Summary

Commissioners agreed to pursue next steps on a county road study using Road Commission option 2 if the Road Commission bears costs, and asked for details on prior spending by the Road Commission before proceeding.

Commissioner Robert Baldwin recommended the Board of Commissioners conduct its own study of county road needs and presented three options. Commissioners debated whether the county should fund additional studies and questioned the Road Commission's prior investments.

Commissioner Scott Matley moved that the board consider next steps with the Road Commission using 'option 2' as discussed, provided any associated costs be incurred by the Road Commission; the motion passed by consensus. Commissioner David Comai asked administration to provide information on what the Road Commission has already spent on studies.

The motion does not authorize county funding for construction or final design; it instructs the board and administration to coordinate with the Road Commission to clarify next steps and ask for cost transparency before any county expenditure is approved.
