The Kosciusko County Commissioners approved an additional appropriation not to exceed $145,000 to pay a trio of firms: Jones Petry Rafinski, South Bend, for engineering; Ice Miller, Indianapolis for legal; and Umbaugh and Associates, Mishawaka, for financial services in the project. The commissioners asked county attorney Chad Miner to draw up the necessary ordinance for the appropriation at its March 6 meeting, and Miner presented the ordinance this morning.
The move allows the firms to move forward with the planning stages of the district.
Scott Tilden, county highway superintendent, asked for and received permission to fund engineering studies for a pair of bridge replacements. One is on CR 800W over Robinson Ditch, not far from Hoffman Lake, at a cost not to exceed $99,430. The other project is on Bruner Road, south of Ind. 25, and is not to exceed $58,540.
Both projects will seek to alleviate flooding issues experienced in those places in the last year. Neither project will break ground before the beginning of the 2019 construction season.

Tilden also had two temporary street closures approved.
The first will be for a 5K and 10K road race from 6 to 8 p.m. May 18. That race will be sponsored by Tippy Creek Winery, and have a charitable component to it. The closing will be from the intersection of CR 200E and Armstrong Road east to CR 300E, then north to 700E, west to CR 200E and then south back to Armstrong.
The other closure will be for the Fat and Skinny Tire Show on May 19. The county will close County Farm Road from CR 300S to CR 700S during the circuit road races in the afternoon.
County Administrator Marsha McSherry received approval to spend $14,556 to replace worn flooring in eight rooms of the health department office in the old courthouse.
Commissioners also approved re-establishment of the cumulative capital development ordinance at the same rate as last year.
The next Kosciusko County Commissioners meeting will be at 9 a.m. April 3 in the old county courthouse, Warsaw.
