Butler County engineer reports plan to clear silt from west ditch; C13 asphalt work slated to start June 17
Summary
County Engineer John Riherd told the board on June 4 he inspected farmer soil and water concerns and expects crews can clear silt from the west ditch right-of-way; he also said C13 asphalt work should begin around June 17.
County Engineer John Riherd briefed the Butler County Board of Supervisors on June 4 about recent farmer soil-and-water concerns and upcoming roadwork.
Riherd said he inspected the area in question and concluded the county can clear silt from the west ditch right-of-way. Supervisor Greg Barnett pointed to language in the county ordinance that references the county cleaning the ditch the first time, noting the regulatory context for the work. Riherd did not record a specific timeline for the ditch-clearing crew but described the work as feasible based on his inspection.
Riherd also said C13 asphalt work is expected to begin around June 17. The minutes do not specify the precise locations or contractor for the C13 project, nor do they list a project budget in the published claims. No formal motion or vote was recorded for the engineer’s update; the item was presented as an informational report to the board.
The board took no formal action to authorize additional funding or contracts in the minutes; staff follow-up would be required for scheduling, cost estimates, and contractor selection before any construction begins.
