Council approves consent items: WIC bookkeeping correction, infrastructure appropriations, Edinburgh endorsement and job classification

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.
