Supervisor Mercari urges action after residents report Tonyville road damage from construction
Summary
Supervisor Mercari told the board he visited Tonyville after a resident complaint about poor road conditions linked to a construction contractor and said he supports staff taking "whatever actions they need to take" to ensure proper repairs and contractor compliance.
Supervisor Mercari told the Tulare County Board of Supervisors that county staff had investigated a December complaint about severe road damage in Tonyville tied to a construction project and that county staff and agency representatives met to assess the situation. "The contractor seems to not be following on the rules that were set aside," he said, and described the conditions he saw on December 30 as "an absolute disaster." He said he "is in full support of whatever actions they need to take on this contractor to make sure that these roads get fixed properly."
Mercari said the issue was brought to his attention by a resident, Diana Mata, and praised the staff response from RMA and LSID. He urged residents to report problems directly to county staff rather than relying solely on social media.
The board did not record a formal motion or vote on enforcement in the meeting: Mercari framed the remarks as public support for staff to pursue remedies and follow-up actions as appropriate.
