Rogers County to stripe 1 mile for neighboring Mays County at 15¢ per linear foot amid commissioner debate
Summary
Commissioners approved a one‑time request for Rogers County striping crew to paint one mile of road in Mays County at 15¢ per linear foot, with the expectation of reciprocal help on hauling and equipment; some commissioners expressed concern the rate did not account for equipment depreciation.
The Rogers County Board of Commissioners approved a one‑time arrangement for the county striping crew to paint one mile of roadway in neighboring Mays County at a rate of 15¢ per linear foot. The work is expected to be completed in a single day once the road is marked.
Commissioner discussion acknowledged past mutual aid between counties — including assistance during last year’s tornado response — and the expectation that Mays County will reciprocate by providing dump trucks and other equipment to support Rogers County projects. Commissioner Hendricks and others raised concerns that the 15¢ rate may not fully account for wear‑and‑tear and depreciation on the county’s striping equipment; Hendricks referenced a commercial bid of 26¢ per linear foot as a comparison. Other commissioners said the request was a small, neighborly favor and supported approving the reduced rate for this limited, one‑time project.
A motion to approve the striping arrangement carried. Commissioners said they will consider a higher rate for similar future requests and emphasized that the agreement is contingent on reciprocal equipment assistance from Mays County.
