County engineer outlines road projects, equipment maintenance and pavement work

JD, identified in the transcript as the county engineer, gave the board a routine engineering update covering several active and planned projects. He said the county will rehabilitate a crossroad pipe at five locations on J 20 and M 70 and that those roads will have flagging but will not be closed. He also described equipment maintenance: a tractor scheduled for 2,200-hour service, a motor gutter at 2,000 hours service, and oil-tank cleaning for the season. "All the signs should be up by October by the end of October," JD said of newly approved 55 mph signs.
