Highway Superintendent John Pluimer updated the board Aug. 5 on multiple highway and safety matters. He reported the county's 30-year-old radio communication system has stopped working and presented a $47,000 quote from J&K Communications for a replacement.
Pluimer also presented a $5,600 quote from C-TECH Corp. to install guardrails at the railroad crossing on CR 400 E. He asked whether Montpelier would share the cost; Mayor Brad Neff said he did not have an answer at the meeting.
Hartford City police requested placement of a FLOCK camera on CR 100 N just west of Wabash Avenue on the north side of the road. Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer moved to approve the location provided a new post is installed that does not block driveways or field access points; Commissioner Laura Coons seconded and the motion passed 3–0.
No procurement timeline for the radio system replacement or guardrail installation was provided in the meeting record.
