Chairman Scurlock asked if one or two individuals would not give right-of-way, would that delay the whole project, and Director Davis advised that they would prefer to negotiate individually with the property owners, but if that was not fruitful, then they would have the option of condemning the right-of-ways. Chairman Scurlock did not want to see a situation where we have the plan, and then we find a reason for a delay.

He reported that they are implementing some of the projects now and are going to be able to save money on some of the projects. Administrator Wright emphasized that this is the capital improvement program that the Board"has approved and if we meet all the timeframes, we are going to have to borrow money. He thought it would be realistic at this point to decide to delete some of these projects or stretch out the timeframe to more closely coincide with the revenue cash-flow. Commissioner Wodtke felt that the County should analyze our needs on an annual basis, similar to what the DOT does, and perhaps somewhere in 1984 or 85, our priorities may change because of the availability of funds.
