REQUEST FOR A DECISION REGARDING A PROPOSAL. FOR ROAD
IMPROVEMENTS TO SECONDARY ROADS NOT ON THE STATE MAINTAINED
SYSTEM: County Manager Mashburn said the county had received a request to participate in a
paving participation project under the provisions of the state statutes. The residents of Dcerfield
Road wanted financial assistance from the county in bringing their road up to state standards for
maintenance. Mashburn said the ramifications concerning this type of request were that the state
had identified at least 128 miles of unpaved private roads in the county, and the residents of these
roads might make a similar request. Mashburn said it was also unclear on how many miles of paved
road, not included in state maintenance, existed.
Gene Cloer, a resident of Deerfield Road, said the families had met and determined that if
they came up with $650 per lot, the money would show how serious they were about getting the
road paved. Cloer said some of the families had borrowed the money and were paying interest. He
said, "We have right now -- I have in my hand $14,450.00 that we went to the bank, or whatever,
to show you that we are wanting this road done." He said some families had provided enough
money to completely cover their portion of the road improvements.
