County plans flood sensors and warnings for Leon Cajas crossing near 266/274
Summary
Officials said funds were allocated to install flood crossing warnings and a sensor feed on Leon Cajas, with staff identifying a location near the intersection of 266 and 274; commissioners requested a site visit and a follow‑up plan because of overtopping risk.
The court discussed plans to install flood warning signs and an automated sensor for a dangerous low‑water crossing on Leon Cajas. Staff said allocated funds covered 'water over roadway' warnings and that a flashing yellow light and an automated sensor with a public feed could be installed ahead of rainy season to trigger warnings.
Mister Latham discussed site logistics and suggested placing devices near the intersection of Highways 266 and 274 while seeking a turnaround location safe for installation. Commissioner Weddle and other commissioners requested a site visit and asked staff to report back with a plan that accounts for equipment vulnerability during overtopping events.
No firm construction schedule or installation date was provided in the transcript; staff said they would coordinate with Justin (field staff) and return with proposed siting details.
