Public Works presented a status report on county road projects, staffing, training and safety, and maintenance. The department said it is recruiting for an administrative assistant and listed open work orders: 15 open for unpaved roads, 37 for paved roads, 15 for signs and six for parks. Fleet and routine maintenance showed approximately 73 open work orders.
Commissioners publicly commended county crews for stepping in to resolve a berm/bar-ditch issue inside city limits after the city lacked resources, citing constituent calls praising the countys response.
No motions or funding requests resulted from the report; the item was presented as an informational status update.
