Brandon K, the countys public-works director, said the grant supplies the materials and that the county will have six months after receipt to install and then maintain the signs and markings. "This project will supply the county with all the materials, and as part of the agreement, once the county receives the materials, we have 6 months to install, set equipment, and then we will it's on us to maintain and replace as it wears out," Brandon said. The commission moved and approved acceptance and signature of the KDOP agreement.
