Highway staff report paving, equipment problems and mowing schedule
Summary
Highway staff updated the commission on paving activity in Tellahoma and Copperas Creek, ongoing equipment repairs, a recent stump-jumper incident, and the mowing schedule (three rounds completed with a fourth starting soon).
Staff told the commission crews are continuing paving operations where weather permits, with current work in Tellahoma along Copperas Creek. The staff member reported routine equipment maintenance needs and said mechanics have been dispatched for breakdowns; a stump-jumper fell off and damaged a driveway during recent operations.
Commissioners discussed vegetation control and mowing cycles. The chair and staff said the mowing team completes roughly three rounds and will start a fourth soon; staff noted heavy rain this season has made Johnson grass and other weeds harder to control, hampering visibility around equipment and at some road edges.
