Just a few FAQS: 176 miles of paved roads, 26 miles of gravel roads

Asphalt plants close from November [around] until April so hot asphalt is not available in the winter.

One MILE of road average 22' wide needs 1300 TONS of asphalt 2" thick, at FY 6-7 of ~$48 per ton +escalation [for those that don't want to do the math around $62,000 for ONE MILE of paving]

FY 6-7 used 8,750 tons of process for gravel road maintenance at $10.50 per ton.

Drivers in the winter travel about 10-12 miles for their own plow route. They average 2-3 hours for one pass of their route. Industry standard is about 8 miles per driver.

Further details on just what Public Works duties include are below in the annual report.
