Marshall County Council to Meet Tonight

The Marshall County Council will meet tonight with a full agenda.

The personnel committee is expected to have updates on position descriptions for several different county entities while EMA Director Clyde Avery will present a grant request for the annual performance grant. Clerk Deb VanDeMark will request a waiver of the probationary pay for one of her staff members and several abatement requests will be on the table for council discussion.

While it is not listed on the council’s advance agenda, Commissioner Kurt Garner said during the regular business portion of last week’s commissioner’s meeting that he may visit the council tonight to request funding for the amendment to the highway department’s plan. The amendment was approved by a 2-1 commissioner’s vote which includes paving this year’s reclaimed roads with last year’s reclaimed roads which will cost approximately $2.4 million. This would be funded in part with the state’s Community Crossings Grant which is a 50/50 split with the county.

The council will meet in a rare evening session tonight at 6 p.m. in the second floor meeting room in the Marshall County Building.
