Road supervisor urges two part‑time mowing hires and equipment needs
Summary
Road Supervisor Zach Smith told the Fiscal Court the crew is occupied with culverts, ditching, potholes and grading; the Road Committee recommended hiring two part‑time mowing workers and discussed acquiring a wood chipper, while the judge warned of tight budgets.
Road Supervisor Zach Smith briefed the court on May 18 that county crews have been focused on culvert cleaning, ditch work, pothole repairs, bushwhacking and grading. Smith said bushwhacking on the HWY 193 end of New Cut Road is complete and grading on Little Dixie Road is finished; crews will next work on LeCompte’s Bottom. The report described routine maintenance priorities for the season.
Esq. Brad Fisher summarized the Road Committee’s recommendation to hire two part‑time workers for mowing to free the full‑time crew for other maintenance tasks, and the committee discussed purchasing a wood chipper after storm damage. Judge Bates said the budget is tight but noted a truck will arrive soon and might be paid from the current budget; he said there is limited room in the next budget for equipment purchases but part‑time help could be covered.
