COUNTY CLERK

 

Board Member Rollins seconded the motion, and the Chairman declared it adopted, all voting aye.

 

Highway Superintendent Smith notified the Board that she had received several complaints regarding someone fencing off County Road GH, a minimum maintenance road, so he could pasture both sides of the road since there was water on only one side of the road. The Board discussed the issue and consulted Deputy County Attorney Frank Barron regarding any county liability, but did not establish a policy for blocking minimum maintenance roads.  The owner of the cattle will be given two weeks to remove the fences from the road.

 

There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, the Board adjourned at 11:35 A.M. until 9:00 A.M. February 11, 2014.
