County engineer Floyd Emmons and firms Shire Hall and Hattery Engineering service backed the plan. Jim Shive noted future dragline work will recur every two to three years. Dudley Henderson shifted from opposition after confirmation the engineer's office can perform the repairs alongside road work. Anthony Scolaro said no current special assessment. future funding will come from the district’s maintenance funds.
