Public Comments

·       Nina brought up problem of logs across Skila and sign that it is a private road.  Residents encouraged to let Stu know when this occurs.  Skila is a public platted road.

·       Ron brought up issue of annexing no mans land into RSA.  Would be good for our RSA by increasing tax base and road maintenance would allow school bus from Salcha and mail would come into RSA.  Ron and Robyn will write letter for rural services to send out to find out interest of residents in that area

·       Robyn discussed problem of low speed limit on straight stretches of road and reported police presence at turnout at 3 mile with road users pulled over on straight stretch.  Nina reported that she was told by DOT that EFR is 40 MPH road.  Consensus of commissioners that 35 MPH is appropriate
