The Stevens County Board of Commissioners heard several resolutions and requests come before them during their Feb. 20 regular meeting. County Engineer Todd Larson reported that he was approached by the Chokio-Alberta School District for a letter of support from the county for a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) planning grant. The commissioners provided a letter stating that they are “very excited about working with [Chokio-Alberta Schools] on this endeavor to help ensure our children can get to school safely.” The letter also signaled that the commissioners are willing to lend any support needed for the completion of this plan and any projects identified in the plan, including staff assistance from the highway, sheriff, and other departments as well as any assets the county may have that could be useful and in the end a consideration of funding, if needed. “The health and safety of the children of the Chokio-Alberta School District is our top our priority,” the letter said.
