Court approves 45 mph signs for County Road 6300; roads staff report open work orders and staffing gaps

Rashad Moore presented a request to set the county speed limit at 45 mph on County Road 6300 between County Road 1900 and County Road 2000 in Precinct 4, citing resident density and turning movements near the water-treatment plant. “There’s approximately about 40 residential and commercial places there, folks going in and out,” Moore said, arguing the limit would improve safety; the court approved installation of 45 mph signs by motion and voice vote.

Later in the meeting Moore delivered a status report on county road projects and staffing: he said the department had open equipment-operator 1 and 2 positions and listed open work orders — 9 unpaved, 32 paved, 11 sign requests, 17 parks items, and roughly 69 open fleet/maintenance work orders. Commissioners discussed recent heavy rainfall that caused washouts and directed crews to remove material from ditches and proceed with repairs when conditions permit.
