Commissioners amend county road‑use agreement to cover Williams Power project access
Summary
The board approved an amendment adding roughly 400 feet of road near the paper mill to the county road‑use agreement with Williams Power LLC so the road segment is bonded and covered under the agreement.
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted to approve an amendment to the county roadway usage agreement with Williams Power LLC to add a short segment of road near the paper mill to the bonded area.
A presenter representing the Williams Power project told commissioners they had worked with county staff and asked to "add about 400 foot of road on paper mill just to make sure that it's covered under the agreement," so that the added segment would be bonded and the company would be accountable for impacts. County staff confirmed the requested language and the motion to approve the amendment passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: adding the short road segment explicitly brings the roadway under the protections and bonding requirements of the county agreement, giving staff a contract remedy if construction activities damage the roadway.
The board approved the change and directed staff to finalize the amended agreement.
