County pays $21,151.44 for emergency fog seal after seal-coat shedding damages vehicles
Summary
Public works staff said an emergency fog-seal application stopped loose-rock shedding on County Road 21 and Longshore Road; auditors presented an invoice for $21,151.44 and the court approved payment.
Public works staff (identified in the meeting as Trent) told the court that Brian ordered and applied a thicker fog-seal emulsion on County Road 21 (Precinct 1) and Longshore Road (Precinct 3) after standard seal-coating began “shedding” rocks that were damaging vehicle windshields. Trent said the county crew used its own distributor and crew to apply the emergency product and that the treatment halted the shedding problem.
The auditors prepared an invoice for the emergency materials and work in the amount of $21,151.44; the court approved payment after a motion by Commissioner Berry and a second by Commissioner Wagner. Commissioners noted the cost will be charged to Precinct 1 seal-coat funds and thanked public works staff for addressing the safety issue quickly.
