Parish votes to recommend overlay for Turtle Beach–Little Flock; staff to provide cost estimates
Summary
Parish members recommended an asphalt overlay for Turtle Beach–Little Flock, discussed milling and rock placement, and asked staff for a detailed cost estimate; the motion passed after a voice vote and the project will be added to the district list subject to confirmed costs.
Speaker 4 introduced agenda item 10a (Turtle Beach to Little Flock) and described an asphalt overlay, noting a rough length of about a mile. Speaker 3 said pipeline-settlement funds from Kinder Morgan/Tennessee Gas had been used for earlier repairs and that some Turtle Beach work is already complete.
Members debated whether to shift PTA designation to Little Flock and whether that would remove previously promised projects from the PTA list. Speaker 4 said urgent need should guide prioritization: if a road is in "dire need" it can be prioritized even if it delays other projects. Staff will update the official project list so Turtle Beach and the Little Flock overlay appear correctly.
Before voting, Speaker 4 asked for an estimated cost; staff agreed to provide the estimate the next day. A motion was made (mover named in the transcript as Aaron; second named as Bruce) and the chair called the vote. The recommendation to proceed was approved by voice vote; the parish will confirm costs and schedule and may fit some work into the current year's schedule if feasible.
