SEP 51979 BOOK 41 pa°`498 ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON DISCUSSED THE CULVERT AT 90TH AVENUE AND CITRUS ROAD WITH THE BOARD. HE CONTINUED THAT THIS CULVERT IS NOT SAFE - WHAT IS NEEDED IS A VERY LONG CULVERT PIPE WHICH WOULD COST FROM $10,000 TO $12,000, AND WHICH WOULD REQUIRE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING. ASSISTANT ADMINIS- TRATOR NELSON RECOMMENDED THAT WE OBTAIN'THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING EXPERTISE REQUIRED FOR THIS PROJECT, AND COORDINATE IT WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT, TO LAY THE PIPE BEFORE THE FRUIT SEASON GETS INTO OPERATION. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDA- TION OF THE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR AND PROCEED WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROJECT. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON DISCUSSED A RESOLUTION FROM THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN TO THE DOT FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON STATE ROAD 512 AT THE INTERSECTION OF STATE ROAD 5 (U.S. #1). COMMISSIONER Loy COMMENTED THAT THE COUNTY DOES NOT MAINTAIN TRAFFIC SIGNALS ON STATE ROADS WITHIN MUNICIPALITIES. SHE SUGGESTED THAT SINCE THE POLICY CANNOT BE CHANGED TODAY, THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN SHOULD CONTACT THE DOT FOR A SURVEY AND A TRAFFIC STUDY. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE WOULD DRAFT A LETTER TO MAYOR FLOOD IN THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN REGARDING, THIS MATTER. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON REPORTED TO THE BOARD THAT 90% OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN THE COUNTY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY THE HURRICANE, AND SIGNAL CONSTRUCTION CO. HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS FACT. HE STATED THAT FOUR-WAY STOP SIGNS ARE BEING PLACED WHERE THERE ARE MALFUNCTIONING TRAFFIC SIGNALS. COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH HAD BROUGHT IN REINFORCEMENTS FROM OTHER CITIES NOT HIT BY THE HURRICANE TO HELP WITH RESTORATION OF ELECTRIC POWER, AND ASKED IF SIGNAL CONSTRUCTION CO. HAD ANY SUCH REINFORCEMENTS. THE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR WAS UNCERTAIN ABOUT WHETHER THEY DID OR NOT.
