Public Works reports mudslides, washouts and bridge inspections after storms; sign shop replacing wind-damaged signs
Summary
Public Works reported ongoing repairs to gravel roads after mudslides and washouts in all three districts, bridge inspections for scour, and sign replacements after windstorm damage; the west side saw beneficial rain and plows have been removed from county trucks.
Brian Wilson, Public Works Maintenance Operations Manager, briefed the board on storm-related road damage and ongoing repairs. Wilson reported mudslides and washouts on gravel roads across all three districts are being addressed; crews are working countywide. He said bridges are being inspected for scour and that the Sign shop is replacing signs damaged by a recent windstorm. Wilson added that the west side of the county saw beneficial rain with no damage and that plows have been removed from county trucks.
Wilson also told the commissioners that an open position in the Oakesdale shop will be reposted and moved to the St. John shop and that there are currently no requests for town work. The commissioners recorded these operational updates; no formal actions or new funding allocations were noted in the minutes.
Why it matters: road repairs, bridge inspections and sign replacement affect public safety and daily travel for county residents. The minutes record operational priorities and staffing adjustments being made by Public Works.
