Work begins Tuesday to remove dying courthouse tree

Nuckolls County Board

The Nuckolls County Board of Commissioners met at the county courthouse in Nelson Monday.

The board approved claims.

Jim Bolte, county road department foreman, reported work was completed on the installation of three culverts located west of CR 3300. The state will be shipping new stop signs and poles, at no cost to the county, soon. The department is putting together the one and six year highway plan.

There will be no tire recycling event this year. The road department was unable to secure a grant to recoup the cost.

The board entered executive sessions to perform annual personnel evaluations of the executive secretary and foreman of the county road department.

The board approved pledged securities submitted by Tami Sharp, county treasurer.

A large tree outside the north entrance to the courthouse was removed Tuesday. The tree was afflicted with a fungus that was untreatable. It is hoped the removal will stem or slow the spread of the disease to other trees on the campus.

The courthouse is open for regular business hours today (Thursday) after being closed Wednesday to observe the Juneteenth holiday.

The board will meet at 8:30 a.m., Monday, at the courthouse.
