The Washington County Board of Supervisors heard the quarterly report from Secondary Roads at their Tuesday meeting. Washington County Engineer Jacob Thorius gave the report, “Snow removal was light really for the quarter except for about a three-week window in January. Didn’t use a ton of salt, about three hundred and seven tonnes in that window. Thirty-one hundred hours of regular time worked, one hundred and fourteen hours of overtime that was paid out, and then one thousand one hundred and twenty-two hours of comp time went on the books. Just shy of four hundred hours of classified as emergency call back in that time frame. Roughly five hundred and eighty-thousand dollars in expenses and wear and tear on equipment, there is fuel cost in there as well.” The Secondary Roads department also maintained 29 different non-department county vehicles over the last quarter with repairs and upkeep.
