During the Aug. 26, 2025 public comment period, resident Joan Poston thanked the county for recent sidewalk replacements in her neighborhood and raised concerns about a proposed asphalt replacement technique she described as a sand-and-resin topcoat rather than traditional asphalt.

Poston identified her address as in unincorporated Jefferson County near Morrison and Kipling Parkway and said she has mobility challenges following cancer treatment. She asked for follow-up on the promised asphalt replacement and for clarification about the resurfacing technique. The board offered to have the county’s public-affairs director connect her with the Road and Bridge Department for follow-up.

Poston also urged recognition of National Dog Day, expressed support for the Foothills Animal Shelter and reminded the board to publicize the national suicide hotline number (988). Commissioners thanked her and suggested she share her email with the public-affairs director for a staff response on the asphalt question.

The comments were part of the allotted public-comment time; no formal board action was taken on the issues raised during the meeting. Staff offered to follow up with the resident about the asphalt timeline and technical approach.
