The Greene County Board of Supervisors met on Monday in regular session.

The Board heard an update from Jefferson City Administrator Scott Peterson. He said there is going to be a construction project that starts later this year for a fuel farm system at the Municipal Airport. Peterson also reported that the Public Works Department has about ten ash trees left to remove from the public easement, after starting with over 600 and he gave a reminder about the city’s financial assistance program for landowners to get help to remove dead or dying trees from their private property.

The Board then approved a resolution to transfer $1,318 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to the general basic fund to pay for attorney fees with Ahlers and Cooney for preparing the documents to obligate those funds that the Board previously approved. The Board also approved increasing the fees for the County Medical Examiner Investigators for Jack Williams and Michele Madsen from $200 to $300 per call when not on duty that is retroactive to January 1, 2025, and then another $50 increase to $350 starting the next fiscal year on July 1st.

The Board also approved two resolutions for road replacement projects in northern Greene County and awarded the contract to the lowest bidder, Cedar Valley Corporation for $10,348,.713 and they set a public hearing for April 7th to discuss the general obligation general fund loan notes for the HVAC project for the Greene County Courthouse.
