-1 <br />BOOK 5 9 ur,F.21, <br />Commissioner Wodtke felt we should talk it out because in <br />that $22 figure there is a lot of culvert, drainage, and grass <br />work other than just the asphalt and the base cost. <br />Director Davis agreed and explained that the asphalt and <br />base cost the County about $4.60 a square yard, and if you <br />figure it at 2.2 square yards, it comes to $9 or $10 a linear <br />foot for the roadway itself - the other $10 is for earthwork, <br />sodding, etc. <br />Commissioner Wodtke thought that we had to consider all the <br />work in the $10 figure. <br />Administrator Wright felt that the County is getting a <br />significantly better deal than we do in most petitions and <br />suggested that Director Davis work with Trodglen and bring it <br />back to the Board in two weeks. <br />Director Davis suggested he do the design of the road and <br />the cost estimate and then take a look at the County's 25% <br />share. <br />Commissioner Wodtke felt that if we are considering going <br />out there and putting in culverts, seed and grass, then perhaps <br />we should decide that some things don't need to be done at $22 a <br />linear foot and the cost could be cut to perhaps 250 of $18 a <br />linear foot. <br />Mr. Price explained that this road does not front either <br />his or Mr. Trodglen's property, and they are only building the <br />road for access to an easement that is already paved that leads <br />into their yards. He reported that they have done a cost <br />analysis on materials alone. and it would be just slightly over <br />$10,000 out of pocket money for asphalt and the cement. So, <br />even if the County pays $8415 along with doing all of the labor <br />to construct the road, they are still going to have to come up <br />with approximately $1,000 each regardless of how the road is <br />designed. In order words, some costs are not going to change. <br />49 <br />
