The board met with Boston Mutual again and agreed to allow the insurance representative to come back in August during open enrollment to discuss the possibility of offering the supplemental life insurance policy to county employees.
Buddy Dew addressed the board regarding the stop sign in the Rolling Creek area and stated the newly placed stop sign did not alleviate matters and that rumble strips and stripes are needed across the road before someone got hurt. Dew went before the board during the first meeting of April to discuss the dangerous intersection of County roads 344 and 345 where a stop sign was bolted down in the road between the two and created a dangerous situation. Road Manager Terry Starks said the road department would get that done at that intersection.
