Public works: animal-control facility planning continues; Forest Grove road work paused for water-main repair
Summary
Public works reported continued planning for a new animal-control facility and said construction on Forest Grove Road encountered an unexpected water main; road repair will proceed while full fixes follow coordination with partner agencies.
Public works officials told the Stevenson County Board they are continuing methodical planning and funding searches for a potential new animal-control facility and reported a surprise utility discovery during recent roadwork on Forest Grove Road.
Mr. Madero, reporting for public works, said the animal-control facility planning is ongoing and that staff are looking at funding options, including grant searches. He described the project as not ready for immediate action but under active study.
Regarding Forest Grove Road, Madero said crews found a water main while preparing the site. The county will fix the road surface in the short term and coordinate with other agencies to complete full repairs at a later date. “By working and coordinating with numerous other agencies, we’re gonna fix the road and the other repairs are gonna come later,” he said, adding the situation shows the department’s practice of coordinating partners to address unexpected issues.
The transcript does not provide a timeline for the animal-control facility, grant amounts, or the full schedule for Forest Grove repairs.
