Fulton County approves federal bridge application commitment and sale of removed culvert
Summary
County highway superintendent requested a financial commitment letter for a federal bridge aid application (Bridge 170, Mill Creek) and received approval; commissioners also authorized sale of a removed 60-foot culvert for approximately $750 at scrap price to a local buyer, motions carried unanimously.
John (highway superintendent, S16) briefed the board on winter operations and two highway items: a request for a county financial-commitment letter to support a federal aid application for Bridge 170 (Mill Creek on Thousand West) and a proposed sale of a removed 60-foot culvert.
Commissioners voted to approve the financial-commitment request for the federal bridge application after discussion that the county would begin saving funds for a multi-year match. John said the county previously applied and was turned down but refined the submission. He said saving would give the county an extra year of local match funds if awarded.
On the culvert, John noted the pipe is a 60-foot, 8-foot-diameter section and that the estimated scrap return would be about $750 (approximately 4.41 tons at $170/ton). He asked the board for permission to sell the removed culvert to a local farmer (named in the record as Dave/David Zartman/Zirman); commissioners approved selling the culvert at scrap price to the named buyer, with the motion recorded as carrying 3-0.
Both actions were described as procedural approvals to enable bid advertising and to avoid hauling and storage costs. Commissioners directed staff to proceed with appropriate paperwork.
