about the same thing. Mr. Snell's in written form and Mr. Polasek's is in chart form. Carr
wants to make sure that what is being proposed is attainable. Staff does feel that this is
attainable with the understanding that this is the first year and we may need to make minor
adjustments as we go through it.
Q. by Kirby: I see that there is modeling that needs to be done, can address what you visualize
being done for each of the roads? A by Sodgeroth/Benz: We have met with the consultants and
they understand what is needed. We will also have a worksheet for each project that needs to
be filled out which addresses Right of Way, Environmental, Cost, etc. That is what we are
working
on with the consultants to get all 30 projects done, then we can get model outputs.
Q by Carr: Is there any way that the Board can work with staff so we don't have any surprises
in March. A by Briggs: We could share the summary sheets and could send the updates via email
if Board would like that.
