ROBBINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT ALTHOUGH THE DOT HAD INDICATED THEY WOULD PERFORM AN ADDITIONAL INSPECTION OF THE WABASSO BRIDGE TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS ANY DISCREPANCY, WHEN HE TALKED WITH MR.

ALLISON, WHO IS SPECIFICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE WABASSO BRIDGE, AND HE INTENDS TO INDICATE TO MR. ALLISON THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO PURSUE THIS MATTER FURTHER.

ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS INFORMED THE BOARD.THAT AS SOON AS THE FIRST RED FLAG REPORTS WERE RECEIVED, HE HAD THE ROAD R BRIDGE CREWS POST 5 -TON LOAD LIMITS ON THE SPECIFIED BRIDGES. HE THEN SHOWED THE BOARD A SAMPLE OF THE INDIVIDUAL REPORTS AND DOCUMENTA- TION ON EACH BRIDGE, WHICH CAN BE REFERRED TO IF THERE IS EVER A NEED FOR FEDERAL FUNDING. HE CONTINUED THAT HE HAS COMPLETED REPAIRS ON TWO OF THE BRIDGES AND STATED THAT IT IS HIS INTENTION TO CONTINUE WORKING ON ALL THE BRIDGES THAT ARE RED FLAGGED. HE NOTED THIS WILL RUN INTO MONEY AND THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO DETERMINE WHETHER WE CAN KEEP A RECORD OF COSTS AND BE REIMBURSED. COMMISSIONER LOY EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT WE CAN BE REIM- BURSED, BUT FELT WE MUST CONTINUE WITH THESE REPAIRS IN ANY EVENT. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION IN REGARD TO THE CONTRACT WITH THE ENGINEERS, IT WAS GENERALLY AGREED IT WOULD BE BETTER NOT TO TERMINATE THE PRESENT CONTRACT.
