Hi neighbors:
Just wanted to present a few clarifications to yesterday's "meeting update."
1). There are NO decisions or actions being taken regarding "county takeover" or "road improvement" beyond seeking out as much detailed and specific information as possible to answer the questions the neighbors frequently ask regarding road options.
2). The meeting last summer with the county attorney and county commissioner that was mentioned at Wednesday evening's meeting was initiated and attended by motivated (non-board) neighbors as well as board members. The purpose was for acquiring information--which has been passed on to you-- so the entire neighborhood can make informed decisions in the future. Future meetings, if any, will be solely for the purpose of clarifying those details, which will also be passed on to you.
3). The focus of future maintenance issues will continue as it has been: a few gradings, some basecoarse dumped on the most heavily travelled areas, snowplowing over 6". It's enough to keep the road in reasonably good shape, although it is not sufficient to prevent further degradation from overuse or bad weather that may require more intensive repair work in the future. If more residents participated in the funding of the road maintenance, we could protect the integrity of the road surface a little better. Until more residents choose to contribute, we will make do with the funds that we have. The fairness issue continues to be a problem for residents who are frustrated at carrying the load for those who choose not to contribute (hence the motivation to seek out a county solution).
If a majority of residents (that number as specified by the county rules and regs) CHOOSES to pursue a County Improvement District in order to acquire funding (paid back by all residents) to stabilize the road surface on a portion of the road, we could eliminate the grading and erosion issues for part of the road, as well as reduce the constant requests for volunteer funding.
Thank you for all your questions and your support. We will continue to provide as much information as possible on this issue.
