Commissioners approve final pay applications for Chinworth trail; usage shown in Strava heat map
Summary
Parks staff presented pay applications for the Chinworth trail project, saying the new section is already being used (Strava heat‑map), and the board approved the payments, which staff said may represent final retainage releases.
Rob Bishop, representing the Parks and Board, requested approval of additional pay applications related to the Chinworth trail project and said the listed items include a $34.65 charge for barricades that were reinstalled to prevent unauthorized driving on the path. Bishop said staff and Highway Department personnel inspected the trail and that the section shows increased use on cycling activity maps (Strava heat‑map).
Commissioners discussed whether these would be the final pay applications and, after confirmation from staff (including Highway Department agreement), they approved payment. Commissioners characterized the payments as likely final release of retainage for the project.
Why it matters: The action completes a local capital project and reflects usage data being used to document public benefit. The county will process the pay applications and close out the project according to standard procedures.
Next steps: Staff will finalize payment processing and close project files if these prove to be final pay applications.
