County weighs agency offer to remove Risk Road bridge; supervisors ask for time to decide
Summary
An outside offer to remove the Risk Road bridge was discussed; county staff said the agency originally offered $1.5 million, later increased to $1.75 million, and that inflation would make the equivalent closer to $1.92 million—board asked for a decision by next week while clarifying approach and access issues.
Supervisors reviewed an agency offer to remove the Risk Road bridge and discussed financial and logistical implications. Staff said the agency initially offered $1.5 million, returned with $1.75 million after negotiation, and estimated that adjusting the original $1.5 million for inflation places the present value near $1.92 million. "They came back at 1.75," a staff presenter said; the board asked to have a decision by next week so the agency can make plans.
Members discussed who would be responsible for the approaches after removal, access for adjacent farmers and landowners, and whether to accept the funds rather than fund a county rebuild. The board asked staff to return with final recommendations and any additional details about maintenance responsibilities and impacts on farm access before making a formal decision.
