(KLZA)--Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. met with the board. Maintenance on roads was discussed and Mr. Darveau reported that 2 motorgraders were being serviced at this time. He reported that the grant application has been completed and submitted.
Commissioner Campbell inquired on the maintenance being done on school bus routes. Mr. Darveau explained that the designated school bus routes that he currently has on file, which were received from the school districts many years ago, are some of the first to be cleared. He suggested that the County request that the school districts submit updated bus routes to the Road Department so that any changes that have been made by the schools can be also made by the County so that everyone is using the same information to help alleviate any misunderstandings.
The bridge on the road leading into the County Yard is being replaced and is being torn out this week with the replacement construction to start next week.
