V. Commissioner Tim Nance- Status of Rock Road Paving.
Commissioner Nance gave a brief history and situation concerning the paving of Rock
Road and discussed issues with the County immediately accepting the responsibility for
maintenance of the paved road. Commissioner Nance felt that the only way that the project
could go forward was for the MSTU to accept maintenance of the paved road until the time
that the loan was satisfied. It was also discussed that it was unlikely that any major
maintenance costs would be incurred during the life of the loan.

paved segment of Rock Road and to continue to do so until the County Loan is satisfied.
Seconded by Tom Brooks. Motion carried 3-0
VI. Project Manager's Report- Harry Sells
A. Budget Report
Harry Sells presented the FY 15 budget current through May 20, 2015. He noted that the
MSTU has expended $7,113 on maintenance of the side roads and have approximately
$55,000 in cash accumulated in anticipation of paving Rock Road. Mr. Sells noted that the
MSTU budget has been amended to include $260,000 in line item, Improvements General
for to cover the roadway paving.
Mr. Sells also presented a fifteen year proposed budget showing a$15,000 annual loan
payment and the cash balance at the beginning of each year. The estimates may vary
depending on how much of the existing cash is used to pay for the paving and how much
the actual paving cost is. The budget office will tell MSTU staff how much of the cash
balance will be used to make an initial payment to the loan. Staff will advise the
Committee about the cost of the project as soon as the road is paved. The proposed budget
allocates $9,000 - $11,000 per year to maintain the side roads.
B. Paving Report
A preliminary paving schedule was presented. The projected time table was a month or so
after the budget amendment was approved. Staff is coordinating with Travis Gossard,
Road & Bridges Director to provide a more accurate time table.
C. Future Maintenance Plan
Maintenance of the 3.75 miles of side roads was discussed, including what maintenance
had previously been done and what could be done on the various roads. Mr. Sells
presented a map of the side roads for the Committee's review. The issue was raised that
some of the roads were overgrown with vegetation making it difficult for the trucks and
equipments to pass and do the work needed to maintain the roads. One community
member noted that they would ensure that their road was cleared.
A Motion was made by Chuck Wilson to apply gravel to Keri Island East, Shady Lane, and
Rock Road between Mingo Drive and Keri Island for a cost not to exceed $10,000.
Seconded by Tom Brooks. Passed 3-0
