County tables decision on road supervisor position

By Greg Bebermeyer

(KNZA)--A decision on whether the Doniphan County road supervisor position is eliminated and the county returns to having a road foreman in each of the county’s three districts will have to wait.

County Commission Chairman Tad Geiger decided this week to table a decision until their June 18th meeting after Commissioner Jerry McKernan indicated he wanted further discussion.

Geiger first brought up discussion on the possible restructuring of the road department management at last week’s meeting.

The road supervisor position, which is currently held by Bob Edie ( E-dee), was created in 2013. At that time, the road department was restructured to act as a county unit with the road supervisor overseeing all operations of the three road districts.

Following an executive session at this week’s meeting, the Commission voted 2-1 to hire Daniel Whetstine, full-time with benefits, for the Second District road crew subject to pre-employment screening. Commissioner McKernan cast the lone no vote.
