Roads department reports snowstorm operations, materials costs and recordkeeping for potential reimbursement
Summary
The roads supervisor reported crews worked around the clock after a 12-inch snow, logging 389 route miles (778 center-lane miles with return trips), 111 crew hours, 2,750 gallons of fuel, 422 tons of material and material costs of $9,512.42; staff said they documented everything in case of emergency-declaration reimbursement.
The county27s roads supervisor reported on the recent snowstorm response, describing operational efforts, equipment use and costs.
Speaker 6 said crews dealt with about 12 inches of snow, worked around the clock from Friday to Tuesday, and used 14 dump trucks and one grader. The crew count was stated as 27 people (18 on days, 8 on nights), and the supervisor reported driving 389 route miles (and 778 center-lane miles when return trips are included). The total hours worked on the event were reported as 111.
Material and cost figures: the supervisor said roughly 2,750 gallons of fuel were used and 422 tons of snow/ice material were applied. The supervisor provided a material-only cost figure of $9,512.42 for those two items and said staff kept spreadsheets and records so the county could seek reimbursement if an emergency declaration is made.
"We used roughly 2,750 gallons of fuel... 1 of my snow and ice material, we used 422 tons... there's a total of $9,512.42, just the material alone," the supervisor reported.
Commissioners asked that staff maintain detailed brush/load/hour records in case reimbursement is possible; staff confirmed they had been logging these items and would continue to do so.
What happens next: Staff will keep records and, if emergency declarations are issued, pursue reimbursement pursuant to state or federal programs.
