Highway commissioner reports on operations, PASER ratings, CIP and cold-storage planning
Summary
Commissioner Chad Scheinoha updated the Committee on snow-and-ice operations, staffing, equipment maintenance, 2025 PASER ratings, the CIP map review, and a draft plan and timeline for a new cold storage building at the Chilton site.
Highway Commissioner Chad Scheinoha gave the Committee a departmental report covering recent snow-and-ice control operations, staffing levels, and highway-equipment maintenance. He also summarized consultant and contractor work on several projects, reported 2025 Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) scores for county roadways, reviewed the Highway Department Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) map, and presented a draft architectural plan and proposed timeline for a new cold storage building on the west lot of the Chilton location.
Chair Matthew Budde also reminded the Committee of upcoming transportation-related events, including "Turn Out for Transportation" on May 14, 2026 at Fox Valley Technical College. The minutes do not include cost estimates, detailed PASER scores by roadway, or architectural specifications for the cold storage building; those details were provided in departmental documents and will be available in future staff reports.
Commissioner Scheinoha listed recent project communications with private engineering firms for CTH E bridge and culvert design and CTH M road construction work. The Committee reviewed the CIP map and heard that the WISDOT CTH B reconstruction is among the state projects noted in staff updates. No formal votes were taken on CIP items during this meeting.
