(KNZA)--An improvement project is planned at the Brown County Courthouse.

The Brown County Commission Monday accepted a proposal from Brad Rosenberger with J & B Contractors, of Hiawatha, to fix the stairs and add a 75-foot ramp on the north side of the courthouse at a total cost of $11,735.   

As part of the project, he will also remove and replace 330 square-feet of sidewalk.

Rosenberger hopes to begin the project in two weeks.

In other business, the Commission accepted a bid from Terracon to perform  geo-technical services for a bridge replacement project on the Brown-Nemaha County line, northeast of Wetmore, at a cost of $9,800.  It was among three bids received.

The Commission also approved an utility agreement for the project.

In addition, the Commission discussed a request received last week from the Brown County Humane Society for a donation.  No action was taken.
