Probst asked about the difference in these structures versus Weisberg’s. Listerman explained that the design depends on where it is, the hydraulics, and other maintenance costs and life-cycle costs. Small structures are 20 ft or less. There has to be more cover for some other designs. Every structure is independent. Commissioners also asked Listerman to check road issue on Stateline Rd hill.
Bonnell surface will be finished tomorrow. Had paver breakdown today. Striping bid will come in on Aug 2 meeting. The fog seal settled the issue that residents came in to a recent meeting complaining of the chip seal. They are now happy with the end result per Thatcher.
Highway budget submitted. Also working on Community Crossing matching grant also.
