Supervisors make five new commissioner appointments
The Appanoose County Board of Supervisors appointed five new commissioners to assess damages in eminent domain. And all five are women.
Patty Lind, Cindy Latimer and Renate Deininger, all of Centerville and Margaret Wells, of Plano and Marilyn Koehler, of Udell, join 23 other realtors, city or town property owners, farmers and bankers. The decision to add five women was to bring more gender equity to the group, Supervisor Linda Rouse said.
"That was a new law that was passed this year," Rouse said. "We have to be aware, or sensitive to gender balance."
In other action, the supervisors voted 3-0 to award the contract to supply fuel during fiscal year 2010 to Agriland FS Inc. They outbid MFA Oil to supply diesel, biodiesel and gasohol for the secondary road department.
The supervisors voted 3-0 to approve a fireworks permit for Exline Community Betterment for July 4 and to abate $698 to Kenneth Duane and Tonya Marie Brown, of Mystic, because they were double assessed on their property and to abate the state from taxation for property they purchased from Richard Oil Company at the corner of Highway 2 and 5. Auditor Linda Demry said the state, which is exempt from taxation, should have been taken off the tax rolls when they purchased the property.
