Rod Meredith, public works, reported on the effects of the snow storm which hit over the Christmas holidays. The county received from 8 to 12 inches of snow resulting in high drifts, sometimes higher than a dump truck. Employees were out for three days solid attempting to get the roads cleared. He noted the cost of the clean up will be high since staff can receive up to two and a half times their regular salary to work on official holidays.
County Counselor Clancy Holeman said the lease agreement for the RCPD substation in Aggieville will remain the same in 2010.
