Problems with road name – Dennis Albers stated when the first Silver Lakes subdivision was recorded – no problem with road names – now with 911 in effect – this creates a problem for second subdivision. Albers stated the Fish Creek road has always been John’s Creek road from beginning – 911 mapping named the road Fish Hatchery Road – did not know it was ever called John’s Creek road.
Randy Doman stated this is not Charlie Holliman’s problem – it is between County and Highway District.
Dennis will draft document – something county and highway district can agree on for road name change.
Next problem – Daryl Mullinix explained private road dedication – subdivision does not have public road access.
Randy explained that Holliman has put out money to acquire ROW – made sense to commissioners to provide opportunity for Grangeville Highway District to gain fee title to roads – this did not obligate district to maintain roads.
Daryl said – Grangeville Highway District does not want to take fee title of roads in subdivision.
Dennis explained that subdivision is in Grangeville highway district.
Randy stated the county will continue on with this subdivision – Grangeville Highway District has chance to accept fee title to roads now – it is their choice.
Hauger (highway district) said they are willing to sign, but the ¼ mile of private entrance into subdivision is a problem for them.
Darin Fales stated his client (Holliman) just wants to get his subdivision approved.
Wording has to be changed on plat.
Daryl stated if every thing remains private – they will sign the plat.
Further discussion followed – next meeting for Grangeville Highway District is March 6, 2008.
Dennis Albers will work with Carl Edwards and Daryl Mullinix. Edwards checked plat for the county. Mullinix is engineer for Grangeville Highway District.
Don Solberg re: liability insurance for Elk City Ambulance Association – Association requesting to lease building in Elk City owned by county. Solberg is able to find insurance for property for association – cost $400.00 – this does not cover liability, because they are not a public entity. Discussion followed. Commissioners said the county will continue to insure the property on our ICRMP insurance – but, the group must provide liability insurance.
Order for cancellation of taxes – total $28.15 – approved.
Beverage license approved:
