County highway maintenance needs prompted a request to the council for a Bridge Fund appropriation. Rick Voyles presented a request for an additional $796,525 from Bridge Fund 1135 to cover work on a bridge in Franklin Bottoms and on Bridge 61. The request was entered into the meeting record for council consideration.

Council comments later in the meeting reflected concern about project shortages and rising costs on some highway projects; Commissioner Todd Ewen said change orders on a separate building project amounted to 1.33% of the total budget and did not reflect a budget overrun for that project.
