Public Works the Focus at County Meeting

 

Montgomery County Commissioners met yesterday morning for their regular meeting with one item on the agenda – Public Works. The Coordinator of Public Works, Jim Wright, addressed commissioners, requesting to purchase a new truck mount air compressor from the company, Fastenal, for about $2,500. Also, a public complaint submitted to the county clerk's office about a railroad crossing at 1st St. and Sycamore in Independence was discussed. Wright tells us more about a new bridge project awarded to B&B Bridge Company.
 

Furthermore, Mr. Wright gave commissioners a copy of the 2017 Summary of County Engineers' Annual Reports which includes information about all the county roads and budgets in the state of Kansas.

 

He also provided them with the KDOT Executive Summary (link below) on the Joint Legislative Transportation Vision Task Force comprised of 35 members from across the state, led by Senator Carolyn McGinn and Representative Richard Proehl. In the Fall of last year, the task force met 12 times to evaluate the status of the transportation system, and their conclusions and recommendations to the legislature for improving the state's transportation network.
