Paving delayed on Copperas Creek; county reports mower breakdowns and driveway damage
Summary
Highway Superintendent Benton Bartlett told the commission that Copperas Creek paving is delayed by tree root problems and storm‑downed trees; he also reported mower breakdowns and that one mower damaged a concrete driveway when a stump‑jumper came loose.
Benton Bartlett reported that "Copperas Creek was going to be paved after tree root problems were resolved. The rain has caused many trees to fall preventing paving progress." He said crews are mowing every day but are experiencing some breakdowns.
Bartlett also told the commission that one mower damaged a concrete driveway when "the stump jumper" came loose and cautioned residents and workers to be mindful of mower operations. The transcript records the operational problems and the paving delay but provides no timeline or cost estimate for repairs or paving rescheduling.
