Highway and Bridge Committee Monthly Meeting

[00:05:27] I'll make a motion to set the minutes of greatness against the rain. Thank you. It's a second. I'm afraid to say it. I have to forget any old business. Before we get into the new business, we'd like to hear from our guests. Our fellow Sheridan, what would you like to talk about? It's on the agenda. Isn't it on the agenda? Yeah.

[00:05:54] About lowering the speed limit on Ripple Road. I can put it in the speed limit on Ripple Road. But the Ripple's small guys. Oh, yeah. That's why you talk about the little rowdy joke that you labeled. Yeah. Very considerate. That's right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[00:06:23] There was a useful side. I don't know. I thought there was a certain parts. Maybe I wouldn't have said slow down. It's county road, isn't it? It's not a state of your road. No. No. It's not a time where. I'll see the dollars. Huh.

[00:06:52] Well, they do drive fast. I've been close to Rome, where James Gooden did, we'd like one hand through the stops hanging in the yard. A long time ago. What would you think of Lauren and Taylor? I mean, what would you? Well, I knew Lauren Dixon out here at Lakewood,

[00:07:19] I'd say probably maybe 35 would be fine because a lot of times they're going to drive 40 anyhow. It's a street stretch there. We live right in front of it and they start flying both directions. Well we can focus it. I mean 35 or 25. That doesn't mean everything.

[00:07:48] It's not going to be police anymore. But maybe I see where it comes from. Maybe to give one. I'd like to respond to that. The Sheriff's Department has got that new sign, that visual sign. And Jackie will bring it out there and leave it for 34 babies. If you don't mind, you might not put it in your yard. It's just a sign that flashes, you know, what's the feeling it is.

[00:08:17] We use that over there in Kennedy, sir. It's made a big deal. But without sign in the dirt, if we wanted a policeman to come out and post it, he's not going to be able to take them. Oh yeah. They'd have to be, they'd have to be fine. We wanted to post this. Yeah. And that's something we could do with them apps, right? Yeah. We've got signs.

[00:08:46] I can look into this a little further and see if it's 35 or 40. I might need to do a little checking. But, you know, y'all go ahead and pass. Or if I'm going to write 35, you know, it's short this. Yeah. I put it in the form of oxygen to lower it to at least 35. I've got a motion. I've got a second on the phone saying hi. Perfect.

[00:09:13] When that happens and they get the sign of it, if you'll try to get some word to us, go get Jack and bring it. Okay. Bring that thing in. If you don't mind, we may have to stick it like a senior front yard or something. It's just a little trailer, but it runs out of paper. It's all soldered, don't it? Yeah. It runs out of solder. Yeah. We're in a straight, straight, straight, short. We see them come from both directions. They're out there watering in the morning and they're all late for work. And as soon as they come around on the first corner, they barrel through there and then hit the brake,

[00:09:42] going over the top of the field. I'm glad. Yeah. I'm in the opposite direction. Same direction. There's been a couple of dogs just within the last six months that killed them. Start slowing down by your ground. They might not make it. I know. It's a little hill. They still went to the table. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it is a pass. That's okay.

[00:10:11] It's an issue. Yeah. Yeah. All right. We'll get that in the opposite just as they pull up the stand. That's right. That's right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next about rug clothing. Back in the right.

[00:10:56] What? I think you're getting a feel of the law. I don't know if they took off the land and go away. This is from a gentleman down there on my hitchcock, bro. Very, very familiar with him. That's it. It cut off. It cut off. It actually, to tell you some history on this, Peter Hitchcock on this property and he used to build cats. And that's the reason the rug was ever put on there to take care of it.

[00:11:26] And it's a dead end road that goes to that house. This land, the hacks department, has been put in blankness. This little part there. And there's nobody that lives down through there. Only this can be subdivided because it's been put in this land trust. All of these uses about 280 some papers. And it's off the Bible's shop road, which is a road that, let's see, there's actually

[00:11:55] nobody that lives on that road. No. No road except, I think, for the other part, actually. The place right here is people just keep going up there and turning around. Does anybody live in the house? He's the other guy that's across the place. He's actually lived. Now, he don't actually live in that house. That little house is a man. He's got a camper. He's requested that he take off the road. That's the land all around.

[00:12:26] He's not the only one. He's the only one. Nobody else is. He owns that whole 280 something. That's all he does to store that house. Boy, it ain't a little while. It's a river. Yeah, he's river with it. I don't see a problem with it. How many more should you follow? Got a motor on the floor. You're a second. Second. Second, I don't think it's sad.

[00:12:57] I do have some news today. Land Road, I went down there, drove down, just to see a right thing down there. Working on it, there was a flatbed truck. There were two gentlemen. They had a welder on the back and moved it all the way down past. They were putting a nice, real big, nice gate. So it's further down. It's where it's supposed to be. It's where it's supposed to be. It's where it's supposed to be. So evidently, did the pipe get served down in the summer?

[00:13:27] Yeah, Robert is actually supposed to. It's happening. Well, I didn't do that tonight because I was going to bring them up and I used to do that. So I made a point to go in there and I went all the way down to the lake and I packed it all the way. It did start saying, what's the matter? I'll tell you again, I thought it was probably my last night. Well, I'm glad that's happening with you. Volume 2 from River Deggin East South Park.

[00:13:57] Yeah, it's not started to say something. But I didn't think I'd say something to the front. Oh, it's not complicated. No, it's not complicated. Yeah. What else you got? Carl, you got anything? Yeah, I got a question on the wrong fifth road. Where it washed the bridge out.

[00:14:22] May the night of 2024 when we had about eight inches around in a short period of time, it washed out the road. Washed getting under the road and washed out the bridge down there. And Levy's been out looking at it. Terry's been out looking at it. I talked with them at the USDA. They have a program, AWP program. And the engineers looked at it and they said it would have qualified.

[00:14:50] But I'm wondering why Levy didn't turn this road in. He's got two things. Three drivers are qualified. Two of them are being fixed. And this one is the worst of all. And it's not. I just pulled the old wife up and turned me. Well, the father wanted the wire. No, I. No, that's not the case. You were aware of it. I thought it did wash that. You see the plate breaking off. I went through the pictures.

[00:15:20] There's three pictures. I thought it didn't go the other way. Pass that around there. We had time to get it submitted. I've been wondering why it didn't get submitted. The EWP program would have paid you 100% for fixing that. And all the paperwork and everything. All the lady would have had to do the work. For everything. Well, that was either two or three.

[00:15:47] With the two sides that got it through, we're still waiting on the paper. You're still waiting on the paper. It might not be fixed today. But at least it would be on the thing that works. It could be fixed without. And the engineers told me that the only way that that could be fixed. Well, the one from, he's from Connecticut. He works with another guy that does this. They came out. They just wanted me to do the stream litigation stuff.

[00:16:16] But it's like five different farms is involved in it. And everybody would have to agree. And I don't think everybody's going to get on the second page. I don't even know if I'm on the page with it or not. But nevertheless, that engineer, when he came and looked at my farm to see it would qualify for the stream litigation. He said it would. But he said the only way that bridge can be fixed is if a 56 inch tile is put in a back side of it.

[00:16:43] It naturally, the way that it creates beans, it naturally wants to run where it washes this out. And that's twice it washed it out. In 2013 it washed it out and Levy come in there and it held until this time. He come in there and put a bunch of riprap in on that side. And it held until this, this particular flood. But it washed all that riprap out. But it was big. It was a big rock. But it was large rock. And it stayed there for 11 years.

[00:17:11] And it washed it out. But there's a long stretch here. If somebody, if somebody runs off, that runs not pretty much easily. If somebody runs off of it, it could be a hit, especially when the water's running. There at that bridge, if they run over, a vehicle will turn over in it and it's in the water upside down. It could be really bad. The flagging tape's gone since then. There's some cones still there. But I just don't know why it wasn't submitted.

[00:17:41] I did talk to him about this last rain. I took video of it while it was coming over. And he said it might qualify. But Levy has to submit it to see if it would qualify on this second rain, which the damage was done, none. But the water, I think the water went over the creek in the exact same place. So. Well, I'll get back in touch with him. You know, I'll get to see. Well, I've got oversight on my part. I mean, problems up there before.

[00:18:08] And I knew when we talked about it, everything he's talking about the other down through the earth. And then you told me, you know, we might get something. You know, I have a good, I can help. Won't be no problem. That would be great. But if we could get that EWP program to pay for it instead of taxpayers, it'd be more better, you know? Well, yeah, of course, we do the work.

[00:18:37] And the only thing, this last program, it took a long time to do it. And getting the permits and all that. And it's simply a year. You know, I like when that could flood. It would be tomorrow. It would be a year tomorrow. And he said that they were still waiting on the paper, but he thought it was almost here. But that's the thing. I mean, I get it. Yeah. Well, it's not stylus, isn't it? It's a cover. It's a cover. It's like, what? Yeah, six by six. It's not real big.

[00:19:06] The problem is it does. The creek makes a sharp turn and it comes back. Where it comes back, where the rope crosses, it's a bad finding. But the problem is, is the rope's two foot higher than the cover. So when the cover gets full and it does, it's got to rise two feet and it backs up on it and it floods about 15 acres of mine. Maybe 20. It floods it when it does it.

[00:19:36] It floods the water back. It's got to be lost. It is. I'm twice it's done that too. But, I mean, it was there. I just, that part's not, nobody's fault. Other than bad placement on my part. People put the creek. But, never mind. I would love to see that problem six and if we need it, you know, that problem for the great. I don't know. I'll check with it. Wait a minute. I'll take it yesterday.

[00:20:05] That's no problem. That's a good. That's a good. So, that program, I mean, is there anything that would prevent work from being done and then that program reimburse? No, you gotta, you gotta have the program done. You gotta have the approval and all that. I mean, what's the legislative work that's done for those two, right? Yeah, but you still have to wait until it all started to take the cross. Yeah, it's not a last year. I can see. Right, right. I mean, how a part of the fixer right now would be at their cost. Right.

[00:20:35] It would be at their cost. I have not been one of the city as time. I'm sure will. But they can't. It's not only the program. Yeah, I could say if they could. They paid the internet program to reimburse them. They paid the engineering and everything, which the engineer is. Right. But they're the fixer. No, it has to be all approved. Yeah, they like for you to do it in a house rather than go out and bid.

[00:21:04] They're all done in the end. We've done several of Hills Creek several years ago. And the engineer, the inspector said we did a good job and we had a good work for us. And they were real friendly. And it was several hundred tons of rods we put on turners in. And Hills Creek, that's the first project we've ever done. He told me that. That engineer said y'all was good to work with him. Yeah. He told me that. But he said, he said this should have been turned in on the back. Well, maybe.

[00:21:34] But he said the next break would be turning in. So I told Neil like the pictures of it this and I got them on my phone. Okay. I'll get my name. Alright. I appreciate it. That's fine. Anything else? I'll just hear from the room. And the. Speed limit. Oh yeah. What else? Yeah. Yeah. I'll turn it over. Thank you.

[00:22:04] The first one is just some transfers that we're doing. We're all in the same lines of each other. Just to kind of clean up a little bit here. We're in the budget. We're needing a little bit of extra in rental, crystal stone, and metal pile. So I'm taking it out of the one through the parentheses which is the concrete, the general construction, and the site.

[00:22:34] So we had $14,000 left in the site. We did. Originally we didn't but we could move it extra when it started snowing and we thought we was going to need more so we moved more but we did not need more. We did not need more so. So we have a motion to approve. Make my motion to approve. Make motion to approve. I have a second. I don't think I'm saying that.

[00:23:36] By the way it's a loan or something. That's a loan thing. I'll tell you if you're trying to get along it's going to be in for a piece of crap. I'll tell you. I'll tell you if you're going to approve. And then you'll be in the middle of the house.

[00:24:01] You're going to be in the middle of the house. The ones left down at the bottom, the base only has the equipment and motor vehicles. Those are the ones we have left over. So we're going to use that to take care of the contract services. We're going to pay $186,000 in contract services. Yes. We'll hopefully be able to pay between now and June 30th.

[00:24:31] That's the plan. Thank you. Yeah, he did not need to. 30. 60. Well, that's a bit of over a mile. Yeah. I think. But why? How long? The motion to approve.

[00:25:01] Got a motion to approve. Second. On the third percent. I have. What's the model cost? About $146,000. About $1100,000 per mile, $126,000 per time. I got home 27, so a year, 27 years ago. You can tell you the miles. It's the same, basically the same width. Everything is $25,000. You should have $12,000 in a mile of the total sheet. That's what it is.

[00:25:31] I wonder if it's what's happening on the 70th. I think it's actually two inches. Just two inches. 18 foot wide. I think it's anything. We could put on a . I think it's going to be a little bit. I think it's going to be a little bit. I agree with that. I think the second thing is our .

[00:26:00] I just noticed that that's the . It's just $25,000, $25,000, so I put that in changing. But the first column is the budget we are currently on right now, which I approved last year. The middle one is what I'm predicting that we're going to spend at the Virginia 30th. And then the third column is what we're asking for for next year. And then the fourth column shows that there was the difference between $20,000.

[00:26:30] Basically, it's almost the exact same budget. Dollar-wise, it is the same budget. It's just things are moving around a little bit different. There's no pay raises in here. There's all of that is the same. He's adding 500 more to contract with services to be able to pay a little bit more. You don't have anything.

[00:26:58] He's not planning on buying no vehicle or highway. I'm glad to hear that. I thought Landry got him off the door about that situation. He wants more in taping, so that was the easiest place to take it from, was take it from the equipment since he didn't need anything. And the motor vehicles he didn't need to use this year. He didn't buy no drugs or nothing. So that's what we're using in the equipment. I think they're real shaping their equipment. I'm trying to service don't you get it?

[00:27:28] I mean, we signed all services. Yeah. Yeah, I thought you did. So really that's the only difference is taking the equipment out and that was 440,000 of that. 500 then we moved over to contract services. The rest of it is pretty much all the exact same.

[00:27:56] So what did that give us total for contracts? I mean, I'm asking for saving of this. It's 2 million, but that also you have to take out for like drop-in or anything that's done on a contract. So drop-in, um, the... About 80 or 90% of it. Yeah, yeah, about 90%. About 90%. I'm just curious how many miles.

[00:28:27] Well, you know, 13 miles up, 12 or 13 miles. Well, I'm really glad that we're going to do more language. Yeah. I'm glad that, so... Yeah. I'm going to talk to my phasing contractor. It's due to October 31st, the present contract.

[00:28:56] Any chance? Any chance, yeah. That's 1.2 and 3's construction. What is that? The other three. State A's. Yeah. So right now, we're predicting that this could possibly cost right after 2 million, but he's got enough in State A to take care of the 1.2. So it'll be fully took care of if it comes in, if we could be under the 1.2.

[00:29:25] So we don't cost the county anything for it. I'd like a motion to approve this and see if the budget is coming. We've got a motion. We've got a second on the floor. We've got a second on the floor. Aye. Aye. Aye. All we need to close. Believe me, how do we decide what roads do we pay what roads are going on? Well, a lot of times I look at roads and I get some calls and I say this road's got a district

[00:29:55] by the city and I take all that into consideration. Sometimes I may have this and I may have a number this day and third. I've been the first week in my house. I've been the first week in my house. I've been the first week in my house. I've been traveling so much, but the fact that today, I'm going to go ahead and make the facts. I'm not sure how to pay what's going on. That's what I told you guys. Don't get touched in years. Yeah. I don't get to work through. You know, if you've got a technical credit, right? But I'm going to shoot. You know, it's like a horse.

[00:30:25] My horse. You can't be an idea, but. It doesn't say 13 miles will seem like a lot. Yeah. And you're only paying the 100 yards of time section to be able to pay the first to you. I'm going to go on two people's thing. Can they repaint the smart station road if it's too much patching?

[00:30:50] And somebody said the Roy Foster Road, too, gets tore up and it's just left that way. The Roy Foster Road is, you know, this is a good work. I didn't see that. You know what you wanted to do? Yeah. I mean, that's going to happen. The Roy Foster Road. Well, we have to send in process before all this other matter. Right. And so that's going to, I mean, that'll wind up having to, with all the heavy food that's going to go out there, you know. But we're going to drag in a lot of time. We'll drag, that's just for the top end.

[00:31:16] A lot of times we will drag in rough spots with a binder before we ever put the top and all. Right. Yeah. And Roy Foster's where the forest is going to go, where all this, that whole mess is going to wind up coming. So, not halfway through it. And I think people complain about Swamp Road out there. Yeah. I wrote it today. You get taxes, like you do. Yeah. Three. Swamp Road, but Swamp Road is as long as I can remember. Swamp, Swamp Road. We don't doubt about them trying to trips coming in out there and feed trips.

[00:31:45] So, so is Miser. We've got to feed them chickens, Carl. Yep, let the city can't get ties in. When they can't get in there, maybe they'll fix the ground. That's what I guess, Frank. Yeah. I saw my shoulders really bad. They weren't even. The far end Miser is pretty smooth up at certain point. You're right. They have been here. What is it? It's a, my, it's a, small road for the road. Oh yeah, small road. I would just, maybe. Yeah.

[00:32:14] You know, my hair, when I didn't want to fly, my wife's not, some of us, Greg, my, I don't want to. Let us out, you know, the magic. Did you tell your own person? We have anything else. Yeah. You heard it. Not that I have something. I can leave you like bananas. I heard it, right? Yeah. And the politics work. Oh. And then, am I paying it right?

[00:32:44] Oh, politics work. Yeah. Those people out there that are. Hey, you know, do you ever know politics work? Well, there we know. Oh. You see more bringing the room. Yeah. What is that? The underside. The underside. The underside. The underside. The underside. The underside. The underside. The underside. Yeah, when you go back here, it's always popped up. Oh.

[00:33:15] Yeah, when you go down. Absolutely. Yeah. And then, if you go down. The next layers is flakes. The pops up. The air is going to be something that's going to create a huge problem. Yeah. The air is a big brain. I saw a huge son. The main of mine. What was mine? Is there ever a permit that takes more? Yeah. He does. He has to blow. That's not bad. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure.

[00:33:45] I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure.
