County highway superintendent outlines chip seal, RAIF and safety projects
Summary
Highway Superintendent Doug Cimpl briefed commissioners on a chip seal project south of Platte (Geddes Oil Road), requested additional RAIF funds, and discussed flashing stop lights and ditch mowing; no binding votes were taken at the meeting.
Highway Superintendent Doug Cimpl updated the Charles Mix County Board of Commissioners on June 25 about road and safety work planned this season, including a chip seal project south of Platte on Geddes Oil Road, a request for additional Reap-Aid/RAIF funds, installation of flashing stop lights, and routine ditch mowing.
The briefing described project locations and operational needs; no formal appropriations or contract awards were made at the meeting. The update was informational, and commissioners asked for follow‑up details as needed for budgeting and scheduling.
Why it matters: Road maintenance and safety projects affect travel reliability and local budgets. Requests for additional RAIF funds could shift resources among county highway priorities.
Next steps: Superintendent Cimpl will provide more detail on cost estimates and timing for the chip seal work and the proposed flashing lights so the board can consider funding options at a future meeting.
