(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Road and Bridge Department will be getting a new motor grader.
The County Commission Monday approved the purchase of a Caterpillar 140MC AWD motor grader from Foley Equipment, of Topeka, for a final price of $113,316.
In other business, the Commission received two 2018 budget requests.
Representatives of the Nemaha County Conservation District requested $35,000 for 2018, which is a $2,600 increase over what they were allocated this year. It’s the first funding increase request in 12 years.
A representative with Wamego-based Three Rivers Inc. requested $18,000 from the county for 2018, which is the same amount the organization received this year.
The Commission will consider the requests when drafting the 2018 county budget.
And at the request of Rural Development Association of Northeast Kansas Director Nancy Gafford, the Commission adopted a resolution to approve the county’s participation in the renewed Wetmore Neighborhood Revitalization Plan.
