Kim Wertz provided public comment and asked about board action item #3,
Notice to Proceed to C.S. Davidson for NBIS inspection of Franklin County Bridges. Her
question was how many times in a 10 year period does the County inspect bridges? Ms.
Wertz also asked about board action item #5, agreement with Adams County, and
whether the farm is in both counties?
The minutes of the March 8, 2016 and March 10, 2016 meetings were reviewed.
These will be approved Thursday, March 17, 2016.
The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. Chairman Keller
asked John Hart, County Administrator, to answer Ms. Wertz's questions from public
comment. Mr. Hart explained that bridges are inspected every 2 years except for a few
bridges due to structural confines which get inspected every year. Mr. Hart explained
item #5 is for an individual farmer that is trying to prepare an Agricultural Preservation
plan. He said the State has a tremendous backlog so there is an extensive amount of
time to get the farm in the Ag. Preservation plan. Adams County has the capabilities in
their office to do the plan for the farmer to be in the Ag. Preservation plan. The following
item was approved today while the remaining items will be approved Thursday, March
17, 2016.
The Board reviewed Commissioners Office matters. On a motion by Robert G.
