Cherokee County hires Road and Bridge operator and hears asphalt-project update
Summary
Road and Bridge Superintendent Cody Zook introduced new hire Corbin Dantic for Utility/Operator I at $16/hour; the board approved the hire and Zook updated commissioners on current asphalt projects and efforts to find a new clay supplier.
Road and Bridge Superintendent Cody Zook presented a candidate for hire and an operational update during the Aug. 18 meeting. The board approved the hire of Corbin Dantic to the Utility/Operator I position at a starting rate of $16 per hour; Commissioner Cory Moates moved to approve and Commissioner Myra Carlisle Frazier seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Zook also briefed commissioners on ongoing asphalt projects and said the department is working to find a new source of clay used in road work. No additional funding or contract details were recorded in the minutes.
Why it matters: staffing and materials directly affect road maintenance timelines and service levels; hiring fills an operational vacancy and the search for clay could affect project schedules.
Next steps: the department will proceed with onboarding the new hire and continue sourcing clay; further project details may appear in future road-and-bridge updates to the board.
