McDonald County hires three road crew members; chip-seal work planned for August
Summary
Road Foreman Mullins told the commission that three new crew members were hired to address a backlog, chip-seal projects are scheduled to begin in August and continue through the month, and recent storms caused downed trees and power outages in parts of the county.
Road Foreman Mullins told the McDonald County Commission on June 18 that three new road crew members were hired to help address a backlog of road projects and that county chip-seal operations are scheduled to begin in August and continue through the month.
The Emergency Management Director reported recent heavy rainfall and wind gusts reaching at least 20 mph, which caused power outages on the county's western side and several downed trees on the eastern side. Officials discussed road and power impacts and staffing to respond to storm-related repairs.
Foreman Mullins' update framed the chip-seal work as part of a planned maintenance cycle; no contract awards or new funding allocations were recorded in the minutes. The commission did not take a separate formal vote on staffing or the chip-seal schedule during this meeting.
