Commissioners approve roadway-use agreement with Howard family trust; county will maintain road for garbage and emergency access
Summary
The board approved a roadway-use (lisonbee) agreement with the Matthew M. and Sandra T. Howard Family Trust that places the county responsible for maintenance related to garbage collection and emergency vehicles; commissioners discussed budgeting to cover maintenance costs.
Hendry County commissioners approved a roadway-use agreement (referred to in the packet as "lisonbee for roadway use") with the Matthew M. and Sandra T. Howard Family Trust on March 11, authorizing county maintenance for garbage collection and access by emergency-service vehicles.
Shane Parker, public works director, presented the agreement. A commissioner noted the county will maintain the roadway for garbage and emergency-service vehicles and asked that any maintenance costs be included in budget line items tied to garbage service. Parker confirmed maintenance costs will be handled through repairs and maintenance budgets. Another commissioner clarified that Sandra Howard named in the trust is not their relative.
The board moved and seconded approval and took a voice vote in favor. Commissioners asked staff to ensure costs are accounted for in future garbage-service budgeting and to track maintenance responsibilities for similar agreements going forward.
