Highway superintendent reports on bus‑route planning and equipment repairs
Summary
Highway Superintendent Theis told the Polk County board that maps were sent to schools to note bus routes for the 2025–26 year to help prioritize snow removal; two motor graders have mechanical problems and shop electrical work and lighting upgrades are underway.
Highway Superintendent Theis updated the Polk County Board of Commissioners Dec. 2 on road‑department operations, equipment status and preparations for winter service.
Theis said maps were distributed to local schools asking them to mark bus routes for the 2025–26 school year; those maps will be shared with the county road crew to help set snow‑removal priorities. Theis reported two motor graders have mechanical issues that affect operations. He said the heater in the Polk shop has been replaced, but the shop’s electrical wiring needs updating. New interior lights were purchased for the Shelby maintenance shop.
No motions or votes were recorded on the highway report; the update was entered into the minutes as an informational presentation to the board.
