Greenwell shared that County Highway 18-Sidell Fairmount Road. They are currently putting down the prime coat over the concrete. The plan is to start paving on Monday. They are also waterproofing the bridge just South of Fairmount. He further stated that the budget is looking good. They have had about $34,000.00 in additional costs at the two intersections that were torn out as they discovered that the soil was soft and they needed to do an undercut on this area as well as some shoulder work on the Catlin-Homer road. Catlin bridge was let about a month ago. It was awarded to Newell Construction. The pre-construction conference and the start date are pending. Should be around the last of August when determined.
• Greenwell indicated that they are going to try to have a letting on the new tandem truck for the Highway Dept. He said they are shooting for August.
