During the 9 a.m. meeting at the county courthouse in Newton, Commissioners Terry Scott, Don Schroeder and Becky Reimer are set to review two batches of warrant checks totaling $231,971 for recent county expenses. The proposed payouts include $23,323 to MKEC Engineering for professional road and bridge services, $6,936 to Diamond Drugs for detention center medications and $4,859 to Central Power Systems for a generator communication box replacement.
In addition to financial approvals, the board will review regular departmental reports detailing recent county operations. The Road and Bridge Department's weekly update highlights the completion of deck repairs to a bridge on South Golden Prairie Road and the hauling of nearly 1,100 tons of dirt to the county yard. The department is also preparing to host a statewide local transportation training course on snow and ice control on Oct. 6.
Additionally, the commission will receive an informational update on the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce's 105th annual banquet, which is slated for Oct. 29 at the Meridian Center with entrepreneur Gary Schoeniger set to deliver the keynote address.
