Transportation seeks four operators, two boom mowers to increase mowing frequency in growing precincts
Summary
Transportation staff requested four driver/equipment operator positions and two additional boom mowers to keep up with growing mowing and branch-trimming demand in precincts 1 and 4; commissioners said one mower was already in the budget and the rest would be considered.
Transportation and engineering officials asked Denton County commissioners for four additional driver/equipment-operator positions and two boom-mower purchases to allow more frequent mowing and branch management in several precincts.
Commissioner Williams said precincts 1 and 4 face the greatest demand and that staffing gaps force crews to reassign employees to road work, reducing mowing frequency. Jody and Tina, operations staff, told the court that adding personnel plus two additional mowers (one replacement mower is already budgeted) would allow the county to increase mowing frequency year-round. Commissioners did not immediately approve the full request and noted equipment and personnel tradeoffs would be reviewed as part of the broader budget.
