Commission talks updates on county roads
The Marion County Board of Commissioner met for their weekly meeting on Monday. The highlight of the meeting was hearing an update on progress being made on getting rock distributed out to roads in serious need of it.
Brice Goebel, County Engineer gave the update to the commissioners.
Goebel expressed gratitude to everyone who reached out to him the past week to express condolences on his mother dying.
“I appreciate that and it goes a long way. It’s never a good thing, but obviously she is in a better place,” said Goebel
Goebel asked for vacation extension days on a staff member who has been unable to use any time-off due to needing to be available for work. The commission voted on a 90 day extension for the employee to use his vacation time.
County commission approves bait shop
The Marion County Board of Commissioners met on Monday where they heard from Isaac Hett, Park and Lake Superintendent, who brought a budget proposal for the bait shop that was proposed last week.
“All of the outlets and the wiring in the wall are fine. The problems are in the ceiling and we may need new wiring for the lights in the office. It sounds like there was a bunch of extra wiring in the ceiling,” said Hett.
Hett said he believed they would need about $1,000 for groceries.
After checking with local bait shops, Hett found that most people seem to get their bait supplies from a bait shop called Bill’s Outdoor Sports in McPherson. Hett called the shop and discovered that they can deliver orders every Tuesday when they are already in the area.
