Summary
Committee learned that three 2025 tri-axles are expected by year-end, the 2009 excavator is awaiting a transmission at Fabick Cat, and the department anticipates a retirement in April with job postings active.
Committee members received routine equipment and staffing updates March 5.
Staff reported three 2025 tri-axles are expected by the end of the year. A transmission failure on a 2009 rubber-tire excavator is being addressed; the machine is at Fabick Cat awaiting a replacement transmission. The committee also noted the county will lease three vehicles from Enterprise (one for the highway commissioner and two for patrol superintendents).
On staffing, the committee discussed an anticipated retirement in April; postings are open for operator and grader-operator positions and summer LTE positions are being advertised, which require applicants to be at least 18 years old. The committee also plans to reinstall the message board on US 41 just north of the scale.
