PUBLIC WORKS 06-07-06
The Board discussed Access Management Standards for roads in unincorporated Douglas County. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works/County Engineer, explained that the County Counselor is preparing a resolution that would adopt these standards. The last issue to be resolved in order to complete the resolution is the issuance of entrance permits on township-maintained roads.

During discussions last fall concerning the proposed access management regulations, the Board expressed its desire to make the Public Works Department responsible for administering entrance permits on township maintained roads that are classified as Minor Collector or higher, following the implementation of revised access management regulations. The Board requested that the Public Works Department develop a procedure to administer entrance permits and provide an estimate of the cost of administering these entrance permits.

Browning presented several scenarios. McElhaney asked whether any feedback had been received from the Townships. Browning stated he had not received any comments.

Browning was directed to draft a resolution based upon the combination of Scenarios #2 and #3 to be returned for the Board's approval at a later date. No action was taken.

The Board discussed the disposition of the County owned house in the 1100 block of Rhode Island. The following were present for the discussion: Michelle Roberts, Heather Krase-Minnick, KT Walsh, Rebecca Buford, Charles Gruber, and Janet Good. No action was taken.
