The Banner County Board of Commissioners approved a contract to repair and crack‑seal downtown and nearby roads after the highway superintendent warned that large cracks are accelerating pavement deterioration.
Highway Superintendent Eric McCoy told the board the work would start soon and explained the process: initial crack sealing this year, followed by grinding and further repair next year where needed. He described some cracks as 1–1.5 inches in diameter and said failing to act would lead to greater deterioration and higher costs.
The board moved to approve the bid from Highway Improvement Company to perform crack‑seal work on Stagle (Steagle) Road, School Street and State Street for a total of $20,522.40. The motion was seconded and passed on a roll call vote with all recorded members voting yes.
Why it matters: Commissioners said the expense will preserve pavement and avoid costlier repairs later; the work will be paid from the county road/bridge fund rather than regular road operating funds.
What comes next: Highway staff will notify the contractor and keep commissioners informed about start dates and progress; follow‑up maintenance and possible grinding/overlay will be scheduled as needed.
