HE.SUGGESTED THAT IT MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO CALL IN CONSULTANTS BECAUSE WE NEED TO MOVE ON WITH IT. COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED THAT PERMITTING IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR PART OF THE SITUATION AND FELT THE BOARD NEEDS TO KNOW ALL THE STEPS THAT WILL HAVE TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE WE CAN LET A CONTRACTOR BUILD THIS ROAD, WHICH IS A MAJOR AND NECESSARY ROAD. SHE POINTED OUT THAT*WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE POSITION BEFORE WHERE WE HAVE HAD TO CONSTRUCT MAJOR ROADS OR WORK WITH CONSULTANTS AND SUGGESTED THAT THE BOARD ASK THE ADMINISTRATOR TO PUT TOGETHER A REPORT TO GIVE US SOME IDEA OF WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS CONCURRED THAT THIS WORK SHOULD BE DONE WITH CONSULTANTS FOR A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME OR UNTIL THE BOARD FEELS THAT THEY ARE READY TO SET UP AN "IN-HOUSE" ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. HE SUGGESTED THAT IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO HAVE CONSULTANTS ON INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS TO BEGIN WITH. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS CONTINUED THAT BEFORE ANYTHING CAN BE BUILT, IT IS NECESSARY TO ASCERTAIN THAT THE RIGHTS-OF-WAY ARE ALL COMPLETE, AND HE FELT IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET WITH OUR ATTORNEY AND SET UP PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO WORK ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ANGLE AND FOLLOW THROUGH.
