Summary
The court conducted the first reading of a proposed road ordinance adding Noah Howard Road (1,257 feet / approx. 0.2379 miles) to the county system after receiving a notarized petition signed by five residents; further readings/votes were not completed at the meeting.
Pike County Fiscal Court completed a first reading of a proposed ordinance to adopt Noah Howard Road into the county road system.
County staff presented the measure as an adoption of a 1,257-foot stretch (approximately 0.2379 miles) and reported the right-of-way width as 57.15 feet. Staff said five residents submitted a notarized petition that meets county requirements for placing the road on the agenda.
Because this was the first reading, the court did not take a final vote to adopt the ordinance at this meeting. County staff said the first reading was a required procedural step and noted that the petitioners met the documentation requirements. The court did not discuss engineering, funding for paving, or a timetable for construction during the first-reading presentation.
Officials asked the clerk to proceed with the first reading as a procedural matter; additional readings or votes will be required before the road is accepted into the county-maintained system.
