1982 BOOK 5 <br />Rev. Edward Taylor approached the Board and discussed <br />his idea in greater detail. He advised that he had already <br />been to Tallahassee and to Washington and was told to come <br />back to the County to have his idea tested. <br />Jim Davis, Public Works Director, pointed out that this <br />would require obtaining approval from the Department of <br />Highways to experiment with traffic signs. He also felt it <br />would require considerable staff time for this experimental <br />process. <br />Commissioner Lyons interjected that unless there would <br />be a rather great educational program, no one would know <br />what the black bars meant. <br />Rev. Taylor commented that he would give the County <br />$3,000 to test this as he thought it would save a great many <br />lives. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked Commissioner Fletcher if his <br />Transportation Committee would care to entertain discussion <br />on this item. <br />Commissioner Fletcher responded negatively. <br />Commissioner Lyons felt it would take a lot more than <br />$3,000 in order to get this tested and get it adopted. <br />However, he felt it was a good idea. <br />The Administrator felt Rev. Taylor's idea was an <br />admirable one but felt the County was not big enough for the <br />testing to be done here - he felt it should be done on a <br />federal level. <br />A brief discussion ensued. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Fletcher, that the Board accept <br />staff's recommendation, and request that Mr. Davis <br />correspond with the Federal Highway Administration, <br />with the understanding that onlya minimum amount <br />of time be spent on this matter. <br />56 <br />
