Supervisors get bridge, road and weed‑truck updates as county prepares for contract rock work
Summary
County staff told supervisors that bridge sheet‑piling and beam work are in progress, contract rock work is scheduled pending weather, and a new weed‑control truck has arrived and is being fitted with a skid for county spraying operations.
County staff updated supervisors on ongoing bridge and road maintenance projects and on equipment for weed control.
A staff member reported that sheet piling for a bridge is in place, beam work is underway and crews have been spotting and grading roads in preparation for contract rock, which is scheduled to start next week, weather permitting. "We've been spotting a lot of rock, grading roads, prepping them for the contract rock that'll start next week, weather permitting," the staff member said. Staff also said right‑of‑way releases are signed off and bridge plans are nearly complete.
On weed control, staff confirmed a new weed‑commissioner truck has arrived and is being fitted with a frame/skid for spraying. The staff member described options for scheduling spraying—either countywide runs or splitting the county into sections—and said using the truck could reduce repeated visits over several years. An attendee joked about the truck color being "pink." No formal board action was taken; staff will proceed with outfitting the truck and scheduling operations.
