Additional signage sought at intersection

(KNZA)--Additional warning signage is being sought at a Doniphan County intersection.

Doniphan County Attorney Charles Baskins asked the County Commission Monday to consider adding warning signage to 165th Road, at the intersection of K-238 Highway.

Baskins said the additional signage is needed to warn motorists of the approaching intersection due to the large number of wrecks, including several fatality crashes in recent history.

Road Office Manager Lindsay Norris will look into signage and warning devices for the Commission's consideration.

The Commission observed a moment of silence in honor of former Elwood Police Chief Larry Hunsaker. Hunsaker, who also previously served a stint as Doniphan Co Sheriff, died unexpectedly December 11. He was currently serving as a part-time investigator with the Doniphan County Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff Chad Clary updated the Commission on the increase in inmates being housed in the Doniphan County Jail. Inmates were relocated from the Atchison County Jail over the weekend after a small electrical fire. Clary said Doniphan County agreed to house 18 of Atchsion County's 57 inmates.

The Commission voted to solict bids for the replacement of four 2015 John Deere motor graders for the county's road and bridge department. A bid letting was set for December 30.
