OTHER ROAD DEPARTMENT INFORMATION

 

            Larry Lewis, Consulting Engineer, reported that the Corps of Engineers had agreed to the plans to change the location of the bridge and channel change for the Blue River because of the historic bridge at the location between Sec. 1 and 2-8-4 Grafton Township.  The channel change for the culvert between Sec. 1 and 13-6-3, Stanton Township was also approved.  The Corps verbally denied the channel change for the diagonal box in Madison because it requires too much channel change and because of a wetland area.  Lewis said that if a box on both the north-south road and the east-west road is required, it will require more channel change than the single diagonal culvert proposed.  He plans to send the plans in anyway in order to get a written answer.

 

            Also discussed was the difficulty of writing specifications for part time consulting engineer.  The alternative of an as-needed contract based on an hourly rate was also discussed.

 

            The county was asked if it would be able to assist with the hauling of dirt for the road along the north boundary through the fairgrounds from Road 12 along the north boundary of the fairgrounds.  It was decided that the request should come from the Agricultural Society Board in order for action to be taken.

 

            The State Department of Roads has approved the location of the sign for the Village of Strang.  The location is on State right-of-way between the Strang access road and highway 81 just east of the south exit into Strang.  The Fillmore County Visitors Committee will own the sign and the State will sell a small tract to the County on which to locate the sign.

 

            It was decided to hold an open house for the new shop building from 2.00 to 7.00 p.m. on Monday, August 9th, serving cookies, coffee and ice tea.
