Supervisors update on bridge, road and landfill easement work; consider shop design options
Summary
Supervisors reviewed completed water-line work and an easement for the landfill, praised bridge repairs and discussed adding a fourth bay to a proposed shop pad (one supervisor estimated a $40,000 cost to add a bay). No construction appropriation or vote was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Supervisors received several infrastructure updates during the Nov. 18 meeting, including completion of water-line work for the landfill, presentation of a related easement and progress reports on bridge and road projects.
An official (unidentified) reported the water-line work had been completed and that two copies of the easement would be retained (one for the landfill and one for rural water); the auditor's office will hold records. The transcript records that the bridge crew completed center-line markings and limestone placement and that some drivers used the bridge before official opening.
Supervisors also discussed design options for a planned 3-bay shop on a site with good soil. One supervisor suggested adding a fourth bay as an alternate, and a cost estimate was cited in the meeting that "it only cost 40,000 to put a new bay on." The board noted concrete bids have been received but that building costs were "not even in this budget" and that decisions on construction and bidding would follow the county's normal procurement procedures.
On the roads front, staff reported active winter preparations, salt-shed readiness and possible prepositioning of emergency supply containers (Connex) at county properties to improve rural response. No formal votes to appropriate construction funds or to sell county property were recorded in the transcript during this meeting.
