Commission approves $12,000 MoDOT grant contract for countywide sign inventory
Summary
Christian County commissioners approved hiring consultant Olsen to perform a countywide sign inventory funded by a $12,000 MoDOT Traffic Engineering Assistance (T) grant; the approval was by voice vote.
Christian County commissioners on May 21 approved a contract with consultant Olsen to carry out a countywide sign inventory funded by a $12,000 Traffic Engineering Assistance (T) grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
Grant, the highway‑department presenter, told commissioners the county received the $12,000 grant and plans to hire Olsen — one of the county's annual engineering services vendors and a qualified MoDOT team — to perform the inventory. "We received a grant for $12,000 to do countywide sign inventory," Grant said.
Commissioner New York moved to approve the contract; a second was recorded and the board approved the item by voice vote. County staff said they will collect signatures and finalize contract documents.
Why it matters: a countywide sign inventory helps the highway department update and prioritize sign maintenance and replacement funded with state grant resources. The contract approval is an initial implementation step; staff will oversee the consultant work and report back to the commission if additional action is needed.
