Discuss and reevaluate Unpaved Roads List and Policy. (Requested by Commissioner Bridges) After a short discussion concerning the possibility of reevaluating the policy regarding the paving of dirt roads, Mr. Colclough: I move that we allow Ms. Smith and her staff to come back with reco=endations as to how to make this program successfuL Mr. Cheek: I'll second it. I Ms. Smith: In April of this year we approved language that revised the unpaved roads policy such that for a street where donation of right-of-way is not able to be obtained with the initial letting, said streets will be delayed from their initial contract grouping and carried forward to subsequent contracts if the right-of-way is acquired by that time. We have been doing that and we have a bid opening already scheduled for October 30. We have also been gradually updating this list and we are working toward pulling a contract together. Some people actually do not want their roads paved so we will be bringing those back as welL Some do not want 10 donate any right of way and we will be looking at that also. I recommend that we continue to go through our present process of working our way down the list and gathering those roads where we can acquire the right-of-way and once we've gone through the entire list, then we'll come back and determine if any changes need to be made. Mr. Chairman: Given that Ms. Smith has basically done what the motion called for, do I have a substitute motion that we accept it as information? Mr. Cheek: I move we accept it as information. Mr. Colclough: I second it. I 2 I Motion adopted unanimously. 7. Motion to declare property located at 2340 Windsor Spring Road as surplus property. Mr. Wall: I reco=end that you declare it surplus and we will then auction it off and bring back the bid with a reco=endation. Mr. Cheek: I make a motion that we give this to the Land Bank and let them negotiate the sale through the source most likely to generate the most revenue for the City. Mr. Colclough: Second. Motion adopted unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Lena J. Bonner Clerk of Co=ission nwm I I 3
