County to resurface additional road The Clarke County Commission approved Tuesday resurfacing .36 miles of Harvest Road at the same time that crews are currently resurfacing the Chilton Road (County Road 17). The CR 17 project is funded with federal money. The Harvest Road resurfacing will cost the county up to $25,000. "It needs some attention," said County Engineer Sam Noble, "and while we had the contractor right there on the spot, it would be a good time to try and catch that." In other action from Tuesday's meeting, the commission approved the moving of two mobile homes from the county right-ofway on Rosewood Drive. The right-of-way was acquired for the maintenance of the road, said County Engineer Sam Noble. The county will pay Mobile Home Brokers of Grove Hill up to $7,000 to move the structures. • An application was approved for a Community Development Block Grant to fund a sewer extension in Fulton. • The county will renew a line of credit for 90 days with First United Security Bank awaiting reimbursement from EDA (Economic Development Administration). The loan was originally sought in 2006 to pay for work done at the Louisiana Pacific site at the North Clarke Industrial Park. The county will pay $22,000 in interest, said County Attorney Bruce Wilson. The loan will be renewed at $812,683.97. "All of that will be reimbursed," he said. • Permanent status was approved for John Ball, a booking officer at the Clarke County Jail. • The county approved filling a part time position at E-911. • A 15-year non-exclusive franchise agreement was made with Mediacom cable TV company to serve county areas outside municipal limits. • The commission approved the sheriff filling a deputy position. The position is open due to the termination of Jim Mundie. • A bid of $8,400 from The Thomasville Times was approved for printing the county voting list. • A resolution was approved supporting the U.S. Air Force contract with Northrop Grumman/ EADS North America for building tanker planes in Mobile. Boeing Co. is appealing the decision to name Northrop and EADS North America to build a fleet of aerial refueling tankers. The decision could bring an aircraft assembly plant to Mobile.
• The county courthouse will be closed April 28 because of Confederate Memorial Day.
