Next, discussion was held in regard to the 2026 scheduled road maintenance and budget. Mr. Whited explained that several years ago the Commissioners increased the budget so that 1/7 of the paved roads could be covered each year. Mr. Whited stated this is the national recommended standard and that a surface treatment and maintenance on a 7-year rotation. Mr. Whited stated this year the budget is $2.1 million and everything that is scheduled to be done this year is approximately $84,000.00 more than what is within the budget. Currently it is 2 % miles short of hitting the 1/7 that is recommended and the reason for that is the some of the roads are wider than the normal 24- foot road. Mr. Whited stated there are a few options and that if the Board would like to remain as it is currently with the budget, there needs to be $84,000.00 worth removed from the schedule. Mr. Whited referred to District 3 map and stated that he highlighted 3 miles of Uma Road that was scheduled for a micro-seal and if that is removed, that would save approximately $89,000.00. Chairman Manwaring asked Mr. Whited if Uma Road was well traveled, to which Mr. Whited stated it is not well traveled but is in poor shape and needs patching and work don't prior to micro-sealing. The second option would be to use the Local Bridge Line item within Special Projects Fund, which is $150,000.00 and could cover $84,000.00. Mr. Whited stated that with all of the bridge replacements that have been done over the last few years using grant funding, this leaves additional funding that has been used on epoxy coatings on concrete bridge decks. Mr. Whited stated that he would propose keeping up with the lane miles and using funds from the Local Bridge Line Item to cover cost. The Board stated that they would be more in favor of keeping up with the lane miles, overspend the fund that payment should come from and open the budget to cover the cost as proposed. Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the 2026 road maintenance and budget, to keep up with the lane miles, overspend the proper line item where payment should come out and open the budget to cover the cost.

The vehicles sat for just over one month, they finally received offers and with those offers, wherein there was a negative equity of $36,400. Sgt. Kent stated that Unified covered the cost for windshield replacement, tires and paid an extra $15,000 (total of $17,400) to assist with the deficit, which left a buyout amount of $19,000 on those five (5) vehicles. Clerk Eckhardt stated that the original discussion was to pay this amount out of PILT but in doing research she found that within Fund 01-18-722-00, there is $50,000, which could be used if needed. The Board was in favor of paying the remaining $19,000 owed out of Fund 01-18-722-00. 15 Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to approve payment out of Fund 01-18-722-00 in the amount of $19,000 for buyout of the leased county vehicles.
