The McPherson County Board of Commissioners on March 11, 2026, unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2026-9, the county’s One and Six Road Improvement Plan, and approved the March Road Plan following routine road department updates.
Commissioner Brett Nason moved to adopt Resolution No. 2026-9; Commissioner Jeff Arensdorf seconded. Voting Aye were Nason, Arensdorf and Chairman John Bryant. The record shows the motion carried without opposition.
Highway Superintendent Tom Werblow briefed the board on roadwork activity: crews have been hauling rock, repairing soft spots, patching potholes and fixing auto-gates. Werblow also outlined the county’s recent application for a HUB Grant with the Nebraska Department of Transportation; the minutes record that the chairman signed an application for Hanich Trust funding as well. The record does not specify award amounts, grant deadlines or match requirements.
Jordan Gardner of Murphy Tractor presented a trade-in proposal for the county’s Cat grader; the board agreed to place consideration of the trade-in on the April agenda for further review. The board also discussed a proposed contract labor agreement with Luke Franzen to perform asphalt patching on Soddy Road; details were not finalized and the item will return for additional discussion in April.
The board declared a recently replaced flatbed trailer surplus and directed it be sold at online auction; the minutes did not specify sale timing or reserve price. The county’s Safety Committee met and Werblow distributed materials on safe motor grader operations.
The board set no new deadlines tied to the resolution in the meeting record. The commissioners adjourned at 10:50 AM and scheduled their next regular meeting for 9:00 AM on April 8, 2026.
