Summary
The council approved routine consent items including a WIC line‑item transfer, combined appropriations for highway projects (Bridge 602, school zone flashers, Whiteland/Sawmill intersection), a letter supporting Edinburgh Main Street, and a job classification correction for the animal shelter; no major controversy arose on these items.
At its Nov. 10 meeting the Johnson County Council approved several routine and housekeeping items by motion.
Tracy Smith, Johnson County WIC coordinator, requested a bookkeeping correction to add a distribution line for a clinic assistant; the council approved the transfer after confirming it was not a new position.
The council combined and approved three highway department additional appropriations (D2–D4) to support Bridge 602 design work, a federally funded school zone flasher project for unincorporated county school locations, and the county share of the Whiteland Road/Sawmill Road intersection improvement under an interlocal agreement.
Council authorized sending an endorsement letter on county letterhead to support the Edinburgh Main Street OCRA grant application; staff were asked to coordinate the final language with legal.
In old/new business the council approved sending the animal shelter job classification and compensation maintenance plan to WIS for review to correct an incorrect classification for a deputy warden/road commander; council members said the action does not change current salary and is a clerical classification correction.
All items were approved by motion and voice vote as presented.
