Federal road safety grant match
Summary
The highway department won two federal grants totaling $530,000 to scan all 630-plus miles of county roads for safety data — pavement condition, signs, guardrails, culverts. The county needs a $106,000 local match, and the committee put off the decision until the full nine-member committee can vote.

Impact analysis
Would cost the county $106,000 to unlock $530,000 in federal grant money.
All county road users get safer roads and the county positions itself for more future grants.
If delayed too long, grant deadlines and rising contractor prices could put the funding at risk.
