2:15 p.m. Gene Meinen reports that he met with Mike Hanna and Scott Carlton to inspect the Big Cedar Road and they concurred that the limited funding FEMA approved is not sufficient to repair the road. They are going to check on some other FEMA funding sources. Since the funding is not readily available, Meinen requests that he be allowed to go ahead with the design and preliminary work with Riedesel-discussion-no objection. Meinen regarding road project on Tom Taha-they are waiting on an easement from the Tribe-Forest Service won’t allow the purchase of the lower pipe needed without the easement in place. Meinen requests that the contractor be able to order both sections at the same time-in the event the easement is not in place at the time the pipe needs to be paid for, the County will pay for it pending the easement coming through-no objection to this from Commission.

 

2:30 p.m. Meeting adjourned.
