Summary

Public works told commissioners chip seal work was delayed by rain but expected in the coming weeks; crack-seal material was said to be available and the county's asphalt machine is currently broken and under contractor repair.

Public works provided updates to the commission on road maintenance projects, saying chip-seal crews were rained out recently and are expected back in the coming weeks, while crack-seal material is on hand and the county's asphalt spreading equipment is being repaired.

"Where are we on Chip Seal?" a commissioner asked. Public works replied that crews had attempted work but were rained out and should return within the next few weeks; they also reported speaking with a contractor who has crack-seal material and expects to arrive by August or early September. The presenter added that the county's asphalt machine is "broke down right now" and is being repaired by the contractor, with repairs underway before resuming planned pavement work.

Commissioners heard these updates as part of staff reports; no formal action or new funding was proposed during the exchange.
