Because of her service to the Kosciusko County Community Foundation, County Commissioner Avis Gunter was surprised with a resolution of appreciation Tuesday during the commissioner's meeting.

Suzie Light, the foundation's executive director, read from the document detailing Gunter's tenure on the board, which ran from September 1992 until this month.

The resolution, signed by all the foundation's board of directors, noted the commissioner was a member of the executive, development, finance, governance, planning and scholarship committees.

The commissioners also:

• Approved changes to the speed limit ordinance as recommended by county road supervisor Dennis Pletcher.

The speed limits on Ferguson Road from CR 300S to 200S will be 45 miles per hour and 35 mph from CR 200S to Ind. 25.

The speed limit on CR 450W from CRs 525S to 625S will be 45 mph, a change from 35 mph.

• Approved USI for bridge inspections.

• Approved a vacation and rededication at Sunrise Beach along Lake Wawasee as requested by Thomas Arnold. The action redraws the right of way to accommodate preexisting buildings.

• Reappointed Angela Pletcher to the Nappanee Public Library board and appointed Margaret Cousins to the Milford Public Library board. Cousins will finish the term of Robert Olsen.

• Opened a number of bids for highway materials - asphalt, limestone, gravel and like. Bids will be awarded at the Nov. 15 meeting.
