Warren County approves crack‑sealing capital project and fund transfer

The Warren County Public Works Committee approved establishing a crack‑sealing capital project and a transfer of remaining funds from prior projects into the 2026 crack‑sealing budget.

Staff explained that crack sealing is a standard pavement‑preservation activity performed about 2–3 years after a pavement project; applying crack sealant helps extend a reconstructed road’s life by an additional 2–3 years and is a cost‑effective preventative measure. The committee was told the transfer moves leftover funds from earlier projects (identified as project 25) into the 2026 crack‑sealing project (project 26).

Committee members discussed timing and benefits of the treatment and then voted in favor; the chair called for 'Aye' and declared items 4 and 5 carried. The transcript does not list a roll‑call tally or dollar amounts for the transfer.

Staff said much of the crack‑sealing work is already underway; the approved transfer formalizes budget authority to continue the program across county roads.
