Todd Fiscal Court approves road measures, will hear first reading of budget May 14

Work on much-needed drainage improvements on Davis Mill Road will soon begin after Todd Fiscal Court approved a resolution during a special-called meeting Tuesday morning.

Judge-Executive Todd Mansfield says he’s been assured by the state that Todd County can proceed with drainage work at the bridge near Trenton on Davis Mill and already promised state funds will come in as reimbursement after July 1.

Total cost of that project is $19,518.

Flooding on February 28 washed out a section of Jones Road and Judge Mansfield says the state has agreed to pay half of the costs to make those repairs.

Magistrates also approved a resolution to extend Chester Martin Road by a little more than a tenth of a mile and to re-route a section near the end at the expense of the property owner. A resolution was also approved formally accepting a section of Shallow Lake Circle into the county road plan.

Judge Mansfield and Treasurer Tammy Robertson says it’s the plan to have first reading of the county’s budget for the next fiscal year when magistrates meet again on May 14.
