Secondary Roads reports box culvert delay; motor-grader opening posted in Manning
Summary
Secondary Roads staff told the board contractor delivery for a box culvert is delayed until about mid-August; the department also has an open motor-grader position in Manning and discussed placement of a new grader and road-width constraints on Timber Avenue.
Secondary Roads personnel updated the board on multiple operations items, including a supplier delay for a box culvert and a personnel vacancy for a motor-grader operator in Manning.
The presenter (S8) said the box culvert will likely not be ready until the middle of August, which pushes the start of the installation. Staff confirmed a job posting for the open motor-grader position has been posted on social media and outlined training and placement plans for any hire. The board discussed whether a new motor grader should be assigned to the Manning location and whether in-house staff might fill the role. The presenter and commissioners also reviewed a narrow section of Timber Avenue where widening would require property acquisition; staff said major investment would be needed to bring it to standard width and described options for modest improvements.
Commissioners thanked staff for the update and asked staff to bring the board in for a site visit on a particularly narrow Class B road segment; no formal action was taken at the meeting.
