Commissioners clarify rock purchase and reduce scope for chip‑seal program

Feb 3, 2026

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.
