(KNZA)--A new Doniphan County road foreman has been hired.
Following an executive session Monday, the Doniphan County Commission voted to hire Sean Price to fill the vacant position of 1st District road foreman subject to a 90-day probationary period.
Price will be paid a starting salary of $40,000, with the salary to increase to $42,080 upon completion of the probationary period with satisfactory review.
Discussion was held on courthouse security, with the Commission agreeing to meet with county Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng and Sheriff Chad Clay on September 4 to review current emergency operation plans for the courthouse.
County residents Charlie and Pat Meers met with the Commission to inquire as to action taken on the cleanup of dilapidated properties in Blair and repair of 190th Road.
Commission Chairman Tad Gieger said Northeast Kansas Environmental Services, the Doniphan County Zoning Department and Doniphan County Economic Development are working to develop a notification system and policy for cleanup of properties throughout the county.
In addition, Geiger said he and 2nd District road foreman Danny Adkins met to view 190th Road. He said the ditches will be cleaned out to prevent washing across the roadway and the road patched following completion of major summer projects.
