Public Works asks board to execute annual county‑forces notification and outlines summer projects
Summary
Public Works requested adoption of the annual county‑forces construction notification required by state law and previewed 2026 road and water projects including shoulder work, chip sealing and upcoming bids for Goodridge Cove waterline and Russell Wood sewer design.
Public Works (speaker 9) asked the commission to execute the annual county forces construction notification required under state law and provided a summary of road, drainage and utility projects planned for 2026.
The presenter reviewed 2025 county forces work (Ellis Road, Gates Road, Tommy Blacksmith and Shetland Road gravel conversions) and described planned work this summer including Kocallum Road shoulder widening (an HSIP safety project), shoulder and drainage prep on Fadal Pass before summer paving, and chip sealing on several local roads. Public Works said it will soon advertise bids for the Goodridge Cove waterline replacement and is designing the Russell Wood sewer replacement.
Commissioners praised county crews for in‑house planning and execution and asked Public Works to confirm that a new streetlight at the Union store intersection is operational; staff said PD reported the light is up and they will double‑confirm in the field.
The board did not record a formal roll‑call vote on the notification during the briefing; staff requested the board execute the required annual notification and will place any required paperwork on a future agenda for formal action as necessary.
