Commissioners opened bids for mowing Old Town Cemetery in Pe- tersburg, next to the library, and Coleman Cemetery in Monroe Township. Alan Tegmeyer and Tri- ple J Lawn Services submitted bids on both cemeteries. Tegmeyer's bids were $ 88.50 for each mowing of each cemetery. Triple J bid $ 90 for Old Town and $ 80 for Coleman. "I don't see any reason to take these bids under advisement. Just accept the lowest bid," said Com- missioner President Brian Davis. His motion was approved by a 2-0 vote. Commissioner Jeff Nelson vot- ed in agreement with Davis. Com- missioner Ryan Coleman was not at the meeting. Treasurer Marta Query asked the commissioners for their approval to close her office on March 7 so her staff could attend a training session in Indianapolis. "'I don't have a problem with that. Just post it," said Davis. The commissioners voted to ap- point Pike County Jail Commander Brian Maxwell to the Wabash Val- ley Community Corrections Board. They also appointed Ryan Coleman, Jeff Nelson and Kristi Dischinger to the Redevelopment Commission. Tera Loyd, with BLN Engineer- ing Firm, which handles the county's bridge inspections, said there were four bridges BLN thought should be inspected for scour erosion; howev- er, INDOT recommended not doing the inspection. She said BLN told IN- DOT they would accept their ruling. The next commissioners' meeting has been moved from Presidents Day on Monday, Feb. 19 to 8:30 a.m. Tues- day, Feb. 20.
