(KMZA)--An additional stretch of a Nemaha County, Kansas road will be improved this summer.

The Nemaha County Commission Monday accepted a bid from Bergkamp Construction, of Wichita, to re-do an additional 4 miles of the Sabetha-Wetmore Road or W Road, north U.S. 36, at a cost of $422,400.

The company will grind the current pavement, pour a concrete base and put down a chip and seal surface.

In other business, a group of Nemaha County residents and representatives with the Forbes Law Group came before the board to speak to commissioners about adopting a resolution that would reiterate current Kansas state law concerning the ownership of agricultural land by corporate land owners.  County Attorney Brad Lippert was also present for the discussion.

No decision was made by the Commission.

Sheriff Rich Vernon informed Commissioners one of the new patrol cars recently hit a deer and will have to be repaired.  Vernon said the other new patrol car is now in and is being prepared to be used on the road.

And the Commission approved a quote submitted by Epoxy Coating Specialists for $11,179 to replace the flooring in the new driver’s license office at the Pioneer Building.
