Commissioners approve chip seal and asphalt resurfacing projects; county notes multiple grants and a large LR payment contract
Summary
The board authorized county-managed chip seal and municipal asphalt resurfacing projects, discussed available grants and noted a large LR payment contract; a separate LR contract decision was deferred for later action.
Fannin County commissioners voted to proceed with planned chip-seal projects and county-led asphalt resurfacing work after a presentation by Public Works staff.
The projects discussed included chip-seal work on multiple roads (War Hignon Creek, Macedonian Church Road, Tipton Trail, Lofty Heights, Hadley Valley Lane and others) and an asphalt resurfacing package that included Caldwell Road and New Hope Road. A Local Maintenance and Improvement (LMI) grant was referenced for a portion of the work; the transcript includes a figure read as "$72,562.06" for one grant and a required 30% county match. Public Works also reported a $965,805.72 LR payment contract on the agenda; staff said a decision on that contract would be made later.
Commissioners made motions to proceed with the chip-seal projects using SPLOST dollars and to move forward with the municipal asphalt resurfacing program. Both motions were seconded and carried on voice votes.
Staff said they will return with more detailed numbers and payment schedules for the grants and the large LR contract so the board can determine exact funding sources and matches. No roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript; motions were carried by voice vote.
