Successes We have had some wins in the last year: Nolan Hill Asphalt and Drainage Repair Oscar Walter Road and Livestock Crossing Project Dust Controlled a large part of the County by June 30th Transitioned to 2 Assistant Supervisors mid season Implemented a seasonal Lead Hand program that helped fill the gaps Reduced the gravel requirement through Base Stabilization and Grading efficiencies Reduced Divisional Grader beats from 9 to 8 Ron, Ian and Colton kept the wheels on everything and fuel in our tanks! Thanks guys 8 September 2018

Challenges/Opportunities Dry windy conditions and no moisture created challenges for operations Felt the effects in Base Stabilization , Dust Control and Road Reconditioning Assistant Supervisor moved and Darren and Ron stepped up to take on the challenge of Supervising. We had 3 retirements in 2017 and we are looking at a couple more retirements in 2018 We tried 2 dust control crews, one on each side of the river and concluded it would be more beneficial to run one larger crew. We will be moving forward with increased cross training for field staff and succession planning We continue to make changes to our operation and over the next year we hope to realize more efficiencies.
