They have put up some signage but they may need to rework the intersections to make it safer but there may be so opposition if they were to close that leg. Steve stated that there were a number of project that were pushed back Project C40- 342 was pushed bank and the bridge on Monitor Road. He reported that his is looking at the Homestead drainage issues. The North Road ad Airport Road has drainage issues and he is looking at the culverts and also the drive ways. There is one driveway that was not permitted and does not have a culvert so they cost would be charged to the property owner. There are older driveways that the culverts are 30 years old and need to be replaced so that would be a cost to the county. Steve stated they used to put project number on the asphalt project if they were used for capital improvements but now the state statutes have changed and they are not part of the capital improvements. In order to qualify as a capital improvement it has to be beyond resurfacing it has to be a maintenance improvement projects to be part of the $250,000 capital improvement dollars.
