ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />(4-0) authorized rejection of all bids on the <br />Round Island County Park Boat Ramp, Docks and <br />Daybeacons, as being exceedingly higher than <br />the original estimate and authorized Public <br />Works to rebid same after modification of the <br />plans, as recommended by staff. <br />DISCUSSION RE FOURTH STREET <br />Commissioner Wodtke noted that on the new 4th Street <br />intersection at Old Dixie, there is a curve in the road <br />there and there is also a big tree. When you pull up and <br />turn left, visibility is really bad. Also at the inter- <br />section of 4th Street and U.S.I, there are some trees and <br />foliage on the southwest corner that block the view. He <br />wished to know if there is any way we can get a deceleration <br />lane on U.S.I coming south rather than having to stop to <br />make that turn. <br />Public Works Director Davis reported that was included <br />in our application to the DOT, but we requested it be <br />delayed until Kimley Horne designs that whole intersection <br />so that we can do it along with the Boulevard project. We <br />do have a permit for the deceleration lane now, but would <br />rather wait until we see how the whole project looks. As <br />far as the foliage is concerned, that is in the DOT right- <br />of-way, and we are working to have it removed. The tree at <br />Old Dixie and 4th Street needs to come down, and Director <br />Davis stated that he would like to be authorized to take it <br />down, even though he hates to. He was not sure whether it <br />is in county right-of-way or not, but he assured the Board <br />that he will look into this whole situation. <br />31 <br />JUL 18 1984 57 FADE !44 <br />
