County residents press for Labette Road district work
County commissioners faced protests from 19 households along Labette Terrace and parts of Nebraska Road southeast of Ottawa. The group formed a road improvement district with a funding pool awaiting chip and seal paving promised by the county, which has yet to occur as bids are planned with other chip and seal projects. In related actions, commissioners approved up to seven thousand five hundred dollars more for Aquaterra to redesign the county landfill expansion to meet state change orders.
