Road superintendent reports FEMA visit, ongoing paving and staffing issues
Summary
Road Superintendent Joe Gardner told the board crews have been asphalting multiple roads, escorted FEMA inspectors for potential flood funding, and are spending hours correcting timesheets while office coverage gaps remain; commissioners suggested reallocating staff to return calls and cover the office.
Road Superintendent Joe Gardner reported to the board that crews have been asphalting R4 and 214, working on the JH entrance and the 254 bridges, and conducting other spot repairs. He said staff escorted FEMA representatives around the county on Tuesday to document flood damage and that the county hopes to receive FEMA funding to help with repairs.
Gardner also said the department and administrative staff are spending three to four hours per week correcting timesheets because of app issues and that office coverage gaps have left callers without timely responses. Commissioner Keith Kelly said residents expect returned calls; the board discussed pulling other personnel to provide coverage.
