Road and Bridge Director Scott Kieffaber presented a purchase order for two Contech tubes totaling $25,782.10; Commissioner Keith Kelly moved to approve the purchase order and Commissioner Linda Gerhardt seconded. The motion carried 3/0.
Scott said he had been advised not to try a half-rate dust-control application this season and recommended removing two routes (254 T-W and T 142-166) from the county's dust-control program to stay within budget. Commissioners Kelly and Pruett expressed reservations about reducing coverage in their areas but agreed to the staff recommendation to remain within budget.
Scott later reported that the rock budget balance was $735,069.82 and that January-February rock spending ran about $135,000 per month; he outlined plans to run two trucks in the north and two in the south to manage distribution. No further motions related to dust control were recorded at this meeting.
