Clay County Commissioners approve $109K road striping contract with Sir Line A Lot LLC

Clay County's Board of Commissioners made significant strides in enhancing road safety and updating local regulations during their recent meeting on July 1, 2025. The board approved a contract with Sir Line A Lot LLC for $109,606.19 to stripe all paved county roads, a move aimed at improving visibility and safety for drivers. This initiative is part of a broader county road safety plan, which utilizes state aid and highway safety improvement funds.

Commissioner Baer emphasized the importance of this project, noting that it will cover every paved road in Clay County. The board discussed the longevity of the latex paint used for striping, estimating that maintenance would be required every two to four years. Future plans include coordinating pavement marking with seal coating efforts to ensure efficient use of resources.

In addition to road safety improvements, the board held a public hearing to consider amendments to the Clay County Code regarding Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems. This review was facilitated by recent updates to the county's website, which streamlined the process for making code changes. Environmental services staff presented proposed amendments aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and clarity of the regulations.

The decisions made during this meeting reflect the board's commitment to improving infrastructure and public health in Clay County. As these initiatives move forward, residents can expect safer roads and more effective sewage treatment regulations in the coming years.
