County updates mowing, spraying and paving operations; contractor testing no-spray technology
Summary
Public-works staff reported progress on bush hogging, praised a recently purchased mower, described contractor 'no-spray map' technology to prevent accidental spraying, and said Rogers Group paving will start in about three weeks.
Public-works staff briefed the commission on routine but material maintenance operations: mowing, spraying and paving across county roads.
Speaker 4 (Eric) said crews began bush hogging and praised a new mower purchased last year. He reported contractor spraying work on many roads and said the contractor is deploying a "no-spray map" and plans a mechanical barrier next year so trucks will not spray listed addresses. Staff acknowledged a recent accidental spray incident affecting corn and said they will work with Brooke to address property impacts.
On paving, Speaker 4 said county crews and a Palmer crew have been productive and that Rogers Group is expected to arrive in roughly three weeks to begin larger paving operations; County Road 27 was highlighted as a currently active site where residents may notice dust and traffic changes.
The commission did not take formal action on contracts or schedule changes during the update; staff asked commissioners to expect increased calls during active paving and maintenance operations.
