Road Items
Mr. Forrest Bird stated the road department is finished re-decking the bridge on County Road One Hundred Nineteen (CR#119) in the Altonah area. He stated the road department went out on Saturday and Sunday to plow snow from the roads. Commissioner Ross asked if they had plowed roads in the Upper Stillwater area. Mr. Bird stated they were plowing in that area today. Commissioner Ross asked if it was a county obligation to keep that area open all winter. Mr. Bird stated that Rock Creek Lodge is open all year so the road department has kept the roads plowed in the past.

Commissioner Ross asked if the road department had been repairing potholes in the roads. Mr. Bird replied that it was not a priority in the past, but they are trying to get them repaired now when time allows. Commissioner Ross asked if it is possible to repair a pothole in cold weather. Mr. Bird replied that it is possible but the repair job is not always as good as it could be in warmer weather.

Commissioner Ross asked the status of the Title Five (5) application with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Mr. Bird replied that he has contacted BLM and the individual in charge of it will be out of the office until December 5, 2004.
