Doug informed the commission he had received a Draft Memorandum of Understanding on the Arcadia Road Project from the BIA, Phoenix office.

The county is under pressure to keep the STP funding and needs to formalize the agreement as soon as possible.

Commissioner Stradinger informed Doug that she had received a phone call from Mr. Retallick.  Mr. Retallick has some concerns about the county using B Road Funds to pave the cemetery roads and for the gravel used at the Altamont School.  Mr. Retallick also thought that his road was scheduled for pavement this summer.

Doug answered that the paving of the Upper County cemeteries was paid for out of the Special Service District fund.  The 1800 tons of gravel was donated to the school district by order of the county commission.  Doug stated that Mr. Retallicks road was only to be considered for paving if there was time and money left after the other designated roads were finished in the project area.  Doug talked with Mr. Retallick a month ago and informed him then that there would not be enough funds to pave the road.

Commissioner Ross stated that the county donated the gravel to the school district.  Commissioner Ross will prepare a letter of response to Mr. Retallick.

Clayton Chidester approached the commission.  He stated that the planning commission would like to be released from the job of touring the roads in the county nominated for paving.   The planning commissions opinion is that since the road department is doing road improvement in county regions each year the road tour is no longer necessary.  The commission stated that there are twelve hundred miles of road in the county.  It is good to have the planning commission make recommendations.  The commissioners would like to meet with the planning commisison regarding this matter.  Clayton will arrange a meeting with the county commission and the planning commission an hour before the next planning meeting on September 5th.
