The meeting was recessed, and reconvened on Tuesday,
August 10, 1982. All members were again present.
Lazy C Road and Drainage Problems: Lyle Tinker reported
to the Boar t at two cul de sacs in ivision 3 and Rocky Brook Road
are in very poor condition and are so narrow that they present a
danger when used by logging trucks. The Board informed Mr. Tinker
that the County does not own any additional right-of-way on this road
and, therefore, cannot widen the road. They will, however, see about
having the road graded. Mr. Tinker asked the Board to write a letter
stating that the County would require additional right-of-way in order
to widen the road so that community members can approach the resident
who owns the land needed for right-of-way.
Mr. Tinker went on to report on flooding problems on lots in Division 1.
The culvert going under the County road causes water to run onto the
lots instead of into the creek, because of the way it is angled. The
Board stated that, if they are given permission to work on the private
property adjacent to the road, they can probably have backhoe work done
to correct the problem.

made a motion, which ommissioner Mercer seconded, to appoint Lyle
Tinker to this committee as a replacement for Gordon Koffran.
Unanimous.
