Public Works Director Davis had a minor comment regarding
the funding for the bridge itself. He informed the Board that
during the budget session last year, they appropriated $320,000
for the bridge and two culverts that we went to bid on a month or
so ago. If you add the cost of the bridge to the culverts, he
is about $40,0.00 over, but in the Road & Bridge budgeted account,
he is only about 61% encumbered through the year, which is 83%
lapsed; so, he can do some line transfers through the Road &
Bridge budget to take care of the overage, if the Board has no
objections.
The Board agreed that he should make the appropriate line
transfers within the R&B budget.
There being no further business, on Motion duly made,
seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 9:02 o'clock A.M.
