REQUEST FOR THE TEMPORARY CLOSING OF SR 1363 -

assistance in the temporary closing of a portion of Bethlehem Road. He said the
duration of the closing would be approximately six months.
Chairman Johnson said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had
concerns that the road's traffic might interfere with the airport's instrument landing
system. He said an individual from Ohio University would conduct tests regarding the
situation.
Planning Supervisor Smith said he would determine if the portion of the road
slated for closure was located in the county or city's jurisdiction.

and the release of extra -territorial jurisdiction in the airport vicinity, Mayor Marshall
requested for these two items to be deleted from the 7:00 p.m. agenda.

cabinet) for the new part-time bioterrorism coordinator (2) vaccine freezer along with
an alarm system (3) planning and training equipment plus a contract with Larry
Dickerson for updates to the Bioterrorism Plan, and (4) a generator for the Statesville
main office. Rabe said the proposed generator costing $89,998.00 would,
