MOUND CITY — A rural Centerville resident asked the Linn County Commission Monday to make good on a previous commission pledge to replace road signs in his area. During public comment, Fred Kautt said it had been nearly two years since he presented the commission with pictures showing the condition of Centerville street signs. Now signs are in extremely bad condition, he said — some are no longer up at all, and others are not readable. He asked commissioners to place the issue on an agenda because a lack of signs could be a serious concern in an emergency. They agreed to put it on the Jan. 25 agenda. Commissioner Mike Page said there are other unincorporated communities that either do not have road signs or have signs that cannot be read. In other business, the commissioners Monday: Approved moving next week’s meeting to Tuesday because the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is Monday.
