ROAD ADVISORY COMMITTEE, Recommendations approved on County Road 16 A memo was received from County Engineer Keith Berndt dated April 23rd~ 1993, requesting approval of the Road Advisory Committee recommendations concerning County Road 16 west of Davenport, in accordance with a motion passed by the Road Advisory Committee at a meeting held April 22, 1993. Mr. Eckert asked to move this item from the consent agenda. His concern is that the people in the Davenport area should have a firm commitment by the county on what improvements will be made on this road. He said proposed enhancements to the road were mentioned at the committee meeting and he wants this spelled out in the commission minutes. Mr. Wieland said the Road Advisory Committee was very specific in the recommendations that were approved on April 22nd. Mr. Berndt's memo of April 23rd said it was agreed that the acquisition of additional right of way on the north side of the road for three miles adjacent to the deteriorated Cass Rural Electric poles would be included and that minor ditch cleaning would be performed as necessary to provide adequate drainage. MOTION, failed Motion was made by Mr. Eckert to approve the Road Advisory Committee recommendations regarding County Road 16 west of Davenport with the following specifics as outlined by the road engineer: 1) it was agreed upon by the Road Advisory Committee that three miles of additional right-of-way be obtained on the north side where the rural electric poles are to be moved; 2) the dike that will be county property at whatever time this is to be accomplished be maintained and made more safe because there is a sharp bank that can create a safety problem; 3) drainage is addressed in the proposal and should be taken care of to a satisfactory condition on all of the five miles of road west of Davenport; and 4) that wherever possible, measures be taken to improve safety in these five miles of County Road 16 west of Davenport.
