Commission schedules work sessions on dust control and discusses ordering salt as stocks run low

Speaker 2 (Unidentified official) reported recent conversations with Scott Kunchak and Road and Bridge coordinator Alyssa Edwards about salt supplies and proposed a work session to review bids and orders. "She told me she wanted 200 ton or 200, and, we could probably use a half a dozen," Speaker 2 said when discussing quantities, and later said county stock was "down half to two thirds." The speaker recommended holding a work session Friday to examine bids and fill the county supply.

Speaker 3 confirmed adding salt bids to the dust‑control work session and agreed to set the dust control meeting start to 9:30 a.m. to accommodate the salt discussion. The board agreed to a March 4, 9:00 a.m. work session to review fund requests and to allow Randy and Jody time to set up accounts payable and distributions.

Why this matters: salt and dust control services support winter road maintenance and local travel safety; low salt inventories can affect response to snow/ice events. The commissioners discussed logistics, possible quantities (one speaker cited 200 tons as a request), and scheduling so staff can prepare bids and funding entries.

No formal procurement decision or contract award was recorded in the provided transcript. The discussion focused on scheduling and operational needs; the commission directed staff to prepare for the upcoming work sessions.
