Band-aid repairs – Shortsighted & Unsustainable
Example of throwing good money after bad…
This work will be erased with a plow during the first snowstorm

If funding has not kept pace with construction costs, what has been sacrificed?
• Hiring freeze – In the last three years, the department is down five employees, or 21%. Positions of future retirements are expected to remain vacant.
• Bridges – Eight bridges have been closed since March 2010. Only one has been replaced.
• More cracks and potholes on pavements, gravel patches appearing on sealcoats, gravel roads shorted on rock, and washouts on dirt roads have not been fixed.

Key Questions for the Public
• What county road system does the public want?
• What county road system does the public want to pay for?
• What county road system does the public need?
• If funding from the state does not meet the needs of the county road system, what does the public want to do?

Ringgold County Secondary Road System - Sealcoat
![Page 29: Future of Ringgold County Sealcoat Road System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814354550346895dafd052/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Segments of 1-3 miles were evaluated. Items considered in this evaluation include:
1.Traffic Count2.Road Classification (FA, FM, local)3.System Continuity (connectivity of major routes)4.Proximity to a Town5.Number of Residences6.Number of Businesses/Churches7.Terrain and Maintenance Issues
Sealcoat Road Point System
![Page 30: Future of Ringgold County Sealcoat Road System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814354550346895dafd052/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
After considering the above criteria and vehicle types on each existing sealcoat road, a new long-term surface type was selected:
HMA Pavement 25.0 Miles Sealcoat 25.8 MilesGravel 24.6 Miles
IMPORTANTWithout an increase in funding from gas taxes or local funding, it is anticipated that the level of service will have to be adjusted to GRAVEL on ALL sealcoat roads.

Improvements if $9 million bond passes

If bond fails, all 75 miles of sealcoats return to gravel
![Page 33: Future of Ringgold County Sealcoat Road System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814354550346895dafd052/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• If $9 million bond fails• Nothing. No additional taxes• As the sealcoat roads continue to deteriorate, they will
be converted back to gravel when public safety becomes an issue.
How much more will I have to pay?
• If $9 million bond passes• Residential property examples
• $73 per year for $50,000 assessed value• $145 per year for every $100,000 in assessed value
• Agricultural property example – 40 acre, CSR of 42• $41 per year for 40 acre tract
• Commercial property – $290 per year for $100,000 assessed value
• For all classes, cost will be similar to line item “General Supplemental” on your property tax statement.

• $9 million bond
What are the bond details?

• 110 miles of seal coat roads in 2009 – The Page County Engineer reported at the time about half of them look like mine fields.
• Held public meetings to educate the public that revenues are not keeping pace with costs, and maintaining all miles of sealcoat roads was no longer sustainable.
• Page County Engineer reported in August 2011 that about 30 miles of sealcoat roads have been converted back to gravel so far, with more to follow.
