(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission is considering elimination of the county road supervisor position.

Commissioner Thad Geiger opened the discussion at Tuesday meeting of returning management of the road department to a road foreman in each of the three county road districts.

Commissioner Jerry McKernan concurred, saying he did not think the road supervisor's position, currently held by Bob Edie, has worked out as intended when implemented in 2013.

At that time, the road department was restructured to act as a county unit with the road supervisor overseeing all operations of the three road districts.

McKernan said the second and third districts have had no oversight by the road supervisor.

Commissioner Tim Collins said having a road supervisor can be benefit to the county, however the supervisor is only as good as the backing from the Commission.

Action was tabled until next week's meeting.
