Adair Fiscal Court Report - 10 Oct 2017 session In last night's Regular Session of Fiscal Court:
Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Ed Waggener The Adair County Fiscal Court covered a wide variety of issues at its regular monthly session, Tuesday, October 10, 2017, preparation for this weeks Downtown Days, awarding of bids for new Road Department pickups, greater leeway for the county road department's eradication of poison hemlock, a landmark interlocal agreement, and, among other things, a citizens proposal to implement a 2% tourism tax and a hint of what the next bridge replacement might be. Vicky Pike announces gift from Troy Kimbler to Downtown Days Vicky Pike, who said she had grown very concerned when she read the news that the county planned to open the Annex Restrooms to Downtown Days visitors, announced to the court that she had secured five port-a-pottys as a gift from Troy Kimbler of Kimbler Sanitation which, Judge Stephens agreed, would be set up in the Adair Annex Parking lot during the festival. "Unfortunately," she said before the before meeting, "There was a real mess made by some of the public last year. I didn't think it was fair to the county or the maintenance staff to have to clean it up." She said that two of the portable restrooms will be handicapped equipped; the other three will be regular ones. Roads: report/new trucks/next bridge/ Adair County Road Foreman Terry Corbin delivered the road department report. Mr. Corbin reported that the current mowing cycle has been completed, and that the department is running smoothly at this time and is preparing for winter maintenance. During the meeting, bids for two new trucks were opened by Adair County Treasurer Melinda Quinn and read to the court by CJE Michael L. Stephens. Both bids were from dealerships in the Franklin Family group, headquartered in Columbia. The Court chose Chevrolet Models bid at $33,775.00 each. Mr. Corbin also agreed to work with Vicky Pike to eradicate Poison Hemlock. The court voted to approve County Eradication to property line fences, which may be more than 15 feet from the center line of County Road, as previously restricted, when Poison Hemlock plants rear their gazillion blooms, come June. The Road Foreman said, after the meeting, that the bridge work is complete on the Barnett's Creek Road span. He said that plans are being considered for the selection of the next replacement. Highest priority is for one on Rollen Coomer Road in Magisterial District 3. Finally, Bunnell Road will be maintained by Adair County The court authorizing completion of necessary paperwork for an interlocal agreement with Taylor County Fiscal Court which will allow Bunnell Road, an important farm-to-market county road, to be maintained entirely by the Adair County Road Department. The road is partially in Taylor County, but the truck farm, Coview Farms, pays property taxes in Adair County. Approval was made on a motion by Sixth District Magistrate Greg Caldwell, with a second by Terry Hadley (7). For Caldwell, it was the fruition of a year long negotiation to bring an fair resolution to Darrell Bunnell's quandary when, for a period, it appeared he would languish as "the man without a county." Common sense prevailed, and an important agricultural enterprise was aided. Bus turn approved by County At the request of Adair County Schools Transportation David Jones, the Court approved all necessary acts to secure a bus turnaround at 3540 Weed Keltner Road, at the residence of Steve Coffey. The voice votes were unanimous. Reading of roads The court approved the first reading of previously mentioned bus turn at 3570 Weed Keltner road and approved the second reading of a speed limit change on Burton Garmon Road from 55 mph to 25 mph. Both roads are in Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey's sixth district.

Cline as a part-time dispatcher at the Adair County 911 Center, at a starting pay of $9.60 per hour.

Annex Basement Rental Policy changed The court voted to authorize Adair County Treasurer Melinda Quinn to write Return of Key Deposit refunds by issuing checks once a month. The basic rental fee of $50 includes a $10 key deposit. Treasurer Quinn said that the county cannot keep cash funds in the office, and this is the best way to pay the refunds. The voice vote, on a motion by Terry Hadley (7), with a second by Perry Reeder (4), was unanimous. Adair County Sheriff's Report Adair County Sheriff Harrison's Activity Report for September 2017 was read and unanimously approved by the court. He said that the new crusier recently authorized would be ready to pick up any day now. Later in the meeting, Kenny Absher of Cane Valley, proposed the county apply a 2% Tourism Tax, with all the proceeds going to the sheriff's department. He lauded Sheriff Moss as 'the best sheriff Adair County ever had,' city the ACSO's courtesy and patient staff. He extended the similar accolades to the office of Adair County Attorney Jennifer Hutchison Corbin. Absher's remarks were predicated handling of a recent burglary in the Cane Valley area, and a murder several months ago. He said the crimes could have been solved had the ACSO been able to obtain equipment and staff to use, needed in investigations. Sheriff Moss had not requested the tax, but said that a bigger budget would mean greater results, fewer cold cases.
