·         Roads
o   A note was made at the meeting regarding the 20 mile/hr. speed limit.
o   Rock was place along roads because the edges were starting to break down.
o   Cement was placed on Jackson 3 times and the issue returned.  This was due to water running under ground. The new repair included the installation of a French drain and concrete slab.
o   Bid to apply 2-inch cap to roads was obtained—estimate of $250,000
o   The questions were raised why we need to do all the roads at once or could we prioritize.  The desire to do all roads at once is to avoid the basic fee for bringing in equipment each time an area would be worked on. Basic charge is $1,500.
o   A special assessment will not work as collection can be a challenge and some members live on a county road.
o   Current plan is to patch areas that get bad until all roads can be capped.
o   A request was made that roads become a priority and a certain amount of money be save and earmarked for roads.
·         This will be discussed and numbers reviewed at the next board meeting.
o   There was discussion regarding Jim Bradford using roads for construction vehicles.  This will be further investigated.
·         Jackson and Andrew were deemed as public roads by court in 2003.

o    Why the road is public but then not maintained by the county?

·         Tennis court
