= <br /> <br />ROAD ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />SEPTEMBER 3, 2002--1:40 PM <br /> <br />MEETING TO ORDER <br />Commissioner John Meyer called to order a meeting of the Road Advisory <br />Comm~ee at 1:40 PM, Tuesday, September 3, 2002, in the Commission Room, <br />Cass County Courthouse. The following members were present: Robyn Sorum, <br />John Meyer, Keith Bemdt, Rich Sieg, Jurgen Suhr and Mark Johnson. Alon <br />Wieland and Scott Wagner arrived later in the meeting. Donna Schneider and <br />Dennis Rust were absent. <br /> <br />2003 HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN <br />Mr. Berndt distributed handouts outlining proposed projects for 2003 that include <br />five overlay and three bridge projects. He reviewed the oveday projects with <br />board members. He said one project may have to be cut, depending on cost <br />figures after more detailed cost estimates are prepared. The City of Fargo will <br />pay half the cost of the overlay project on County 20 from 10th Street to County <br />81. Mr. Meyer feels that if the county does not repair some of the roads now, <br />the long-term costs will increase. <br /> <br />Mr. Bemdt reviewed the major bridge projects for next year. He noted that soil <br />samples taken show that the soils may not be conducive to box culverts unless <br />they am set on pile foundations. He is still reviewing the designs to see if <br />culverts or standard bridges are more cost effective. The City of West Fargo will <br />help pay for costs on the bridge from County 10 at the Sheyenne River. The <br />bridges on 40t~ Avenue South and 64th Avenue South at the Sheyenne River may <br />have to be special assessed to help cover costs. The increased use of the <br />bridges is due to new housing developments built in these areas in the last few <br />years. <br /> MOTION, passed <br /> Mr. Meyer moved and Mr. Suhr seconded to approve the 2003 <br /> Highway Improvement Plan as presented by the county engineer, <br /> contingent on federal funding for bridge projects and to authorize the <br /> Commission Chairman to sign federal aid program forms for three <br /> bridge projects scheduled for repair in 2003. Motion carried <br /> unanimously. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT MOTION, passed <br /> On motion by Mrs. Sorum, seconded by Mr. Sieg and all <br /> in favor, the meeting adjourned at 2:05 PM. <br /> <br /> <br />
