Crawford County schedules May 5 work session to weigh asphalt repairs and budget trade-offs
Summary
Commissioners discussed starting asphalt work, possible cost savings by limiting full resurfacing in favor of patching, and agreed to a 9:30 a.m. work session on May 5 to coordinate with foremen; Commissioner Blair said 180th must be fixed this year.
On April 28 the Crawford County commissioners discussed the county's asphalting program and whether to scale back full resurfacing in favor of targeted patching to save funds. Commissioner Carl Wood asked how to begin the asphalt work; Commissioner Tom Moody proposed cutting back where possible and raised ballpark figures of around $50,000 or $75,000 per unit to guide planning. Commissioner Bruce Blair said that 180th must be fixed this year and urged prioritization.
The board agreed to hold a work session at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5, to discuss asphalting in more detail and to consult foremen on specific priorities and cost estimates; Blair said he would be absent but would provide his input to the County Counselor ahead of the session.
The discussion produced no immediate spending authorization; the May 5 work session will explore budget trade-offs and timing.
