Summary

County staff estimated Nighthawk Road repairs at about $900,000 and asked the commission to support a 50% local cost share; commissioners approved Resolution 2026-13 to strengthen grant application and included letters of support in the packet.

Staff (S12) presented a resolution supporting repair work on Nighthawk Road, noting an engineer’s estimate of roughly $900,000 for repairs and proposing that the county seek a 50% local cost-share commitment to strengthen an application for funding. The presenter said three letters of recommendation/support were included in the packet and asked the commission for approval to give the application the best chance possible.

Commissioner (S8) moved to approve Resolution 2026-13 (cost-share support). The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff said an updated resolution format in the packet included space for commissioner signatures and minor corrections; officials asked for "happy thoughts" and support as the application moves forward.

The commission did not appropriate funds at the meeting; the vote was a formal statement of support intended to accompany grant or program applications and to document the county’s willingness to provide a 50% local share if the funding opportunity is awarded.
