Road & Bridge: commissioners approve dust-control program, solicit asphalt and patching bids, and authorize summer hires
Summary
The board approved the 2025 county dust-control program, authorized solicitations for cold-mix patching and liquid asphalt for the chip-seal program, and approved advertising to hire up to 10 temporary seasonal Road & Bridge employees. The board also set a public hearing on minimum-maintenance roads for Feb. 24.
Road and Bridge Superintendent (name in record) presented multiple routine but operationally significant items. The board:
- Approved the 2025 county dust-control program and directed the county clerk to publish notice. The program uses the same pricing and brochure approach as last year and includes expanding one additional mile west of town. The per-linear-foot price was noted in the discussion.
- Authorized solicitation of bids for cold-mix patching material and liquid asphalt for the 2025 chip-seal program; funds will be paid from the road and bridge fund.
- Approved advertising to hire up to 10 temporary seasonal employees for summer work.
- Moved to set a public hearing at 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 24, 2025, to address Resolution 2025-944 declaring certain roads in the northeast corner of Coffey County as minimum maintenance roads under K.S.A. 68-5102. The board instructed staff on public-notice requirements.
All motions were approved by voice vote. The superintendent noted storm prep and expected mobilization for potential winter storms in the coming days.
