Road and Bridge reports erosion threatening Duck Road, approves mower repair shipment
Summary
Road and Bridge Foreman reported that Little Osage River bank erosion is threatening Duck Road in Osage Township; commissioners gave permission to send a county mower to Florida for repairs at no cost to the county and noted culverts that need excavation.
Vernon County Road and Bridge foreman Mike Reasoner called into the May 6 commission session to outline maintenance concerns in Osage Township, including bank erosion along the Little Osage River that he said is "threatening Duck Road." Reasoner also asked permission to send a county mower to Florida for repairs; commissioners granted permission and noted the repair would be at no cost to the county.
Reasoner additionally reported culverts in another area of Osage Township that need digging and described ongoing assessments west of Balltown Bridge. The commission noted that the Missouri Department of Conservation will examine the threatened riverbank site. The minutes record no formal motion for the erosion assessment, but they do record the foreman's request and the commission's approval for the mower repair shipment.
The commission will track follow-up actions to determine whether emergency stabilization or culvert repairs require bids or further budget allocation.
