W <br />Mr. Ellis Pinder, concerned parent of St. Edward's <br />Upper School, addressed the Board and explained the <br />dangerous entrance off AIA to St. Edward's School. H�e noted <br />that the County had previously cooperated in paying pt of <br />the costs of installing wider concrete approaches to :the <br />school. He asked if the Commission would agree to <br />contribute 25% of the $5,000 cost to install a blinkerlight <br />at the entrance of the school, which would amount to $1,250. <br />Mr. Pinder stressed how extremely dangerous this entrance <br />was, especially at night when many activities are scheduled. <br />Commissioner Scurlock reported that the Transportation <br />Committee had discussed this matter and recommended that the <br />Board not oppose the installation of the traffic signal <br />blinker light at this location, but felt it was a policy <br />decision for the Commission as to the funding, and did not <br />take a stand. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked Mr. Davis if the County <br />would have to turn down any priority requests for traffic <br />lights if they approved this particular light. Mr. Davis <br />did not feel this small expenditure would have any effect on <br />funding future lights if they are allowed to take the money <br />out of the Road & Bridge Materials account, which has <br />certain contingencies that are available. <br />Commissioner Wodtke felt that since a school is <br />involved, the County should cooperate in funding the small <br />cost of the light. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />the Board unanimously authorized the <br />County's 25% participation in funding a <br />caution light at the entrance to <br />25 <br />APR 2 0 1983 <br />A <br />53 PACE 253 <br />
