4. Highway Department Investments: Branum reported that currently Secretary Bev Seamon handles investments at the Highway Department, but County Engineer Boehler feels that it should not be the responsibility of the Highway Department to invest funds as this is very time consuming, and the committee has agreed that investments should be done through the Treasurer’s office. Engineer Boehler and Treasurer Jenkins are working together to assure invested monies will be available for paying suppliers and contractors as needed.
5. March Meeting Date Change: Branum reported that the meeting date for March was going to be changed to February 28th, 2007, but due to a conflict in scheduling the committee meeting will instead be held on its regular date of Wednesday, March 7th, 2007 at 8:30 AM at the Highway Department.

7. Resolution #13-07, A Resolution to Discontinue Seasonal Weight Limits: Branum deferred to Engineer Boehler who stated that he would like to have the board’s approval to pass a resolution that would discontinue seasonal weight limits on county roads. Boehler reported that currently the seasonal weight restriction is from January 15th thru April 15th each year, when county managed roads are currently restricted to 30,000 pounds gross weight equal to 15 tons, and is unnecessary because there has not been a problem with overloaded vehicles. Boehler stated that should this weight restriction be lifted, traffic patterns should not change since trucks exceeding the limit are already using the highways, and assured members that Resolution #13-07 is a blanket resolution that would only affect county roads and not township roads. Board member Deabenderfer inquired if there would be any future problems with weight of vehicles on the roads with the possibility of an Ethanol Plant coming to Montgomery County and more movement of trucks, and Boehler stated that this wouldn’t be a problem as the roads are currently 73,280 pound roads. Motion by Branum, second by Aumann to approve a resolution to discontinue seasonal weight limits on county roads. All in favor, motion carried.
8. TARP Funds: Engineer Boehler stated that he had received a letter from the State regarding TARP funds. The State has allowed funds for the Farmersville Overpass project in the amount of $88,200, but no funds are available this year for Mt. Olive Trail or for the road from Nokomis to Fillmore. Boehler stated that Montgomery County was one of six counties in the fifteen county district that received TARP funds.
