County moves one road project later in five‑year plan, tables geodetic network update for more research
Summary
Supervisors voted to amend the five‑year secondary roads plan to move an X37 STBG project from 2030 to 2031 to align with grant schedules; the proposed county geodetic-control-network update (~$12k–$13k) was tabled pending vendor and GIS compatibility checks with Beacon.
Supervisors approved a motion to amend the county’s five‑year secondary roads plan to delay an X37 STBG project from 2030 to 2031 to better align with regional planning and grant cycles.
Engineering staff said the shift would let the county complete grant processing in step with regional timelines and that the change is not expected to materially alter scope; supervisors asked clarifying questions about routing and whether shoulders or overlays would be used. The county engineer said some segments would need overlay work and that Safe Streets for All grant applications and bridge grants were under consideration for other projects.
Separately, staff introduced a proposal to update the county’s geodetic control network—work tied to flood‑elevation mapping and modern GPS coordinates—with an estimated cost discussed around $12,000–$13,000. Staff said they had reached out to nearby counties and to Beacon (the county’s GIS vendor) and recommended pausing action until they could confirm Beacon compatibility and the risk of producing parcel‑cleanup costs.
The board voted to table the geodetic‑network action and asked staff to gather more information and return with recommendations.
What happens next: the amendment to the roads plan will be recorded; staff will continue grant applications and return with further geodetic‑network cost/compatibility information.
