The Saline County Commission conducted their weekly meeting Tuesday morning and the following matter were discussed.

• Commissioners agreed to reappoint Dr. Charles Allred as Saline County Coroner. A formal resolution will be done next week. A total budget for the coroner for 2016 will be $113,256.
• Approval was given to starting a Mechanic A position for Road and Bridge at grade 15, step 4. A truck position at grade 8, step 4 for Road and Bridge was also approved.
• Christine Ritter and Darrell Wilson were re-appointed as non-lawyer members of the 28th Judicial Court.
• Commissioners approved a right-of-way vacation for property on North 5th, just north of Pleasant Hill Road. The property is owned by Tod Roberg, who told commissioners that he intends to install a gate on the south end of the property due to dumping and other concerns.
• Commissioners were briefed on the upcoming closure of Country Club Road, which will be closed this Thursday and Friday so temporary repairs can be made where railroad tracks intersect with the paved road. The goal is to have the project completed by spring. The property is owned by Union Pacific Railroad.

Next week, County Commissioners will be asked to consider Road and Bridge’s equipment improvement plan. Road and Bridge has already purchased three motor graders at a total cost of $262,000. They are requesting permission to purchase a used front end loader, with 1,000 to 2,000 hours, and a used tire truck with a Back-Pac and Tommy Lift. They also want to purchase a new asphalt oil trailer and mower deck.
