Highway superintendent to pursue NDEE tire grant; county to seek quotes for salt-shed repairs

Joe Anderson, Kearney County highway superintendent, told commissioners July 7 that he will pursue an NDEE Tire Grant to support county work and that the county needs to address its salt shed condition.

Anderson said he will obtain quotes for either replacement or repair of the salt-shed tarp and bring those estimates to a future meeting for board consideration. The minutes record that Anderson will “attain quotes for replacing the tarp on the salt shed for a future meeting.”

The minutes do not specify estimated costs, timelines, or whether grant success is required before repairs proceed. No formal vote or award was recorded; the entry is recorded as direction to staff to return with quotes and pursue the grant application.
