Board actions: 10-hour road schedules, equipment purchase, dust-control agreements and township appointments
Summary
At its meeting the Crawford County Board of Supervisors approved a summer 10-hour work schedule for secondary roads bargaining unit, authorized a D5 equipment purchase with trade-in, approved 2026 dust-control applicator agreements, appointed a township clerk/trustee and set a public hearing on the proposed property tax levy for March 31 at 5:30 p.m.
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors approved several operational and procurement items during the meeting and set public notices and hearings for upcoming fiscal matters.
Key votes and approvals
- 10-hour days for secondary roads bargaining unit: The board approved a letter of understanding to permit 10-hour workdays (May 8 to Sept. 10). The agreement was presented with signatures from bargaining-unit representatives and passed on a voice vote.
- Heavy equipment purchase (D5): The board authorized purchase of a D5 from Ziggler, trading in the county D6 and agreeing to a $90,000 trade-in value to be paid in fiscal year 2027. Motion carried after roll-call/voice vote.
- Dust-control applicator agreements: The board approved the 2026 dust-control applicator agreements with four vendors (Hefron Services Inc.; RNC Dust Control; Dino's Road Dust Control; Mark's Dust Control) and directed staff to publish vendor contact details on the county website.
- Township appointment: The board appointed Rachel Jacobson as Morgan Township trustee and then appointed her as township clerk, with motions passing on voice votes.
- Property tax levy public hearing set: Staff briefed the board on the mailer schedule and valuation figures. The board set a separate public hearing on the proposed property-tax levy for March 31 at 5:30 p.m. to expand public participation; staff will publish the required notice and mailers.
Why it matters: These votes cover routine but practical county operations — staffing schedules that affect productivity, capital equipment replacement, vendor agreements for road maintenance, and the formal public-notice track for property-tax discussions that will inform voters of possible levy changes.
Meeting notes: Several items were approved unanimously or by voice vote; staff will follow up with contract posting, budget scheduling and public-notice mailings. More detailed budget impacts will be provided in subsequent budget documents and public hearings.
