Discussion continued regarding liability, etc., and Adminis- trator Wright asked whether there are bridges other than 20th Avenue that need to be posted now. Director Davis replied that based upon the operating rating there were not, but if you are at the inventory rating, which is the rating at which vehicles can comfortably use the structure repeatedly with no restrictions, then about 30 should be posted. He emphasized that as you approach the operating loading, then the life of the structure will decrease and you are superimposing a heavier load than the structure is designed for. Commissioner Scurlock noted that we levied a 24 gas tax, and we could have gone higher. That could be a potential source of revenue to repair or replace these bridges. He believed the citrus industry will be paying a substantial part of that gas tax and felt there should be a coordinated effort between us as we all want to be sure the fruit can still move in a safe way. Commissioner Wodtke felt that is the intention of the citrus growers, and he was sure the League will work with us in an expeditious manner. Possibly, they can route their trucks to deal with this where they can cross certain bridges when they are empty and others when they are loaded, and he believed we can work on setting some priorities and doing some repairs. Commis- sioner Wodtke indicated that he would be happy'to work with Director Davis on this. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. CHANGE OF MEETING TIME FOR THE REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 27TH Administrator Wright informed the Board that we have a light agenda next week, and one of the items is a presentation by the golf course architect. We need to have a Golf Course Advisory Committee meeting prior to the meeting, and he would like to change the meeting time to start at 10:30 A.M. 49 NOV 2 U 198-5.11 EDOK� PECK 5 ®I
