(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission sent large portion of their meeting this week discussing a proposed road improvement project but did not make a decision.
Citing safety concerns ,Commission Chairman Bill Pollock wants to see a half-mile portion of Goldfinch Road widen between 260th and 270th Roads. He proposed a 3-foot shoulder be added to the west side of the road.
County resident Keith Grimm, who lives along the road, attended the commission's September 18 meeting to request the section of road be widen, and offered to help with the project.
Pollock made a motion at Monday's meeting to proceed with project, using a cross sectional view of the roadway as a guide, and under the supervision of the district road foreman. However, the motion died due to the lack of a second.
Citing liability concerns, fellow commissioners Rich Lehmkuhl and Lamar Shoemaker indicated they would like an engineer to check out the road first and give a recommendation before making a decision.
