Road and Bridge and emergency management updated commissioners on repairs to roads, bridges and guardrails from 2025–26 floods; staff said FEMA covers up to 75% of approved debris removal and the county must identify the local match, delaying completion.

County road and bridge staff reported roughly 19 off-system bridges reviewed after the flood, with about 4 closed and roughly 10 roads showing substantial damage; the court tentatively awarded a $91,248 contract to repair gabion erosion at Fall Branch Creek pending post-flood assessment.

Road & Bridge staff told commissioners rising fuel and material costs have driven sharp increases in coal-mix, aggregate and asphalt prices and a major spike in striping costs; the department reinstated $650,000 for Cave Springs reconstruction, raised contingency for flood repairs and guardrail replacements, and described long-term equipment replacement under a multi-year capital program.

Officials review budget and FEMA meeting outcomes regarding road bridge damage assessments.
