11:10 a.m. Bob Chennel regarding road work that is being done on Tom Taha Road-this is a Forest Service project. Traffic has been detoured through Hillside Drive, which is a private road with no public access. It was determined that this road was not adequate as a primary detour due to the narrow winding layout of the road, yet those who know the road exists continue to use it. Chennel requests that signs be put up below Shenandoah Estates closing access to this road and rerouting it appropriately as this wear and tear will cause extensive damage and potential liability for the property owners-discussion. Brandt advises that we will speak with Gene Meinen and Kirk MacGregor about the possibility of placing signs.
