Makanda board plans McGuire Road resurfacing; trustees agree to use CD funds and request bids
Summary
Trustees directed that at least two bids be obtained to resurface McGuire Road and agreed to use funds from a certificate of deposit to pay for the work; they also noted a sagging nearby bridge will need inspection and possible repair.
President Tina Shingleton told the board she had ordered Slow-Children Playing signs for McGuire Road and Crackersneck and recommended the village solicit at least two quotes for resurfacing McGuire Road. Board members agreed to use funds from a CD to pay for resurfacing and asked Trustees Allen and Wolff to assemble a requirements list to put the project out for bids.
Trustee Pitcher raised a safety concern, reporting the bridge near his house is sagging and should be inspected and repaired before resurfacing work proceeds. President Shingleton noted the village's bridge inspection program last referenced 2021 inspections for bridges 20 feet or longer and said she would contact Mitch Burdick to determine whether shorter bridges require a different repair path. The board did not record a formal vote on contracting; the action recorded is consensus to solicit quotes and to use CD funds for payment.
