Public Works Update
Public Works Director Mike Casper gave an update on existing projects and upcoming work. They are widening the shoulder on North Crescent (CR 177) and replacing the culverts. They completed the double chip sealing on a dirt road and will monitor it for durability. They chipped-sealed the Cedarview Cemetary. The County is paving in the Rock Creek area, and the contractor has asked the county to wait another week before starting the shouldering project. The parties discussed the Wells Draw project and when it will be completed. The crusher is making a lot of chips, and some reject sand. The Sheriff’s parking lot is almost ready for pavement. The parties discussed a newly paved road that has irrigation water being sprayed onto it. A letter will be sent to the property owner.
Emergency Management and Fire Weather Update
Emergency Management Director Joshua Phillips gave an update on the fire weather. The state has lifted the fire restrictions. Last week, a human-caused fire was reported in the Tabiona area in a mine shaft. It didn’t cause many issues, and they extinguished it. A Tabiona resident requested the fire department help burn an old house down. It will be great practice for the firefighters. The homeowner has to complete the required testing before anything can be done.
