Commissioners review base rock request, culvert replacements and 4‑way stop inspection
Summary
Road & Bridge Supervisor Cody Zook told the Board a Baxter EPA‑site overseer requested larger base rock for a roadway; Commissioner Jack Garner pressed to use asphalt funds to replace culverts, and Sheriff Henderson supported making SE 68th and SE Bluebird a 4‑way stop. County Counselor Jake Conard said he will draft a traffic control resolution for next week.
On March 10, 2025, Cherokee County Road & Bridge Supervisor Cody Zook told the Board that Jason Smith, who oversees an EPA site in Baxter, had asked that larger base rock be placed on the roadway near the site. The matter was presented as a request for infrastructure improvement rather than a formal action item.
Commissioner Jack Garner requested that some asphalt funds be reallocated to replace several culverts; Zook described pricing and placement options. Zook also asked the sheriff to inspect the intersection at SE 68th and SE Bluebird for potential traffic control changes. Sheriff Henderson told the Board he felt the intersection should be converted to a 4‑way stop, and County Counselor Jake Conard said he would prepare a traffic control resolution for the next meeting. The Board did not record a formal vote on the base rock or culvert funding during this meeting.
