Road and Bridge Supervisor Kamron Woodring was in to present an outline of specifications and permit for work in a county right-of-way for approval.

Permission to plow, bore or to open trenches in any county-maintained right-of-ways must be requested in writing at least seven working days in advance of starting work. Emergency type work, which is for the restoration of interrupted service, may begin immediately with verbal approval of the county supervisor or his authorized representative.
Clerk Taylor noted that the specifications and permit had been reviewed and approved by Attorney Ivan Schraeder. After review and discussion, the commissioners voted to approve and adopt the specifications and permitting process for work within the Atchison County rights-of-way.
E911/Emergency Management Director Rhonda Wiley was in to report that she had been contacted by NTA EMS Rescue out of Bethany, Missouri, to see if Atchison County would be interested in providing a bid to emergency medical dispatch for them. Director Wiley will continue to investigate what would be needed to provide services to them and get back to the commission.

There being no further business, the commission adjourned.
