TO-TheHonorable Members of the <br />DATE: m- 13, 1981 -FILE: <br />- ay <br />Board of -County Commi.ssioners- <br />SUBJECT: -policy on the Acceptance by the County <br />for. - Mai htbnance of U.nmai..ntai ned- Roads <br />FROM: Nei -1 A. Nelson, REFERENCES: <br />County Administrator <br />DESCRIPTIONAND CONDITIONS <br />Periodically, the County -is requested to -accept unmaintained roads for County <br />dedication and maintenance. Roads to be accepted must meet current County Spec- <br />ifications. To formulate a policy on handling these requests, the Department <br />of Public Works has drafted an evaluation form to use in formulating recommend- <br />ations. The 'form is based on a point system which takes into consideration con- <br />ditions of the road, drainage, right-of-way width, school bus routes, and a <br />number of parameters. A perfect score of 195 for a paved road is applicable. <br />Request for County acceptance.of an unpaved road would be handled as a speci6l <br />--exception by the Board. This exception would be evaluatedthroughthe use of <br />this form. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />One way to base the recommendation- on the evaluation form is to recommend <br />approval if the sum of the points assigned for a particular road exceed half <br />of the perfect score or 97.5 for a paved road. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that the attached evaluation form be accepted in recom- <br />mending maintenance of a non maintained road by Indian River -County. <br />There are no funding considerations to be considered for this matter. <br />
