Summary

At the March 9 meeting, resident John Atten urged the Board to move the allowable end blading date from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1 so dust-control material applied to roadside surfaces remains effective later in harvest; the Board said it will consult the county engineer and report back.

John Atten met with the Ringgold County Board of Supervisors on March 9 to request that the county extend the allowable end date for blading roads treated with dust-control material from October 1 to November 1.

Atten told the Board that modern farm equipment has increased in size and that harvest activities sometimes continue into November depending on weather. He said extending the blading restriction would allow dust-control material placed in front of his residence to remain in place longer through the fall season.

The minutes record that the Board said it would discuss the matter with the county engineer and report back; no formal action or vote on a policy change was recorded in the minutes.
