Adair County Fiscal Court April 10, 2007 report

Long meeting productive, but not without controversies, a few surprises. Tater Cave Road waterline easements, Mack Lewis Road closing, and Rescue Squad issues, hottest items. Rep. Ed Whitfield visits. Judge Melton names Greg Thomas as Search and Rescue Coordinator. Randy Brown, J.D. Biggs join Sherry Hutchison to make Ambulance Board functional again. And now, Old Burkesville Loop has been accepted as gift from state to both City of Columbia and Adair County. Mayor Bell says he won't protest if County wants to handle the upkeep.
