(KMZA)--A group is seeking the improvement of a Nemaha County road.
Five county residents met with the Nemaha County Commission Monday to speak about the condition of Q Road, north of Oneida.
The group said the road is in bad shape and they would like to see it black-topped.
They said the previous county commissioners had intended to pave the road, but had not followed through with that plan.
Commissioners said they will take the group’s comments into consideration when planning future road improvements in the county.
In other business, County Road and Bridge Supervisor Dennis Ronnebaum informed Commissioners that he has hired Kristina Talkington for the position of Road and Bridge Office Assistant. She will begin work February 20th at a salary of $13.18 an hour.
The Commission voted to sign two letters of support that will be submitted to the Kansas Department of Transportation with the final grant application for the proposed new Seneca nutrition center/transit building project. A public hearing was held last week on the grant application, which is due February 16th.
Nick Scott and Susan Bowman with Nemaha County United 4-Youth met with the Commission to discuss the quarterly funding the county gives the group.
They requested an appropriation of $3,875 per quarter for 2018, with an additional appropriation of $819 per quarter if Commissioners would also like to continue sponsoring the mentoring program in Nemaha County schools. Following discussion, the Commission voted to appropriate a total of $4,700 per quarter in 2018 to the Nemaha County United 4 Youth organization.
