Baraga County Delays Jail Parking Lot Project – County Board Wrap

The anticipated repaving of the parking lot at the Baraga County Sheriff’s Department and Jail will have to wait a bit longer.

At last night’s county board meeting, commissioners reviewed bids received from Bacco Construction and Payne and Dolan. Both came in at around $80,000, and included removing the existing 25-year-old blacktop, and re-grading the site. In discussing the bids, commissioners felt the need to clarify exactly what areas will be repaved. A special meeting could be scheduled to approve the project once clarification is obtained.

In other action, the board approved a budgeted $5,000 contribution to UPSET West, which provides drug enforcement services to the region. Commissioners also formalized their decision to join with other counties in the region to create a regional Materials Management Plan for the handling of solid waste. The regional plan is being developed by the Western Upper Peninsula Planning and Development Region.
