Brown County Courthouse

(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission, when they meet Monday, discussed repair of the Road and Bridge Department's oil distributor truck.

The truck has been in the shop for repairs while the county rents a truck for this summer's chip and seal projects.

Road and Bridge Secretary Tami Lehmkuhl met with the commission to discuss repair of the truck. With a current repair bill of nearly $8,900, the shop offered the options of rebuilding or replacing the spray nozzles. The cost of rebuilding the spray nozzles would be just over $1,700, with the cost of replacing them at nearly $5,800.

Following discussion, a motion by Commissioner Rich Lehmkuhl to have the nozzles replaced with new ones was approved on a 2-1 vote. Commissioner Bill Pollock cast the lone dissenting vote.

In other business, the commission on a 2-1 vote approved a request from the Hiawatha Chamber and Visitors Bureau for use of the courthouse square for the annual Maple Leaf Festival on Saturday, September 24—including access to the electricity and courthouse restrooms. Commissioner Pollock cast the dissenting vote.
