The trustees mentioned that the
bids came back from the County Engineer and Prosecutor for the Homegardner
Rd Phase III Issue II project. There was a correction made to Ed Burdue’s
bid. The corrected amount is $190,546.02. The correction is due to a
calculation error. The trustees said that according to the Prosecutor the
“unit Price” specified in the column marked “unit price” in the bid will
govern the award of the contract. Ed Burdue signed a letter saying he would
honor the corrected bid price.
Mr. Timothy Riesterer moved,
seconded by Mr. Joe Bias to award the Homegardner Rd. Phase III widening and
resurfacing Issue II Project to Ed Burdue Co. for $190,546.02. Vote: all

received for the seasonal Road Department job. After going over them for
qualifications, the job store sent us 15. The trustees will go over these
and conduct interviews on the top few.
Mr. Jim Neill gave his report.
Jim said he received a complaint regarding Sand Hill Cemetery having ruts in
the driveway and winter items still up. Mr. Bias said the Sand Hill
Committee has a meeting on Monday and he will mention these things. Jim
wanted to know what to do about the clean up that need to be done after
completing the Homegardner Rd Drainage Project. The trustees said for him to
get it done.
Chief Keimer gave his monthly
report. He said that it looks like we can still get the discount for Drug
Free Workplace. BWC has taken the 5 year limit off for discounts.
The trustees mentioned that it
looks like the state will be taking away the Local Government Funds that we
receive and will keep that money for the State Budget.

on June 12 from 9-noon.
