And um so uh 386 00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:04,880 uh I think Commissioner Billings Lee 387 00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:06,880 mentioned this at the last commission 388 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,120 meeting. Um some people say you can 389 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,600 drive 75 miles an hour over it. Some 390 00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:13,039 people say you can't drive 25. It's all 391 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,400 really what you can accommodate. The 392 00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:18,079 road is solid. We uh we hate that the 393 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,120 again we tried to fit as many roads as 394 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:23,199 we could last year and uh the weather 395 00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:26,000 just turned cold and wet on us uh a 396 00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:28,480 little bit earlier than we expected. And 397 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,320 so, um, uh, we think that the road will 398 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:34,799 last 20 plus years or longer 399 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,320 as is. Um, but it doesn't, it's not 400 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:39,840 quite as smooth as the roads that we did 401 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:42,480 this summer. Um, 402 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,919 um, 403 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,760 and so, uh, I've talked to several 404 00:17:45,919 --> 00:17:51,120 commissioners and and, you know, I'm 405 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:54,080 open to the guidance. The, uh, the road 406 00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:56,720 solid would be good. Um, Mr. Enzer is 407 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,960 correct. Um, obviously coming over it 408 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,400 with some plant mix, inch and a half. 409 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,679 We'll level it up, smooth it up, but 410 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,520 that's very expensive. That's usually 411 00:18:01,679 --> 00:18:06,559 something we try to avoid on these low 412 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:09,039 volume roads. Um, 413 00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:11,200 um, and uh, we could leave it alone. 414 00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:13,039 It'll last 20 plus years, no problem. Or 415 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,640 we could even mill up the the worst 416 00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:19,360 section he talked about, the quarter 417 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:21,200 mile nearest um, county road 418 00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:23,440 uh, 16. 419 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,320 Um, 420 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,600 » I'm sorry, 37. Yeah, 37. And we could uh 421 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:31,280 redo that quarter mile. Um, 422 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,200 and we would probably need to, if we did 423 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,400 that, we would, whatever we do, if we do 424 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,360 something, we would need to do it next 425 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:40,320 summer. We we we are uh kind of booked 426 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:43,520 up for this this summer. Uh, of course, 427 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:46,160 November is not too far away. And, uh, 428 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:50,320 so that's kind of where we're at. 429 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:54,480 You got the place I found the rub board, 430 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:59,520 washboard area was closer to his 431 00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:01,520 driveway near that cattle cover. 432 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,840 Did And that was after the second coat. 433 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,240 I had been back over since y'all put the 434 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,840 third. Did it get the wash board out? 435 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,480 » That is out. It's good right there. 436 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,559 » Okay. 437 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:17,679 » Back up towards 37. has got an issue 438 00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:19,360 and it's but there's water standing now 439 00:19:17,679 --> 00:19:21,120 y'all are really I'm going to give you 440 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:24,160 commend you people out there on the 441 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:26,240 county boy they put finally put 442 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,520 something down on it but we deal with 443 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:32,559 mud from that cover where they pack 444 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:35,120 nothing but clay look like in there to 445 00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:36,880 change the cover out after they done 446 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:38,720 built the road they come in there and to 447 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,000 that road back out which I spelled it 448 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:45,120 out in that wrote 449 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,039 But the but the 450 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:51,640 people running that truck goes out and 451 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:51,640 fixes the pothole fix 452 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,960 » What y'all call overachiever. I didn't 453 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,400 think you fix the pothole 454 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,640 gravel. 455 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,679 » So just just to explain what what Mr. 456 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:08,480 Enzer is talking about. Um there was a 457 00:20:05,679 --> 00:20:10,960 large 6ft diameter metal corrugated pipe 458 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,720 cover that was probably being used as a 459 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:16,160 uh cattle gap or cattle crossing 460 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,080 underneath the road and uh uh the bottom 461 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,679 had deteriorated. It needed replacing. 462 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,799 We ordered the pipe. The pipe didn't 463 00:20:19,679 --> 00:20:25,840 come in very quickly. And by the time it 464 00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:27,360 did come in, we we put it in. 465 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,000 Um 466 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:32,080 it was about just a a short time before 467 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,520 we were going to pave it. And we didn't 468 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,039 feel comfortable paving over that 469 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,679 section because we know that anytime we 470 00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:39,280 put in a covert, a new covert, we 471 00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:40,880 disturb the ground and we we don't get 472 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,400 100% compassion. Usually it takes a 473 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,760 little bit of time for traffic to go 474 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,679 over it. Maybe a good three months is 475 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,720 what we like to have for the the ground 476 00:20:45,679 --> 00:20:52,559 to settle. So, uh, our superintendent 477 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,880 made a decision not to not to chip seal 478 00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:57,520 over that, I would say three to 400 foot 479 00:20:54,880 --> 00:21:00,240 area. Uh, and when he and when we came 480 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:03,600 back this summer, this spring, and chip 481 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:07,440 sealed over it, um, there was a um at 482 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:09,200 the uh the the joints there. You could 483 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,679 feel it at the joints. I feel a little 484 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,679 noticeable drop or a little little bump. 485 00:21:11,679 --> 00:21:16,960 Um, since then we've tried to use the 486 00:21:13,679 --> 00:21:19,360 the uh uh to try to transition it with 487 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:22,480 some some liquid and rock and and made 488 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:24,640 it better, but um ideally we would have 489 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,240 put the cover in and gave it three 490 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,440 months to settle and then come over with 491 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,679 the chip seal and chip seal the whole 492 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,960 road at one time. So unfortunately we 493 00:21:29,679 --> 00:21:33,840 did have those joints. 494 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:37,600 » But I brought that to your attention 495 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:40,559 before y'all started. 496 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:43,280 » Okay. That's what didn't make sense. 497 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:45,440 » All right. Anybody got any 498 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,039 » Hold on. Hold on. 499 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,440 » Anybody got any questions for Heath 500 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:52,799 about 30? 501 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:56,400 All right. You had a Mr. Scott Roberts 502 00:21:52,799 --> 00:22:00,400 had a question about uh 503 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:05,760 43 and the shoulder work 504 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:08,720 and the water standing in the road 505 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:11,280 rudded areas in the in the road. He says 506 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,679 » Okay. Um 507 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,600 so uh 508 00:22:13,679 --> 00:22:17,919 uh Mr. Jim Long came to us a couple 509 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,280 months ago about the shoulders. Um the 510 00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:21,120 county wasn't accustomed to doing a lot 511 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,440 of shoulder work. We're mainly taking 512 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:25,840 these narrow roads, widening them out 513 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:29,679 and trying to put down a good chip seal 514 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:32,720 and um Can Road 43 has more residential 515 00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:34,240 um u a lot more houses on it than than 516 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,200 we normally deal with and people keep up 517 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,480 with their grass a little bit better 518 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,760 than we're accustomed to in the rural 519 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,120 county area. So, uh uh we talked with 520 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,440 the commission and we wanted to have a 521 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:45,600 focus more on uh doing a little more 522 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:50,080 prep on our on our shoulders. So, we did 523 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:51,840 add uh top soil and we also purchased a 524 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,840 uh a skid steer attachment called I 525 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,159 believe it's a Harley rake to try to 526 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,679 scrape out the rocks. So, that should 527 00:22:56,159 --> 00:23:03,120 improve our shoulders. And um 528 00:22:59,679 --> 00:23:05,280 um as far as the the uh if there is a if 529 00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:07,360 there is a uh some settlement, we hope 530 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,760 not. Maybe it's one spot, but I I'm not 531 00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:11,600 aware of any um what you call it 532 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,080 depressions or any what you what was the 533 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,559 word? 534 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,080 » Ruting. 535 00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:16,159 » Rudding. I'm not aware of any rudding. 536 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:21,840 The base should be very solid on 43. We 537 00:23:16,159 --> 00:23:24,080 we've driven 43. 43 is a good road. Um 538 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:28,000 we we feel like 43 is in in great 539 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:31,280 condition.
