Committee approves resolution to provide up to $15,000 per bridge for engineering and right-of-way costs for two Wayne structures
Summary
The committee approved a resolution to authorize up to $15,000 per structure to cover engineering/right-of-way costs associated with two bridge projects in the Town of Wayne after the state covered the construction costs.
The Highway Committee approved a resolution to provide funding assistance for engineering or right-of-way costs related to two bridges in the Town of Wayne.
Staff explained the town received near-100% state funding for the bridge construction itself, but the state program does not cover all ancillary costs such as engineering and potential right-of-way work. The Town of Wayne requested up to $15,000 for each structure to cover those additional expenses; staff said the actual cost may be lower but the town asked for a cushion to address unknown right-of-way or engineering needs.
Supervisor Vespalik moved the resolution; Supervisor Hartwig seconded. The committee chair called for a vote and the motion carried: the chair said "All approved, say aye." No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the chair announced, "Any opposed? No opposed motion carries." Staff said the county did not require additional funding beyond the request and noted the state program had covered the bulk of construction costs.
Staff characterized the state bridge-aid program as valuable and said several other municipalities have benefited from it. The resolution was adopted on voice vote with no recorded nay votes in the meeting record.
