Commission reviews state boat-ramp agreement that would shift routine maintenance to Jackson County
Summary
Jackson County commissioners reviewed a revised maintenance and security agreement with the state conservation agency for several boat ramps, including a proposed new ramp at Mud Creek, and raised concerns that the county would assume routine maintenance costs without regular reimbursement or a unilateral withdrawal right.
Jackson County commissioners reviewed a proposed maintenance and security agreement with the state conservation agency that would cover existing landing facilities and a new boat ramp at Mud Creek, and several commissioners urged changes before the county signs the contract.
The draft agreement, submitted by the state fisheries development coordinator, would fund construction of a new Mud Creek North boat ramp but allocate routine, day-to-day maintenance responsibilities to the county while capping the state’s contribution for non-routine repairs at $50,000 per access area per calendar year. Chairman Nance provided the document to the commission and asked members to review it and submit comments before the next meetings.
