(KLZA)-- Pawnee County Commissioners heard two requests for the use of ARPA funds when they met Tuesday.

Suzanne Borcher with the Fairview Golf Club asked for $10 thousand to help update the golf club building by making improvements to the restrooms and to add new heating and cooling units. Borcher noted the amount of the request is less than two percent of the County ARPA funding.

Denise Wolseben, Rural Water Manager met with the Board noting that Rural Water would like to use ARPA funds for system improvements. The report indicated the water lines are too small and the system is old and requires frequent repairs.. It was also noted the system cannot take on any new customers. A 2015 study recommended a new elevated storage tank east of Pawnee City and an increase in pipe size and an increase in rates.

Rural Water does not qualify for any state grants.

No action was taken by the Commissioners on either request.

Commissioners approved a bid from MEI to do bridge inspections in Pawnee County at a cost of $8,060 which was more than $5 thousand lower than the other bid received.

Following a public heairng on the One – and – Six Year Road Plan presented by Highway Superintendent Chris Rauner, the Board approved the resolution to adopt the plan.
