Summary

Commissioners and residents discussed damage to Quartz Road from a semi, possible signage at Highway 81, and the broader question of moving from a hybrid township/county road system to a county-wide system. No formal action was taken on road-system changes.

Resident David Crosson reported on a Nov. 10 water meeting and raised concerns about monitoring wells and county roads; he described recent damage caused by a semi on Quartz Road and said the trucking company and Schwartz Farms were expected to reimburse for damage.

Commissioner Duane Morris asked about moving to a complete county road system rather than the current hybrid arrangement, and Public Works Administrator Chris Smith answered questions about the current system. The discussion focused on options and signage needs; the commission did not adopt a formal change at the meeting.
