Star Valley Ranch updates staffing, equipment and chip-seal schedule after contractor misstep
Summary
Council heard that four candidates applied for a Public Works opening and the Town plans to extend an offer; seasonal SMO Jacob Pepper will depart Aug. 28. A contractor scheduling error delayed chip-seal work on Hardman Road, and the Town plans a test run and phased sequence for the chip-seal project.
Administrator Aitken told the Council that four candidates have expressed interest in the open Public Works position and the Town anticipates making an offer next Tuesday. He also reported the seasonal SMO, Jacob Pepper, will conclude his service on Thursday, Aug. 28, and thanked him for thorough reporting and positive interactions with residents.
Aitken reported a contractor scheduling error: Avail miscalculated timing, which caused H&K to arrive before materials were staged on Hardman Road, forcing a reschedule. He said he is working to clarify responsibility and determine a solution so the project can be completed as soon as possible. The broader town-led chip-seal program is proceeding with an expected sequence of Plat 21, then Vista Drive, and, if conditions allow, Plat 5; Public Works may run a test on Middle Branch Road east of Hardman (Fox Run Park to the Public Works facility) to confirm quality before wider rollout.
