The requests will be provided to the County Road Commission to obtain the cost of the requested work.

Public Comments: Emergency routes should be a priority. Something should be done to 56th Street as the road is in bad shape and emergency vehicles would have a hard time driving down the road. Fire Chief agreed with the concern and condition of 56th Street. There appears to be a drainage problem on the road.

Adjourned: At 5:10 p.m.
