a Resolution for a Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Amendment. There were no comments from the public during a hearing held prior to passage. Supervisor Board Chair Steve Shelley – with help from Auditor Mandy Berg – went through the list of appropriations where budget increases or adjustments were found:

The Board also accepted “With great regret,” the resignation effective June 4th, of Jennifer Erbes, who serves as one of three Clerks in the Adair County Treasurer’s Office. County Treasurer Brenda Wallace said Jen submitted her two-week notice on May 21st. On a related note, the Board approved advertising for a person to fill the open post.

In other business, Adair County Supervisors Board Chair Steve Shelley read a letter from Stuart area resident Curt Beane, with regard to the County’s Solar Farm Ordinance. Shelley said Beane had asked for clarification on enforcing the Ordinance going forward, with regard to an existing Memorandum pertaining to leases and easements in the Lincoln Township that were signed prior to passage of the Ordinance on May 5th.

The Board members said they had not seen anything with that regard, nor had Supervisor Twombly. Since the Ordinance is in the hands of the County Attorney Melissa Larson, the Board of Supervisor’s too no action, other than acknowledging receipt of the letter.
