Summary

After a commissioner reported a bow under the County Road 53 culvert at Double Lakes, county engineers reviewed photos and determined the structure is not a bridge; they will monitor it and said replacement, if needed, would be the county’s responsibility.

Commissioner Larry Anderson reported that an individual inspected the culvert at Double Lakes on County Road 53 and observed a bow under the structure. Assistant County Engineer/Solid Waste Administrator Kyle Pillatzki and Interim County Engineer Stephen Schnieder reviewed the matter and said the culvert is not classified as a bridge; if replacement is needed it would be a county expense.

Schnieder said staff now have photos of the culvert and do not believe replacement is currently necessary but will add the location to a monitoring list. No replacement or funding authorization occurred at the meeting; the item will be tracked as an infrastructure monitoring matter.
