In other business, County Clerk Melissa Gormley presented two bids received to re-seed the lawn on the south side of the courthouse which was torn up earlier this year due to sewer work.

Gormley also introduced to Commissioners new payroll clerk Betty Brennan.. Brennan, of Hiawatha, began work Monday in the county clerk’s office.
