(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors held their regular weekly meeting this (Wednesday) morning, at the courthouse in Greenfield. During their session, the Board approved continuing with their commitment to stay with ICAP (The Iowa Community Assurance Pool), which provides property and casualty coverage to more than 800 Iowa public entities, including 75 of Iowa’s 99 counties.

And, since no one from Community and Family Resources appeared before the Board to make the funding request, the Supervisors denied the request. Board Chair Nathan Baier and Board members Matt Wedemeyer along with Jodie Hoadley discussed the request in the absence of CFR representatives before denying the request.

The Supervisors then received and acted on awarding a bid for the Adair County Fair Grandstands to the TownsEnd Co. out of Urbandale for $656,000. All the bids came in last Wednesday. There were three companies bidding on the project, with the highest at $796,500, and the other coming in at $658,000.

In other business, the Board heard from Courthouse Maintenance Supervisor Scott Roberts, with regard to the removal of a Crabapple Tree in the Courtyard. The Supervisors approved the hiring of a qualified company to cut the tree down.

A Public Hearing was held on the issuance of General Obligation Urban Renewal Bonds, in an amount not to exceed $5-million. Having received no comments, the Board passed a Resolution instituting proceedings to take additional action.
