Marshall County closes hearing on Warnock Road after road examiners report county has 'no interest' in the lane
Summary
At a public hearing on Warnock Road, road examiner Pagel reported the lane off Highway 62 is a narrow, roughly 580-foot gravel lane with grass in the center and no ditching or signage; the examiner concluded the county 'has no interest' and the court closed the hearing, scheduling a formal vote at the next meeting.
Marshall County Fiscal Court recessed for a public hearing on Warnock Road on Jan. 6 and heard a road examiner's inspection report finding the lane did not meet county standards and that the county had no interest in taking it into the county-maintained road system.
Mister Pagel reported that 'Casey, Roy, and I went out there' and described the lane as a narrow gravel lane '580 feet' long with grass down the center, 'no ditching, no signage,' and not listed with the State Highway Department for addressing. He said the inspection showed 'there's nothing there that suggests it could be ours' and that 'we concluded the county has no interest in this lane across from Warnick Road off 62.'
After the presentation the court moved to accept Andy's report and Casey as a substitute road examiner; the motion carried. The court then solicited public comment; James Lovett identified himself but the transcript shows no sustained opposition or a petitioner arguing county ownership. The court closed the public hearing and the county attorney noted the court must take a formal vote on the matter at the next meeting rather than at the hearing.
The record shows the court took testimony and inspection findings and preserved the right to vote later; no transfer of ownership or formal disclaimer was finalized during the Jan. 6 hearing.
