Service Department
Greg Sturgill has had a complicated year with the finishing of the St. Rt 316 project. The department mows, pickup leaves, repair streets, maintains out storm sewer system and some building maintenance.
These employees take pride in their work whether its in the middle of the night plowing snow or the middle of the day riding a mower.
Maintaining the roads is coming to a critical juncture because of the way the roadway is funded. More fuel-efficient cars, hybrids, electric vehicles reduce gasoline consumption The road money mostly comes fuel tax, which is per gallon not by price. So, we are working with 1990’s funding. With today’s prices that formula don’t work. We try to use what we have as seed money for grants to do more proper road maintenance.
