ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS DISCUSSED WITH THE BOARD THE DOT'S RECOM- MENDED IMPROVEMENTS TO STATE ROAD 512 AT THE NEW NORTH COUNTY MIDDLE/.JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. THESE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED WITH SUPERINTENDENT MCCLURE AT THE MEETING OF AUGUST 18, 1976, AT WHICH TIME NO COST FIGURES WERE AVAILABLE. THE ADMINISTRATOR INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE DOT HAD THE PLANS DRAWN UP TO PRIMARY ROAD SPECIFICATIONS AND CAME UP WITH A COST OF $$0,000 TO $90,000. THE DOT DOES NOT HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THIS. THE ADMINISTRATOR NOTED THAT WHAT IS MAINLY NEEDED FOR THE SCHOOL WHEN IT IS OPENED ARE THE HOLDING LANES.

THEY WOULD CLEAR THE ADDITIONAL RIGHT-OF-WAY, MOVE THE DITCHES OVER, HAUL IN THE FILL, DO THE GRADING AND SET EVERYTHING UP FOR THE COUNTY TO PUT ON THE WEARING SURFACE. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS CONTINUED THAT THE SOIL CEMENT BASE WOULD RUN ABOUT $7,425, AND THE ASPHALT (APPROXIMATELY 375-380 TONS) WOULD BE ABOUT $9,000, OR A TOTAL OF BETWEEN $16,000 -$16,500. THE DOT MAINTENANCE DE- PARTMENT CAN ALSO DO THE STRIPING AND MARKING, ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS ASKED THE BOARD IF THEY WISH TO PROCEED IN THIS MANNER; ALSO WHERE THE MONEY WILL COME FROM; AND IF THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL ENTER INTO IT. HE NOTED THAT IF THE ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT HAS $16,500 TO SPEND ON THIS PROJECT, WE CAN HAVE THESE HOLDING LANES BUILT ACCORDING TO THE PLANS PREPARED BY THE DOT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF THE DOT DOES THE WORK, WOULD IT COME OUT OF OUR SECONDARY ROAD FUNDS? ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND A PENNY BECAUSE THIS IS ON THE PRIMARY ROAD SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM IS THE TIMING BECAUSE THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO OPEN IN SEPTEMBER. HE NOTED THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW OF ANY LESS EXPENSIVE OR QUICKER WAY TO GET THIS WORK DONE THAN AS SUGGESTED ABOVE AND STATED HE IS COUNTING ON THE SCHOOL BOARD COM- ING OUT AND TYING TO THE PAVEMENT.
