(Greenfield, IA) – The Adair County Board of Supervisor, during their regular weekly meeting this (Wednesday) morning, received information about a possible event tied-in to the America/Iowa 250 celebrations. Brenda Dudley, with Midwest Partnership, said the original idea was to hold a marathon road race on the 26-mile stretch of White Pole Road, but that idea was set aside over safety concerns by officials in Guthrie County. They then considered a relay race.

Supervisor Jodie Hoadley suggested tying that type of event (A poker run)-in with a car show.

Nothing has been decided on, with additional discussions yet to take place to try and come up with a plan for the celebration. In other business, the Adair County Supervisors heard from Courthouse Maintenance Director/Custodian Scott Roberts, with regard to an On-Call Custodial Assistant, for when Roberts is not available.

The Board approved hiring of the Mark Lantz as a fill-in custodian and snow removal person, at a rate of $20/hour, contingent upon his passing a test for the position. And, County Engineer Nick Kauffman presented for the Board’s approval, a Contract and Performance Bond with Gus Construction, for the W9 Lincoln (Township) Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert Project. The Board approved the documents as presented. Kauffman also provided his weekly Secondary Roads Department report on maintenance and activities.

In other business, the Board approved a Liquour License Renewal for the 5×80 Country Club near Menlo. And, prior to the conclusion of their meeting, the Adair County Supervisors held a Public Hearing on vacating a portion of 332nd Lane. Having received no comments, the Board passed a motion to vacate the roadway as presented.
