Road department says graveling and rocking ongoing; county awaits asphalt for Webber blacktop repairs
Summary
Joel Elkins reported that the road department has been graveling and rocking county roads, will work on the dispatch road this week, and that asphalt for Webber blacktop repairs has been ordered. Commissioners discussed using motor graders before harvest and resident-paid gravel on non‑FAS roads.
Joel Elkins told the commissioners the road department has been graveling and rocking roads and plans to work on the dispatch road this week. He said the county has ordered asphalt to repair the Webber blacktop, and that limestone rock has been used temporarily to fill potholes while waiting for the asphalt shipment.
Commissioner Ed Duskie said he has heard positive comments about work on Randall Road. Commissioner Ervin Underwood relayed a phone call from a resident asking whether residents can pay for gravel and have the county haul and place it on non‑Federal Aid Secondary roads; the transcript records the inquiry but does not record a policy decision. Commissioners also discussed running motor graders over dirt roads before harvest.
No formal policy change or vote on resident‑paid gravel was taken at the meeting; the board entered the road updates into the record for follow‑up by the road department.
