HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT:
Todd Listerman, Highway Engineer-
North Dearborn realignment – will be paving next week and open by early
December hopefully. They will stay open all winter and finish in the spring
when they reclose it again.
Striping will
done on North Dearborn and Weisburg still this year.
On North Dearborn
project: Two change orders- $4741.00 80/20 split is due to additional
traffic maintenance on Hiltz Rd for detour for the North Dearborn project was
approved. Second change order was for
chemical stabilization of sub- base and they found high sulfate contact there.
So they couldn’t do that. Instead they used stone so change order was
$196,971.95 80/20 split for the stone. It is still under budget costs. Stone is
actually better for strength for the base. Commissioners approved the change
order.
Asking Council tonight to encumber the funds for Bridge 102
on North Dearborn for Creekside. They will do this after the first of the year
and start it in May and reopen in August. This minimizes the school bus
impacts.
Listerman to get a timeline for Stateline project for Hughes.
Tim Grieve, Highway
Superintendent-Highway worker – Aaron Watson new employee of about a year
and a half- was seriously injured by falling 30 ft out of a tree stand while
deer hunting. Grieve wanted everyone to keep the family in their thoughts thru
the holidays. Commissioners will send a
Get Well card.
Asking for money for the tractor they approved. Paving is
finishing up. Some of the highway workers are driving trucks home in
anticipation of bad weather. They have been training the new guys. They will
have the 2nd tandem snow truck ready in December also.
ADMINISTRATOR:
Teresa Randall on vacation- presented by Todd Listerman:
Votaw and Shumway updates needs an additional $135,000 to
take down both buildings and bring them up thru paving the lots. Commissioners
approved them going to Council to seek this on December 11th.
Commissioners wanted to keep with original goals to expand the campus as the
county was land –locked. McHenry said he understood this was the original
thinking and thought it would be counter productive to keep looking at other
uses when we needed the space.
AUDITOR: Gayle
Pennington- Commissioners ratified Hughes signatures for additional borings by
Alt and Witzig Engineering from Carmel, IN to see what the soil is like under
the proposed jail expansion.
Commissioners ratified Hughes signature for $4700 for
