County board hears from road supervisors

YORK – The most recent meeting of the York County Commissioners marked the first since Harvey Keim resigned his position as highway superintendent and the new supervisors for the roads department made their report.

​Ashley Rasmussen and Greg Heine explained how all the mapping is done with a brand new program being utilized by the roads department.
Rasmussen also noted how the county has four shredders which are used to trim ditches before the snow flies. However, two are down. She said they will continue moving forward, getting the bus routes ready first.
They also said they have been going around, looking at right-of-way issues and they will send out letters when maybe there is some encroachment happening.
They also said they would be wrapping up gravel work in the next few weeks as winter prep work is underway.
Also during this past week’s meeting of the county board:

• A public hearing was held to mark the end of the Four Corners Health Department’s major renovation project. As explained by Andrew Allen of the Southeast Nebraska Development District, $780,000 from the state passed through the county to help pay for this project. The commissioners also noted how Four Corners would be holding an open house from 3-5 p.m., on Nov. 13, with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 4 p.m.
• The board went into executive session to discuss applications for general assistance.
