Commissioners clarify rock purchase and reduce scope for chip‑seal program
Summary
Commissioners were told the county arranged to buy a smaller, high‑quality load of Martin Marietta half‑inch dry chip to stock while scaling back next year’s chip‑seal program; staff will confirm exact tonnage and coordinate haul timing with Road & Bridge.
Commissioners asked staff about a recent load of half‑inch dry chip from Martin Marietta and whether the county would receive more shipments. Staff explained the county had previously committed to buy an amount of rock but scaled back the chip‑seal program for the coming year; to avoid breaching the supplier relationship they agreed to take a smaller amount that had already been run and put it into county stockpiles.
Staff said the material is good quality and that they would confirm the exact tonnage and provide an update to commissioners (including contacting John, who is tracking hauling). Commissioners accepted that approach and asked staff to follow up with the Road & Bridge director to confirm where material will be stored and when additional hauling will occur.
No formal action or vote was taken on the rock procurement; staff will report back with tonnage figures and logistics.
