Tunnel of Trees report - Terry Franklin
County Road Millage - The board is opposed to 1/2 mill option which eliminates allocation to townships; and, being that the board is opposed to roads remaining in a deteriorating condition, it requests additional information on the one (1) mill option:
a) why construction costs are so high
b) are there ways to reduce improvement costs
c) how is money held and would interest accrue to township.
Since the township cannot fix even one (1) mile of road, according to ECRC estimated construction costs, with three (3) years of millage, what is the Road Commission’s plan to assist the township(s) in keeping the roads useable and safe?
Scott moved, Donahey seconded, PASSED, that the name of private road in Section 10 off Hurd Road will be South Hurd Lane, and to notify county of said name. (5-0)
