Road & Bridge annual report reviewed; commissioners approve CDL pay differential and reimbursement agreement
Summary
Kurt Demel reviewed the 2025 Annual Road & Bridge Report and updated commissioners on projects; the board approved a $2.00 Class A CDL pay differential effective April 26, 2026, and a 36-month CDL training reimbursement agreement (both motions passed 3-0).
Kurt Demel, head of Road/Bridge/Noxious Weed/Zoning, presented the 2025 Annual Road & Bridge Report detailing the annual road and bridge budget, miles of concrete, asphalt, gravel/rock and earth surface roads, and the county's maintenance and construction costs. He told commissioners the report did not require signatures and that he would send it to the State after review.
Demel presented a payroll change to authorize a $2.00 per hour differential for employees holding a Class A CDL, effective April 26, 2026; the motion to approve the payroll change passed 3-0. He also presented a CDL Training Reimbursement Agreement for Road & Bridge employees with a 36-month term; the board approved that agreement by motion, 3-0. Demel discussed right-of-way reviews, ILS's feed-yard phase work, culvert projects and the ongoing tractor procurement conversation (commissioners asked him to check Sourcewell for options).
The approvals aim to retain and reimburse CDL-trained employees and to formalize training-cost recovery obligations through a contractual reimbursement term.
