Roads department reports staffing gaps, open work orders and flood response efforts
Summary
County roads staff reported multiple vacancies, dozens of open work orders across unpaved and paved divisions and described recent flood-response actions including temporary drives and coordination with city pumps; commissioners praised crews and asked for resources to reduce staff travel burdens.
Rosario Moore of the County Road Projects Department reported vacancies (ground maintenance tech, unpaved equipment operator, fleet-maintenance tech) and open work orders (26 unpaved, 33 paved, 12 signs, 3 parks and approximately 74 fleet-related). Moore said crews responded to recent flooding by pumping water and installing temporary drives and thanked city crews for assistance with larger pumps.
Commissioners raised concerns about added driving burdens on crews after operational moves and asked for interim transportation solutions; staff said six additional county vehicles are budgeted in the coming budget cycle to help return employees to their prior reporting locations and reduce personal travel costs.
