Committee amends 2024 budget to buy asphalt hot-box trailer with ARPA funds
Summary
Chautauqua County will add a third asphalt hot-box trailer — at Sheridan — paid from ARPA funds to give three maintenance locations (Sheridan, Sherman and Faulkner) hot‑box access for pothole and winter repairs, the Public Facilities Committee approved.
Chautauqua County’s Public Facilities Committee voted to amend the 2024 budget and use ARPA funds to purchase an additional asphalt hot‑box trailer to serve the Sheridan maintenance location.
Tim Carr, director of public facilities, told the committee the new hot‑box will provide equipment at Sheridan and Sherman in addition to the existing hot‑box truck at Faulkner, allowing crews to respond more quickly to potholes and winter repairs. "That's gonna give us the opportunity even on days like today... we can do that in the springtime," Carr said.
Committee members expressed support; a voice vote approved the resolution. The transcript does not provide a roll-call tally. The county will place hot‑box equipment at the three sites and proceed with procurement under the amended budget.
Next steps: procurement through Public Facilities and placement at Sheridan when received.
