Jefferson County OKs amended resolution to seek LTAC funding for High Sierra Road, $3.1 million project
Summary
Jefferson County commissioners approved an amended resolution to authorize submission of an application to the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LTAC) for the High Sierra Road construction project, citing a $3.1 million total cost estimate and a required county match of $227,540.
Jefferson County commissioners approved an amended resolution authorizing the county chair to submit an application to the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LTAC) to seek funding for the High Sierra Road construction project, with a total project cost estimated at $3,100,000 and a required county match of $227,540.
The resolution, identified in the meeting as Jefferson County Resolution Number 2020-56, directs the county chair to sign and submit the project application packet to LTAC for prioritization. Mike Carter, the county road and bridge official, told commissioners that the figure on the earlier draft of the resolution was incorrect and that the correct total project estimate is $3.1 million, which increases the county's matching obligation.
The commissioners moved to approve the amended resolution during the meeting. A commissioner made the motion to approve the amended Resolution Number 2020-56; another commissioner seconded it, and the clerk called for a roll call. The transcript does not record individual vote tallies or the names attached to each yes or no vote; the motion was presented and carried in the meeting record.
LTAC is the local body that ranks and allocates state-local funding for county and city road projects; the resolution authorizes Jefferson County to seek LTAC prioritization for the High Sierra Road project. The county-level match cited in the resolution is $227,540, to be provided from Jefferson County funds, according to the resolution text read at the meeting.
After approving the amended resolution and directing the chair to sign the application, commissioners closed their agenda business and adjourned the meeting.
