good cooperation from the Sheriff's office, from the School <br />Board, the Drainage District, etc. <br />Commissioner Eggert wished to know, even with these repairs, <br />how long it will be before the bridges will have to be replaced. <br />Director Davis advised that we haven't actually installed <br />the sleeves yet, but we are confident it can be done. This is a <br />standard problem with steel bridges. The sleeves would be much <br />stronger than the original pilings; so, they could Last indefin- <br />itely, but these are old bridges. <br />Commissioner Eggert stressed that she just did not want us <br />to be pennywise and pound foolish by repairing beyond the point <br />where we should be replacing the bridges. <br />Administrator Chandler noted that is one of the reasons we <br />are talking to the contractor working for the City today. <br />Director Davis agreed, and advised that there are other <br />elements of the bridges beyond the pilings that are not up to <br />current state standards. <br />Commissioner Bird believed Commissioner Eggert is saying <br />don't make repairs to last 30 years, if the bridges have to be <br />replaced in 3 years, and Administrator Chandler assured the Board <br />that staff will continue to explore this. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked if the wooden bridges don't have a <br />longer life than the steel bridges, and Director Davis confirmed <br />that we haven't had as many problems with them. We are better <br />able to maintain them, and most of our bridges are wooden <br />bridges. There are only 5 or 6 of these steel pile bridges. <br />William Koolage, interested citizen, wished to know whether <br />these are the bridges that came back to the county from the state <br />that they gave us 1/4(P in gas tax to maintain, and Director Davis <br />confirmed these are those bridges. <br />Administrator Chandler requested that the Board declare that <br />this was an emergency situation and give retro -active approval to <br />the contract with Knight & Mathis for bridge repairs. <br />DEC 1989 51 <br />EOOK 78 f,+a <br />
