Ohio County Fiscal Court accepts 350-foot Hocker/Hawker Street extension into county road system
Summary
The Ohio County Fiscal Court voted to accept a 350-foot gravel segment of Hocker (also referred to as Hawker) Street into the county road system after a road-viewing committee recommended the addition.
Ohio County Fiscal Court voted to accept a 350-foot segment of Hocker Street (referred to in the viewing report as Hawker Street) into the county road system during its September meeting.
The road-viewing committee reported it inspected the segment behind Wendy's and recommended taking the 16-foot-wide, gravel portion into the county system. After a motion to accept the roadway and a second, the court took a voice vote and approved the extension.
The committee indicated the stretch is currently gravel. In discussion, a member confirmed, “That’s gravel right now.” Court members did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the judge declared the motion carried after members answered “aye.”
Court members said the extension will add the segment to the county-maintained network; no timetable for upgrades or paving was specified. The transcript includes discussion limited to the recommendation and the formal motion; there was no detailed cost estimate or construction schedule presented during the meeting.
The approval came as part of the road committee reports, when Jason Burton presented the committee’s viewing. The action was taken by motion and voice vote; the transcript does not record a numeric roll-call for this specific motion.
