County Road & Bridge facing budget shortfall |

Boundary County Public Information
Boundary County did not receive our normal
funding from the U.S. Forest Service Secure
Rural School (SRS) program for funding year
2016-2017.
Several programs will be limited or cut to work
within the bounds of this hopefully short term
budget shortfall, including:
* A 50% cut in dust abatement. We encourage those who have special needs
requiring dust abatement to search out
alternative avenues and private vendors for
those projects. (there are local private vendors
available)
* Little or no chip sealing
* Asphalt repairs will be limited to ongoing or already funded projects.
Priorities will be determined by means such as
traffic counters, roadway inspections and
highest identified traffic areas
Boundary County regrets the situation caused by
lack of routine federal funding (SRS), but rest
assured Road and Bridge will continue to deliver
to the highest quality operation considering
these unforeseeable restraints. |
