Road and Bridge superintendent reports flood damage to Delia-area roads, bridge work planned
Summary
Road and Bridge Superintendent Joe Gardner told commissioners five roads are underwater near Delia and outlined bridge removals, tube replacements, equipment issues, and training needs. He listed specific roads that crews worked on and recorded a $900 fire extinguisher inspection cost.
Joe Gardner, Jackson County Road and Bridge Superintendent, told the board April 27 that "there are 5 roads underwater in the Delia area," and described multiple repair and maintenance priorities.
Gardner reported that two bridges on W4 will be torn down (the south one expected to finish in a few days), a tube on I road and 118th was found too small and will be replaced but is currently underwater, and ditch work was done on 240th at the county line. He said crews "cleaned 9 tubes this week" and listed roads worked: 278th (between W–X and X–Y), 126th (between T–S), 102nd (R–S and S–T), U4 (98th–110th), H (230th–238th), 254th (G–H). Gardner also noted a truck that had been repaired "is done again and has been taken to ICE" (location/vendor not specified in the minutes).
The superintendent reported a $900 total cost for recent fire extinguisher inspections and recommended enrolling employees in the Kansas Road Scholar Program (stated cost $65 with a $50 refund). He said staff member Brandon is scheduled to return to work May 12. Commissioner Keith Kelly raised a complaint about work on 190th south of S Road and asked Gardner to check the situation.
