Road Supervisor Todd Henry told the Prairie County Board of Commissioners on March 11 that the road department is operating with just three staff members and that mobilization costs are the largest driver when crushing gravel for county projects. Henry also confirmed that a tree in Fallon had been taken down and removed.
Commissioner Todd Devlin said the board discussed a possible road levy for the general election, citing a figure of about 30 mills as a potential level to cover the road department's expenses. The board noted that roads are in good shape this year but discussed the levy as a mechanism for stable funding; no formal levy decision or ballot language was recorded in the minutes.
