Road and Bridge crews patch potholes; county names two assistant foremen in trial arrangement
Summary
Road and Bridge crews are following snow routes to address potholes and limb debris; the county named Justin Jones and Clint Pingle as assistant foremen to supervise on-site operations in a six-month trial.
County Road and Bridge staff reported crews are working a snow-route schedule to find and repair potholes, regravel sections of Old St. Louis Road, run a road grader in gravel areas and use a bucket truck to clear limbs after recent weather.
Jason, a Road and Bridge representative, said crews have been working since yesterday and will continue through the week. He said crews are “going down the snow routes” so every road is checked and potholes are filled as they are found.
The board also announced a staffing change in Road and Bridge: Justin Jones and Clint Pingle have been named to serve as on-site working assistant foremen. County leadership described the staffing approach as a trial to be reviewed in six months; the arrangement keeps the positions as union workers while adding on-site supervisory coverage.
Commissioners said they expect the foremen to be hands-on, supervising daily operations at work sites and improving responsiveness to local road conditions. No formal vote on the staffing approach was recorded in the transcript.
