Board approves hiring part-time ditch-mowing worker for secondary roads
Summary
Hardin County approved hiring a part-time employee to continue mowing road ditches after the previous part-timer retired; staff said the county budgets $30,000 annually for the work but historically spends less.
The Hardin County Board approved hiring a part-time employee to mow roadside ditches for the secondary-roads department.
Staff explained the previous part-time worker who handled ditch mowing retired and did not want to continue; the department budgets $30,000 annually for part-time upkeep but has historically underspent that line. "It cost us I budget 30 grand every year and we never spend that much," the staff member said, adding the work keeps intersections clear and safe.
A board member moved to approve the hire, the motion was seconded and carried without recorded discussion.
Staff said the choice is to hire a part-time worker or discontinue mowing, which could affect visibility at intersections; the board approved continuing the service.
