Road engineer updates commissioners on repairs, widening projects and FuelCloud rollout
Summary
Road engineer Brian Klinsick reported on recent rehab work (including Pettus Road), a planned widening on a narrow section of FM 1205, tree‑removal and cleanup on Solange Road, and broader maintenance strategy. He also described the county’s adoption of the FuelCloud app to manage fueling and accountability for county vehicles.
Brian Klinsick, the county road engineer, briefed commissioners on multiple maintenance projects and operational updates. He said rehab work was completed on Pettus Road using a reclaimer, outlined plans to widen a narrow section of FM 1205 in Precinct 2, and described tree removal operations after six trees fell on Solange Road (the road was closed temporarily while crews cleared debris). Klinsick said the goal is to perform work at a construction standard so the repairs do not require near‑term rework.
Klinsick also described the county’s FuelCloud app rollout for fueling county vehicles. The app requires a five‑digit PIN and records odometer readings; Klinsick said deputies made broad use of the system during recent flooding responses, that usage is recorded for accountability, and that a camera monitors at least one station. Commissioners thanked staff for cleanup assistance from private citizens and affirmed continued coordination on equipment and materials delivery.
