PUBLIC WORKS & AGREEMENTS 12-19-05
The Board discussed a draft maintenance agreement for the Hesper Charter Road Improvement District. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works/County Engineer, was present for the discussion. Roads within the Hesper Charter Road Improvement District (the District) were chip sealed in the summer of 2005. A maintenance agreement between Eudora Township, the District, and Douglas County is needed to define maintenance responsibilities and cost sharing for maintenance activities. Browning presented a draft maintenance agreement for discussion. It was the consensus of the Board to defer action until the Eudora Township Board has had the opportunity review and comment on the agreement. No action was taken.

Keith Browning, Director of Public Works/County Engineer, recommended that the Board continue the brokerage of a dust palliative program with an up front user fee of $1.00/linear foot ($0.62/l.f. for dust palliative material and an additional $0.38/l.f. user fee to cover road preparation costs), plus an administrative fee of $45.00 per applicant.

After discussion, Jones made a motion to grant permission to continue the brokerage of a dust palliative program with an up front user fee of $1.00/linear foot ($0.62/l.f. for dust palliative material and an additional $0.38/l.f. user fee to cover road preparation costs), plus an administrative fee of $45.00 per applicant; authorize treatment of additional roads to be funded by Road and Bridge Fund 201; and grant permission to advertise for bidders once the application process has been completed.
