County tables Secondary Roads on-call policy; engineers open single weed-spraying bid
Summary
Boone County tabled a proposed Secondary Roads on-call policy and opened a single bid of $37,149 for weed spraying; the engineer's office will confirm details before awarding the contract.
HR Director Katelynn Hensley presented the proposed Secondary Roads on-call policy during the March 25 meeting. Supervisor Scott Longhorn moved and Supervisor Shawn Bryant seconded a motion to table the policy; the motion passed unanimously.
Separately, County Engineer Jonathan Bullock opened bids for county weed-spraying work and received one bid from Brush & Weed Control Specialists for $37,149.00. Bullock told the board that the engineer's office will confirm bid details before making an award.
Why it matters: on-call policies affect staffing and overtime procedures for road maintenance, and the weed-spraying contract affects upkeep of county rights-of-way. The tabled policy postpones action; the single bid will require confirmation before contract award.
Next steps: the board deferred the on-call policy for further consideration; the Engineer's Office will review the bid and return with a recommendation.
