Road Report
Public Hearing
R oad C anyon
Road: Hauled rock, bladed
and rolled the road from the
six foot culvert at the bottom
of the grade to the Board
Creek intersection. Shoul
der Rock: Placed gravel,
bladed and swept shoulder
rock on Sand Hollow Road,
Myers Lane, Baseline Lane
and Blackhorse Canyon
Lane. Paving: A ssisted
ODOT with paving on Hwy
207 for one week, moved
equipment back to the Lex
ington yard and cleaned.
Hauled gravel for the new
gates and approach into
the fair grounds. Morter
Lane: Watered and graded
Morter Lane in preparation
of the application of a dust
abatement and road stabi
lizing substance. Over the
last three years the county
has spent $108,818.57 in
maintenance on this road.
This cost would be much
higher if the JVB Dairy did
not assist the county with
the maintenance o f this
road. Currently the road is
graded four times per year,
with the application of this
material the road should
only need to be graded
three times per year. With
additional applications of
this material over the next
few years, it is hoped that
the road will not need to be
graded as often. Weed Con
trol: Learned that a citizen
had expressed a concern
regarding the application of
weed control materials in a
location close to his grapes.
Commissioner Grieb, Pub
lic Works director and the
weed manager will meet
with this individual to ad
dress these concerns and
assure that this will not
happen again. Grant County
Fair: Mr. O’Brien reported
that the information pro
vided at the fair regarding
the OHV Park exhibit was
very well accepted and that
the county was very appre
ciative. Applications for the
Park Youth Hunt were pro
vided to those interested.
