(Greenfield) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday morning, authorized County Treasurer Brenda Wallace to begin the process of hiring a replacement for an employee in her office who has resigned.

The Board passed a Transfer Resolution for Auditor Mandy Berg.

The Supervisors authorized Board Chair Steve Shelley to sign a Contract and Performance Bond for the Lakeview Drive culvert project. And, based on a recommendation by County Engineer Nick Kauffman, the Board rejected bids received for a reinforced concrete box (RCB) culvert project on W20 Jackson Road, after both bids came in at nearly one-half million dollars, or about 23.7% above the engineer’s estimate.

Kauffman said if they use a “Less conservative approach,” they could save around $100,000. The project will be re-let at a later date in hopes of receiving better bids.

Kauffman discussed also, a repair quote for the N35 Summit bridge.

And the Board spent time discussing with Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater, FY2023 Sheriff’s Office wages.
