ROAD CONDITION COMPLAINT:

Mr. Joe Smith, Mr. Mike Likes, two (2) representatives of Dart Drilling and one (1) representative of Layne-Christensen Drilling, met with the Board to discuss the condition of County Road 2950.  They told the Board the road is “impassable” and the Board had “promised last year” to fix the road.  The drilling companies cannot move their equipment over this road in the present condition.  A copy of the minutes of July 15 and July 22, 2002 was read.  There was no mention of promising to repair the road but at that time it was to be closed and then the action was rescinded at the next meeting.

 Barbara Curtis and Vasco Brown of the Public Works Department will look at the road and report to the Board their recommendation on what can be done and the cost.
