Board authorizes resolution to prioritize deficient bridge replacements
Summary
Public Works asked the board to authorize a resolution prioritizing bridge replacements identified in safety inspections; commissioners approved the resolution and staff will pursue grant funding and allocate local match as necessary.
Tony Hennen said annual safety inspections identified about 11 bridges the county hopes to address over the next five years and asked permission to prepare a resolution prioritizing those replacements to support grant applications.
“From a program standpoint, Morrison County, we manage over 200 bridges including the township's bridges,” Hennen said, and explained the resolution would demonstrate county commitment when soliciting external funding. Commissioner Casper asked whether engineers perform the safety inspections; Hennen said the county’s bridge team does internal safety inspections and sets the priority list.
Commissioner Winter moved to approve authorization to prioritize the bridges and Commissioner Casper seconded; the motion was approved by voice affirmation. Staff will draft the resolution, pursue grants and plan to allocate county match funding where required.
