Owsley County approves speed-control posting in Bunzl House subdivision, to advertise bids for gravel and paving
Summary
Officials authorized posting a speed limit and potential speed-control measures on a county road in the Bunzl House subdivision, and voted to advertise for gravel, pipe, fuel and blacktop contracts; officials also updated residents on road repairs and pending FEMA work.
Owsley County officials approved a motion to post a speed limit and consider speed-control measures on a county road in the Bunzl House subdivision after multiple resident complaints about speeding and children at play.
The meeting record shows the presenter said any posted speed-control device on a county road must be posted on both sides; the motion to proceed was put to a voice vote and recorded as carried in the transcript. Officials described the affected area as a subdivision road where residents had called to request signs and traffic-calming measures.
County officials also said it is time to advertise for gravel, pipe, fuel and blacktop; the meeting record indicates those procurements will be advertised in the local paper in about two weeks with openings at the next meeting. A motion to publish these advertisements was made by Allen (meeting participant) and seconded by Jackson (meeting participant) and recorded as carried.
Public-works updates included mowing activity, continued pothole and blacktop work (about 70 tons of blacktop remain to be placed, per the presenter), and acknowledgement of crews working on road maintenance. Officials reported ongoing FEMA-related repairs from a February flood and said they had not yet received full authorization from FEMA; the presenter estimated two repair sites could total about $140,000 pending FEMA approval.
No formal timeline for FEMA reimbursement or final contract awards was recorded in the meeting transcript.
