Roads & Bridges reports litter pickup, increased beaver-tail bounty and maintenance progress
Summary
Brooks Johnson told the board the county's litter-pickup contractor finished a first pass, right-of-way mowing and spraying have started, and crews have received 101 beaver tails since the last meeting and 350 total since the bounty was increased.
Brooks Johnson updated the Appling County Board of Commissioners on road and bridge maintenance, litter collection and wildlife-bounty results.
Johnson said the county's litter-pickup contractor has completed its first trip around the county and that right-of-way mowing and spraying have begun. He reported 101 beaver tails had been turned in since the last meeting and a total of 350 since the county increased the bounty, which staff said has helped reduce hot spots. The county remains in a moderate drought and dirt roads have started to "wash-board," Johnson said; motor graders are being deployed as available. He added that pipe inventory is up, a new rock supplier was located and dirt stockpiles are sufficient.
The report was informational; no votes or formal actions were recorded in the minutes.
