Christian County approves MOA to mitigate historic impacts for Red Bridge replacement project
Summary
The Commission approved a memorandum of agreement among federal, state and tribal partners and an academic consultant to mitigate and monitor historic and archaeological impacts for the Red Bridge replacement project.
The Christian County Commission approved a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the Red Bridge replacement project. Highway Administrator Miranda Beadles presented the MOA, which involved the USDA Forest Service, Missouri State Historic Preservation Office, the Osage Nation, Missouri Preservation, and Dr. Robert Kipfer; the agreement "outlines efforts to mitigate and monitor any negative effects to the historic or archaeological impacts to the bridge and surrounding land." Eastern Commissioner Bradley A. Jackson moved to approve the MOA; Western Commissioner Johnny Williams seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The MOA centralizes mitigation and monitoring responsibilities among multiple parties as the county proceeds with the replacement project. The minutes do not include technical mitigation measures or a project schedule; they record the Commission's authorization to proceed with the MOA as presented.
