L 1 <br />1981OCT 10 <br />1952 agreement with the railroad, the FEC did agree to <br />switch the signals to 4th Street and open a new crossing if <br />the 4th Place crossing was abandoned. The County's cost at <br />that time to pave 4th Street did not include any costs to <br />the railroad. Therefore, the reason we are over budget now <br />is the work was done at 4th Street instead of 4th Place. <br />The additional construction was somewhat less than the <br />$45,000 estimate. To reconcile the total project they are <br />requesting the Board to allocate an additional $10,877 from <br />the Secondary Gas Tax Fund to the 4th Street construction <br />account. This includes all the crossing work that would <br />have been paid out of another account in the past. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the <br />Board authorize the transfer of $10,877 from the <br />Secondary Gas Tax Fund to fund #308 for the 4th <br />Street construction account. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke asked if we had <br />approved an estimate from the railroad on the 4th Street <br />crossing and Director Davis explained that we received an <br />estimate for the 4th Place work which was very close to the <br />4th Street work, but we did not actually receive an estimate <br />for 4th Street. <br />Administrator Wright asked Director Davis to prepare a <br />report for the Board showing the estimates and actual costs <br />for the past year. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if we had received any <br />indication from the railroad that they plan to rebuild any <br />existing crossings in the County in this next year, and <br />Director Davis replied that prior to budget time, he wrote <br />several letters asking for that information, but did not <br />receive any response. He did receive a letter over a year <br />55 <br />BOOK 8 FA;c 614 <br />
