Summary
The County Administrator recognized the Department of Transportation and Development Engineering Group for receiving an award from the Johnson Creek Watershed Council, citing fish‑friendly culverts and work to restore and protect Johnson Creek.
The County Administrator used a brief update at a county meeting to recognize employees in the Department of Transportation and Development’s Engineering Group for receiving an award from the Johnson Creek Watershed Council for their work on watershed restoration.
