Fiscal Court reviews chip-and-seal quote for gravel roads and approves payment for road-department property
Summary
Roads supervisor reported a contractor quote to chip-and-seal about 5,100 feet of gravel roads; the court approved a motion to pay an outstanding $15,000 invoice for road-department property when state funds arrive.
Ballard County Fiscal Court heard a road-department update that included a contractor quote for chip-and-seal work on roughly 5,100 feet (about one mile) of gravel roads that serve homes. Todd, speaking for road operations, said contractors measured widths and lengths and bid work that would include emulsion and chip application.
Court members discussed local availability of equipment. Todd said distributors and chip-and-seal machinery are operating in nearby Tennessee and that the county’s distributor truck is back in service after seven years of downtime.
Separately, the court reviewed an outstanding $15,000 invoice for property acquired for the road department. Bethany told the court the invoice has been held pending receipt of a state reimbursement payment (an anticipated roughly $280,000 state draw), and the court approved a motion to pay the invoice in full when those funds arrive.
No formal vote to begin the chip-and-seal project was recorded at the meeting; members discussed timing and weather constraints before any procurement step.
