(KNZA)--Brown County is preparing for this summer's chip and seal road projects.
The Brown County Commission, during their regular meeting last week, accepted the low bid submitted by Vance Brothers, of Kansas City, Missouri, for the purchase of an estimated 500,000 gallons of RS-IH Plus road oil for $2.29 a gallon. It was among three bids received.
In other business, County Solid Waste Director Heather Merrill informed commissioners that Hamm's, which transports and disposes of solid waste from the county transfer station, has increased their price from $40.29 a ton to $41.50 a ton. Merrill would like to raise prices at the county landfill to offset the increase. Brown County Clerk Dawn Boyles will have County Attorney Kevin Hill review the contract with Hamm's.
Vintage Park of Hiawatha Director Heather Williams met with commissioners to present three project requests for ARPA funding consideration.
Later in the meeting, the commission voted to cease taking any further ARPA requests
