(KLZA)--Mike and Dan  Brickman met with Pawnee County Commissioners September 24  to discuss road gravel on 718 Road between 616 and  617 Avenue.  

This is a local dirt road and to have it graveled, would require bringing it up to the minimum standards of anew road.  The requirements call for two, ten-foot lanes with three-foot shoulders, totaling 26-feet of road top.  

Engineering fees, possible purchase of right-of-way and structure sizing would be among the things to be considered. 

Pawnee County Highway Superintendent Chris Rauner will meet with engineers and obtain an estimate for the cost of the potential improvements and report back to the Board and the  Brinkman's.  

If the project moves forward, there would need to be a resolution to designate who will pay the costs of the project and for maintenance of the road after it is finished.

In other business Rauner provided lease quotes for a skid steer.  Following discussion, the Board approved a 0ne-year lease of a John Deere Skid loader with Stutheit Implement with a $4-thousand base payment for 200 hours and at the end additional  payment will be according to hours used.
