Court discusses county road numbering and street‑naming process; schedules workshop with CAD
Summary
Commissioners discussed responsibility for county road numbers and private street naming, and asked staff to set a workshop with CAD (addressing/dispatch), planning staff and county leadership to agree a master list and process. No formal action was taken.
The court discussed who is responsible for assigning county road numbers and street names in Liberty County and agreed to schedule a workshop to coordinate with CAD (public safety addressing/dispatch), county mapping staff and the commissioners.
Court members said accurate and consistent county road numbering is critical for emergency response and described existing confusion between county road numbers and subdivision street names. County staff said the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system and the county assessor/collector (CAD in transcript context) maintain address lists but that the county needs a master list and clearer steps to prevent duplicate names or numbers. Staff recommended a joint workshop to define responsibilities and review a numeric naming system and a software/process solution to prevent duplicate submissions.
No vote was taken; a motion to adjourn followed later in the meeting. The court instructed staff to set a workshop with CAD, county mapping, and permitting/planning staff to resolve naming, numbering and liability questions for future subdivisions.
Ending: Court asked staff to produce a recommended process and to coordinate a workshop that includes CAD and county planning staff.
