BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: The reorganization of the Highway Construction section was approved as part of the FY 2026 Budget. As part of this reorganization, Joshua Chiasson and Matthew Ulrich have assumed supervisory roles that include expanded responsibilities and the expectation to serve as first responders to after-hours callouts.
To support these responsibilities, authorization of take-home County vehicles is requested for each employee. The vehicles will enable timely response to after-hours and weekend incidents using reliable County-owned equipment capable of traversing rough terrain when necessary. These vehicles will be equipped to address a variety of situations, including employee accidents, weather-related impacts to roads or bridges, and other emergency conditions requiring supervisory response.
