The Anderson County Commission met recently and discussed several items. Road and Bridge Supervisor Ethan Licktieg told commissioners that he has viewed a demonstration of a mower-max boom mower. The equipment will have an attachment for tree trimming and mowing areas that are unreachable with current mowers. Also, the handrail at the courthouse gazebo is complete and will be painted and installed soon.
County Clerk Julie Wettstein presented a 2025 budget amendment for the service program for the elderly budget. After a short public hearing, the commission voted to approve the budget amendment. All voted yes.
Also, Rural Fire Coordinator, Cruz Gillespie, reported that the Welda Fire Station would like to add another drain in the bays. Bids were received from two people to remove concrete and insert a drain. But, the bids were not similar so Cruz will be speaking with them to get an updated cost. Cruz also submitted bids for a new one-ton pickup to pull the foam trailer.
