Supervisors approve Five-Year Program amendment to adjust bridge projects and funding
Summary
Butler County approved Resolution #2012-2024 amending the 2025 County Five-Year Program to change sequencing and federal funding allocations for multiple bridge deck-overlay projects; county engineer also updated the board on staffing, FEMA repairs and pending grant work.
The Butler County Board of Supervisors voted Oct. 22 to adopt Resolution #2012-2024, Amendment #1 to the 2025 County Five-Year Program, adjusting the sequence, timing and funding for a set of bridge projects to conform with federal-aid requirements. County Engineer John Riherd presented the amendment and recommended the changes; Supervisor Rusty Eddy moved approval, with Supervisor Greg Barnett seconding; the motion carried on a unanimous voice vote.
The amendment lists multiple bridge projects (deck overlay and approach pavement work on county routes T55 and T25 over the West Fork Cedar River and other small streams) and records project-level funding adjustments for 2025. The transcript lists specific project IDs and project-level totals for several items (examples shown in the amendment: $425,000; $175,000; $200,000; $400,000). A summary table in the record lists total program funds for the accomplishment year as $5,625,000.
Riherd also provided an engineering update: he said he is conducting interviews to fill openings after a confirmed upcoming retirement, that county crews are coordinating with FEMA to address culvert and rock washout from spring events, that plans for four approved bridge projects are underway, and that T16 resurfacing plans (including through Dumont) are progressing. He said staff will revise and re-submit a Packard Bridge grant application after receiving feedback on the initial submission.
Where the transcript contained table-formatted lines with numerical fields, some AADT and length values appear in a format that may reflect transcription or formatting artifacts; the article therefore summarizes the observable project descriptions, funding adjustments and totals as recorded at the meeting rather than reproducing every raw table field.
The board later approved the claims list and adjourned at 9:51 a.m., scheduling the next regular meeting for Oct. 29, 2024 at 9:00 a.m.
