Other Business:
RS 2477 Roads:  The Federal Land Policy and Management Act repealed RS 2477 which provided the right-of-way for the construction of highways over public lands, not reserved for public uses.  Special interest groups are challenging the authority of counties to maintain and/or improve these roads. They deny the existence of established rights-of-way and roads.

Closing of these roads and trails would prevent farmers and ranchers from having proper access to their leases and would decrease the profitability of their operations. The public would be restricted access for recreational activities.

The county will submit a series of road to the attorney general's office of their review. Other roads will be submitted upon request.
