Summary

Joe Gardner reported the first W4 bridge is complete, crews are preparing for chip-and-seal, and several hazardous locations (94th & V, 11318 P4 Rd) were flagged for repairs or barricading; a truck awaits parts for a rebuilt motor.

Road and Bridge Superintendent Joe Gardner delivered the weekly operations report on May 4. He said the first bridge on W4 is complete and crews will start the next bridge, and that they have been prepping for chip-and-seal and performing dust-control work at Banner Lake ahead of the season. Joe said crews installed a tube on 278th and J4 Road and addressed routine oil changes.

Gardner reported he attended district court in a guard-rail case; the defendant pled guilty so he did not have to testify. He also provided a restitution quote for a sign damaged in a separate incident. Commissioners and staff raised safety concerns at specific locations: 94th and V Road (bridge out; needs barricading), 134th and 75 Highway east (missing resolution-number sign), and 11318 P4 Road (a tube full after the last storm). Joe said one truck is waiting on parts for a motor rebuild and crews will inspect a curve on W Road after a resident complaint that it is a rollover hazard.
