Road and Bridge Supervisor Kamron Woodring and Marvin Cooper and Troy LaHue with the Mill Creek/Nishnabotna Drainage District met with the commission to discuss adding a section of county roads 426 and 427 along a section of Golden Avenue and 207th Street to the CART Program since the drainage pumps have been relocated following the flood and the repair of the levee. Supervisor Woodring stated that there will be more work on the seep berm and that is why the county has been holding off doing any additional work in the area. Since the road is an access point to a conservation area, they felt the best way to move forward was to contact Blaine Adams at the St. Joseph Department of Conservation headquarters to see if they will assist with offsetting the cost of the rock needed. Troy LaHue will contact Mr. Adams.
There being no further business, the commission adjourned.
