District Issues 1. Bishop Road Judge Lasher stated that after countless hours of research and interviewing people, the Court is unable to formulate an opinion if the end of the road is a county road or not. It is very difficult to decide. The land owner might have to argue this in a civil suit to make a determination. Judge Lasher stated that there is no evidence that the County has ever maintained that road. The road will remain as is unless someone files this issue in a civil court. 2. James Drive Petition to Close Road Brent Ferrell presented to the Court a petition, as shown below, to the Court from land owners to adopt James Drive into the County Road.
b. Safety Committee The Safety Committee had a meeting with members of the Safety Committee and came up with some issues they wanted to look at: 1. Leather gloves provided to employees. 2. Safety glasses provided. 3. Platform to wash truck beds out, similar to what the state garage has. 4. Personal lockers for employees. 5. Training for flagman. 6. Steel toe shoes for employees allocated amount for each employee. 7. Designated area for chemicals to be stored for the spray crew. 8. Welding curtain is needed. 9. Wash basin like the one at the state garage. 10. High volume outlet to help wash the truck beds out. 11. Housekeeping crowded building need to find area for the pipe to be stored. After a brief discussion, the Court decided to proceed with the purchase of leather gloves for the Road Department. They need to work a plan on how to keep up with who has gloves and when to receive new ones. Start work on a lay down yard for the pipe with fence and gate at the ball park. This will clean up the garage of extra storage items. It was decided to table the issue on lockers until after more research has been done. c.
