RECOMN ENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Since the only accident on record for this intersection was due <br />to careless driving, it is recommended that no improvements be funded by the <br />County on State Road A -1-A. If funding by St. Edwards School is available, <br />the County may donate the cost of Engineering and permitting for the construction <br />of a turning lane. The estimated in-kind contribution for this service is <br />approximately $1,000. <br />Dale Sorensen, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of St. <br />Edward's School, came before the Board to discuss the matter <br />and felt that both improved signs and turning lanes would <br />greatly alleviate the dangerous situation at this <br />intersection. He added that their school serves 365 <br />families and serves a useful function in the community. Mr. <br />Sorensen then requested the Board's assistance in putting in <br />a turning lane and improving the signs at the intersection. <br />Engineer Phillip Lloyd, representing St. Edward's <br />School, stated that the price for the deceleration and the <br />left turning lane, obtained from Dickerson, Inc., was <br />approximately $33,000. <br />Lengthy discussion followed concerning the price of <br />this project. <br />Mr. Sorensen felt.it was in the best interest of the <br />whole South County area to have this work done. <br />The Chairman then asked Engineer Davis if he felt the <br />work could be done for less than $33,000. <br />Mr. Davis responded that he felt, based on past work <br />done on U.S. #1, that it could cost between $16,000 to <br />$33,000. <br />Engineer Lloyd interjected that there was new criteria <br />to be considered, and now the road must be resurfaced. <br />Engineer Davis stated that he had not been aware of <br />this. <br />Commissioner Wodtke suggested looking into the <br />possibility of a joint effort to get the work done. <br />MAR 3 1982 <br />
