Road supervisor says EPA site requested larger base rock; commissioners discuss culverts and a 4‑way stop
Summary
County Road & Bridge Supervisor Cody Zook told commissioners that Jason Smith, who oversees an EPA site in Baxter, requested larger base rock for a roadway; the board also discussed culvert replacements funded from asphalt money and a proposed 4‑way stop at SE 68th and SE Bluebird.
County Road and Bridge Supervisor Cody Zook told the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners that "Jason Smith, who oversees EPA site in Baxter, has requested to have some bigger base rock put down on the roadway." The request was raised as part of routine Road & Bridge business on March 10; Zook also presented culvert pricing after Commissioner Jack Garner asked that some of his asphalt funds be used for culvert replacements. The board heard options for placing the new culverts and discussed costs.
Commissioner Cory Moates raised a safety concern about the intersection at SE 68th and SE Bluebird and asked that it be evaluated for a 4‑way stop. Sheriff Henderson stated he "felt it should be a 4‑way stop as well," and County Counselor Jake Conard told the board he would draft a traffic‑control resolution for consideration next week. No formal vote on traffic control was recorded at the meeting; the counselor’s resolution would be the next procedural step.
