County engineer to draft policy for upgrading minimum-maintenance roads after commissioner concerns
Summary
After Commissioner Chris Bartel raised safety concerns about minimum-maintenance roads near his property, County Engineer Wayne Scritchfield said he would prepare formal policy and procedures for handling petitions to upgrade such roads and post them on the county website.
Vice Chair Chris Bartel raised concerns that a dirt road adjacent to his land is labeled a minimum-maintenance road and can create hazards when ruts or mud are carried onto maintained roads. County Engineer Wayne Scritchfield told commissioners he would prepare a formal procedure for addressing petitions to upgrade minimum-maintenance roads and make the policy available on the county website.
Commissioners discussed the issue and asked Scritchfield to return with a written policy and procedures for board consideration. Commissioner Bartel indicated willingness to speak with local residents in the affected area about potential upgrades; no formal motion was recorded at the July 24 meeting to initiate upgrades, only direction to staff to draft policy.
