The Mitchell County Commissioners conducted their regular business meeting yesterday morning. The meeting was called to order promptly at 8:30 a.m. with all commissioners and the county clerk in attendance. The Commissioners worked with a brief agenda of items but then devoted considerable time to interviewing candidates for the Emergency Management Directorposition recently vacated by the resignation of Scott Davies.

 

Larry Emerson, Public Works Superintendent, presented his weekly report to the Commissioners. Emerson has received communication from those overseeing the grant for possible improvements in the cable and post guardrail project. Representatives will be visiting the causeway area to get a firsthand look at the area in need of repair.

Emerson reported that the road seal has been completed north of Solomon Rapids. The crews will now seal the overlay on west Main and then move to the Tipton blacktop. He hopes to complete the sealing so that the crews can begin mowing the roadways next week.

A going away reception will be held for two recently retired employees. The reception will honor the many years of devoted service to Mitchell County by Jerry Millholland and Kent Melton.

Kathy Webster, representing Pawnee Mental Health, addressed the Commissioners about the month of September being National Recovery Month. The Commissioners signed a proclamation which said, in part, “Mitchell County calls on its citizens to recognize the importance of recovery, and to commit our community to increasing awareness and understanding of substance use and mental disorders and the need for appropriate and accessible services to all people.”

A Neighborhood Revitalization grant was approved for Jerrod Baxa in the amount of fifteen thousand dollars.

At this point the Commissioners adjourned the business meeting to devote time to interviewing candidates for the Emergency Management Director’s position.
