The full story

County Engineer Catherine Terando updated the board on road work and equipment: a culvert extension at a township road entrance, routine tractor servicing, two trucks repaired after the first snow event, and the Harvest Road bridge nearing completion. During the same agenda item the Board approved several highway-related actions: a resolution establishing the County Engineer's salary at "60% of 95% of recommendation from IDOT in conjunction with Putnam County" (#25-89), an agreement to participate in the County Engineer's Salary Program (#25-90), a resolution appropriating funds for payment of the County Engineer's salary (#25-91), and an ordinance establishing a right-of-way (ROW) permit fee schedule (#25-92). Each motion passed with "all ayes, and 0 nays" recorded in the minutes.
