BOOK 56-, PACE1 7 > <br />Commissioner Lyons continued that, on the other hand, <br />he does feel this assessment could set a dangerous <br />precedent. He expressed the hope that we could get a <br />petition from the residents requesting this improvement, so <br />we could avoid setting a precedent, but stated that he would <br />vote against this because it is a state road. - <br />Administrator Wright noted the- only other alternatives <br />would be either to abandon the project or pay for it with <br />County funds. <br />Commissioner Wodtke commented that he did not have any <br />problem with setting a precedent as he believed the <br />opportunity we have and the ultimate benefit justify the <br />project, and he intends to vote for it. _ <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that he also will vote for the <br />assessment as it was recommended by the Transportation <br />Planning Committee and he feels strongly that it is a <br />positive. 'The only element he questioned is whether some <br />portion should be paid for by the general citizens of the <br />county who just travel through the area. <br />Administrator Wright noted that the County is picking <br />up about 8% for this, or about $2,000. <br />Commissioner Bird informed those present that he also <br />planned to vote in support of the improvement. He felt the <br />Committee was wise in recommending it to improve safety and <br />the flow of traffic and felt he can live with setting a <br />precedent as he believed it will benefit all those living in <br />this area equally. <br />Commissioner Bowman agreed that the job must be done <br />now so we don't .miss this opportunity, and stated that she <br />was not concerned about setting a precedent. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Wodtke, Commissioner Lyons <br />voting in opposition, the Board by a 4 to 1 <br />36 <br />� s <br />e <br />
