Commissioners seek timeline for debris and stream cleanup; Haywood Waterways asked to report
Summary
The board discussed roadside debris pickup, possible mid-spring timelines, emergency stream-debris removal priorities and volunteer coordination; staff said deadlines will be announced with 60–90 days' notice and Haywood Waterways will be invited to brief the board.
Commissioners asked county staff for a public timeline for roadside and stream debris removal and for clarity on when the county will move from emergency pickup to later phases. Staff said they have not set a firm deadline but expect the effort to continue into mid-spring and will provide 60–90 days' notice once a firm deadline is selected.
The board requested an update from Haywood Waterways on hand-stream debris pickup to assess progress and identify where volunteer groups might assist. "We have SDR and their partners... doing the analysis on emergency stream debris pickup," staff said, and expected a more detailed timeline within two weeks.
