The current starting wage for an employee in the Road Department is $16.49. In 2019 the starting wage will increase to $18.55 per hour and by the fourth year of the contract the starting wage will be $20.27 per hour.

In other business, board members learned their share for materials for two bridge projects will be $80,221. Pawnee, Gage and Johnson counties are cooperating on the bridge match projects. Ace Eaton Metals out of Kearney will provide the materials.

Following a discussion with County Treasurer Cheryl Dahlgren, the Board voted to have the treasurer put the delinquent taxes that have been on the books for two years on the county tax sale roles.
