Lawrence County commissioners approve landslide repair contract, appointments and routine transfers
Summary
At their weekly meeting in March, the Lawrence County Board of Commissioners awarded a $220,410 landslide repair contract, approved appropriations and transfers under $7,075,000, appointed a juvenile-court magistrate and took several routine bid actions, all by unanimous voice vote.
Lawrence County commissioners on a weekly March meeting approved a series of routine motions, including a contract award for a road landslide repair and an appointment to the juvenile court.
The board voted to award contract PW 660 for a landslide repair on Lawrence County Road 126867 to Allen Stone Company Incorporated for $220,410 and approved appropriations and transfers listed as “under $7,075,000,” acting administrator Chris Klein told the board. Commissioners also approved sending the precision approach path indicator (PAPI) lighting-system project to the Lawrence County Airport Court and received and referred a petition to make Township Road 84 North a road maintained by Union Township.
Why it matters: the landslide repair work and the airport lighting project are capital works that affect county infrastructure and budgets; the appointment fills an open juvenile-court seat and ensures continuity in the court’s operations.

Board process and votes: For each action the board asked for individual voice votes. Commissioners present — identified in the transcript as Commissioner Finley, Commissioner Holiday and Dr. Copley — responded “Yes” when called, and each motion carried by unanimous voice vote. Where the transcript recorded only “so moved” and “second,” the record did not specify which commissioner made the motion or the second for every item. The transcript records the motions and the roll-call-style verbal affirmations for each item.
Background and next steps: County engineer Patrick Lydie submitted the bid recommendations that led to the $220,410 award. The PAPI lighting project was presented for signature and forwarding to the airport body for further action. The appointment to the juvenile court fills a vacancy through the end of 2026; the transcript does not record further administrative steps or confirmations beyond the board’s approval.
Ending: The commission closed the formal agenda after the listed motions and moved on to public comment and other announcements.
