Oktibbeha County approves some road projects, delays others amid funding dispute
Summary
The Oktibbeha County Board approved notices to proceed on several road projects while rejecting or tabling others after a heated debate over which funds to use.
The Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 6 approved notice-to-proceed motions for several road improvement projects but rejected or took other bids under advisement after supervisors clashed over funding sources.
The board approved a notice to proceed for the Blackjack Road improvement project, with the board record showing the work to be funded from District 5 funds. Supervisors also approved a notice to proceed for a District 2 road package with Pittman Construction, for a contract amount quoted in the meeting at $2,000,624.73, with the caveat that work would proceed contingent on available district funds and that change orders could be used later to reconcile shortfalls.
