Commissioners authorize ballots for Oaktree Ranch Estates road improvement assessment
Summary
After a public hearing about safety and private‑road condition, the court approved sending ballots to subdivision property owners to vote on a county‑fronted improvement (0% interest over 10 years) with one vote per lot and equal assessment per lot.
Commissioner Holt moved and the court approved sending ballots to all record owners in Oaktree Ranch Estates so residents can vote whether to proceed with county‑administered road improvements that would be assessed back to property owners. County staff explained the program: the county would improve the road, record a lien for the pro‑rata assessment, and allow property owners to pay the assessment over 10 years at 0% interest. Finance staff said the total project estimate is approximately $350,000.
Commissioners discussed voting mechanics (one vote per lot), how to compute the maximum assessment, and the need to send ballots by certified mail. The court’s motion specified that ballots must state the maximum potential assessment and indicated staff will send detailed ballots within required timelines; the motion carried 5-0.
