Highway superintendent reports roadwork, culverts, water leak and equipment repairs
Summary
Highway Superintendent Jonathan Fish reported road maintenance progress, culvert replacements, a water leak near Sporty’s by John Monroe’s property that rural water will investigate, and a hydraulic hose failure on a John Deere loader; CHIPS funding remains pending county budget action.
At the April 17 meeting, Highway Superintendent Jonathan Fish updated the board on spring road and equipment work and outstanding issues.
Fish reported no update from CHIPS (state/local highway aide) because the county had not completed the budget. Crews swept the school parking lot while students were on break, firmed dirt roads, and York raked Cheney Pond Road and Murphy Jones Road. Fish said culverts were changed, including one on Ramsey Road, and that the town is hauling sand. He noted an ongoing water leak past Sporty’s, near John Monroe’s property; Morse Coolidge from rural water is scheduled to inspect the leak on Tuesday. Fish also reported a hydraulic hose failure on a John Deere loader and said the town is back-ordered for about 140 tons of salt that has not yet been delivered.
The superintendent identified a need for the county to complete top coating on CR-30 and to repair the road in front of Dan Palmer’s property. No timeline was given for CHIPS funding, salt delivery, or the water-leak repair in the minutes.
