Public works reports Oxbow Road progress, Rock City hauling and ongoing well sampling at abandoned missile silos
Summary
Public Works Director Chris Smith told commissioners crews are finishing work on Oxbow Road, hauling rock for Rock City, working on Walnut and 40th ditches, coordinating a FEMA-requested road project, and that the state conducts quarterly well sampling at abandoned missile silos.
Chris Smith, Public Works Director, updated the commission on road and bridge operations, saying crews were expected to finish work on Oxbow Road that day and that the department is hauling rock for a site referred to as Rock City.
Smith said ditch work is underway on Walnut and 40th and that certain projects take substantial setup time — he noted it can take a week to set up to do a ditch. He said the state inspects and samples wells at the abandoned missile silos on a quarterly schedule and that the department is coordinating with FEMA on a road project the agency wants completed. Commissioner Scott Mortimer urged commissioners not to micromanage Smith's priorities; Smith emphasized competing priorities and a "mile-long" list of needed work.
