roadbed redeveloped so that we end up with a 2 -lane road being <br />something we can live with until the 4 -lane road is built. <br />However, we have not received any assurance that is going to <br />M <br />occur, and it is very important that if any money is going to be <br />spent on that road, we don't just put asphalt on top of the <br />existing base. If they do that, we will have the same kind of <br />dips in the road in about 18 months that we have now. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis reported that he met with <br />the DOT last week and they are very aware of the public's concern <br />over the safety of SR -60. They have just published the adopted <br />work program for 1991-92 through 1995-96 and have included a <br />project to add two lanes and reconstruct 22.5 miles of SR -60. <br />They have included $825,000 in fiscal year 1993 for planning and <br />preliminary work. There is almost $6 -million programmed in <br />fiscal year 1995-96 using the $5.5 million in bond money from the <br />new program for advance right-of-way acquisition that the Legis- <br />lature approved a few years ago. Their concern is that if they ., <br />try to move quicker than 1993, they wouldn't be able to get the <br />necessary preliminary work done soon enough. Another concern <br />pertains to the $9 -million they already have programmed; they are <br />afraid that because some of that is federal aid money, they may <br />lose it if the feds see that we are programming the 4 -laving <br />sooner than that. The State DOT doesn't feel they can meet a <br />quicker schedule regardless. <br />Commissioner.Scurlock asked if $9 -million includes doing <br />something to the base, and Director Davis advised that he needed <br />to get particulars on that. He has not seen the final plans, but <br />usually they mill the base along with the asphalt if they feel <br />there is a base problem. They have to prove to the federal <br />government that what they are spending money on in the <br />resurfacing will work. If the feds are not convinced it will <br />work, they will have to rework the base anyway. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wanted to see us get a commitment from <br />the DOT to do that, but Director Davis could assure him that <br />45 <br />AUG 0 1991 �ooK �::,r 7 <br />
