The Columbia-Adair County Utilities District Board of Commissioners took steps at its July 12, 2018 regular second-Thursday meeting to move ahead with plans for a new office/storage building. Commissioner Mike Newton introduced the idea, saying that he was made aware of possible grant money for the project. Commissioner Doug Sapp supported the idea with a motion authorizing Mr. Newton 1) to explore and report back on the grants, and that 2) Mr. Newton provide ideas for savings on construction costs, evaluating grant money, with the accompanying restrictions, or using other financing. The building, as in previous plans, would be on a lot the utility owns in Holladay Place, near the Raider Bob million gallon storage tank.The proposal was unanimously approved. Above, around the table clockwise, are Chairman Wid Harris, Commissioner Doug Sapp, Commissioner Junior Brown, Jeff Wooldridge, General Manager Lenny Stone, Commissioner Mike Newton, and Vice Chairman David Jones. At left, seated, is Adair County Sheriff Harrison Moss. Also present were Board Attorney Marshall Loy, not shown, and members of the local media. CJE Mike Stephens joined the group later.
