Montgomery County Commissioners met and addressed a request from Kent Wicker with Heck and Wicker a contractor who is has a contract to relocate County Road 4500.

In the bid, the allowance for fuel costs did not allow or foresee the sharp rise those costs which are at this time over $100,000 more than the bid. The commissioners moved to send a memo to the contactor to the effect that although they understood the concern of the contractor they would not and were not under the terms of the contact obligated to change or increase the bid.

In other business, the Human Resources Director Becky Lewis addressed the commissioners with a proposal to increase the incentives offered to the county employees in an effort to help retention. No action was taken other than to set up a work session for today to further explore the options. The results of that work session will be shared at next week’s meeting.
