Cairo board records decision to close end of Scott Road amid railroad ownership change
Summary
A resident asked about closing Scott Road; the minutes state the railroad owns the roadway's end and that the board "decided to close it off to avoid getting penalized for utilizing their property."
During the public portion of the Aug. 19 meeting, Delina Prather asked about closing off Scott Road. The minutes record that the railroad owns the end of Scott Road and that the railroad is in the process of changing ownership.
The minutes state "the board decided to close it off to avoid getting penalized for utilizing their property." The record does not include a roll-call vote or mover/second for that decision; it is recorded as a board choice in the meeting minutes, and any formal implementation (signage, barriers, or notifications to the railroad) would require follow-up by staff or a future agenda item.
