The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners set the 1‑ and 6‑year road plan public hearing for Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. after weighing competing calendar items and venue availability. Highway Superintendent Jason Schultz joined the meeting to propose hearing dates and the board discussed conflicts with an upcoming comprehensive‑plan hearing and statutory publication deadlines.
Commissioners initially moved to set the hearing for March 2 to allow more scheduling time, but after further discussion — including possible venue constraints, the planning commission calendar and the requirement to publish notices at least 10 days before the hearing — the board rescinded the March 2 date and adopted Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. for the road plan hearing. Staff were directed to confirm courtroom or alternative venue availability and to publish the hearing notice within statutory timelines.
What’s next: County staff will confirm venue availability, finalize notices for publication, and report back to the board with any adjustments required to meet the Open Meetings Act and public-notice deadlines.
