CHEBOYGAN CO., MI -- More snow is expected to fall this weekend, but don't expect some roads in Cheboygan County to be plowed.

The road commission says it's just not in the budget.

It’s going to be a tough winter for the Cheboygan County Road Commission.

A lack of funding will mean when it snows this weekend, chances are you'll have to live with it until Monday.

Unless you live on state-funded roads, the weekend ride could be slippery.

The Cheboygan County Road Commission says they have one man staffed on the weekends to clear the m-dot roads, but unless there's a huge snow, the primary and local roads will be glazed.

“Right now, we have to operate on the presumption that there won't be any additional funding coming our way anytime soon," said Cheboygan County Road Commission Manager/Engineer Luke Houlton.

It's the harsh reality as harsh conditions hit Cheboygan County.  With a failed Millage in November, and additional state funding ceasing to exist, the Cheboygan County Road Commission is devising a plan to make its depleted budget work.

"We’ve reviewed our policy and we're going to try to stick to it as best as we can, we don't want to have anybody get hurt, but at the same time, we can't just spend all of their money either," Houlton said.

So what this means is the sound of plow to pavement will most likely be non-existent during the night, or on the weekends.  There will be a truck out, but it will work on state-funded roads, like I-75 or M-68, but for the primaries and locals, they'll likely have to wait until normal business hours, unless a really big snow falls.

“It's just an unfortunate reality of where we're at, in terms of our budget," said Houlton.

Garnet Crawford III on Parke Road and says even during the Monday through Friday shifts, his road is covered with snow.

“Since the last two weeks or so since it's been snowing, I don't think I've seen one," said Crawford.

Houlton says the reality is this: With little money, there has to be big decisions.  And in a budget that seemingly will have a deficit, bare bones work will be done this winter to make it work.

“We're going to figure out a way, and I think we have, with about $80,000 in layoffs included, that we'll have a balanced budget," said Houlton.

Houlton says the road commission will evaluate the situation at the end of the winter to see where the budget stands.

He says most likely, next summer, there won't be much road work done and the 11 staff members could be laid off for as long as two months.
