Public Works Assistant Director Clint Curtis gave an update on existing projects and upcoming work. They are preparing for the upcoming storms. There is a bridge in Fruitland that needs to be repaired. They cleaned up the old crusher pit. It looked like people were dumping there instead of taking them to the landfill. They will hang no dumping signs to help deter future dumping. The Forest Service is fixing the bridge by the Boys Ranch; he would like to widen the road to match the standard of the bridge.

Public Works Assistant Director Clint Curtis presented a Residential/Commercial Approach Permit for the Lee and Paula Fausett Family Trust. Assistant Curtis stated he had been to the property and approved the approach. The parties discuss the permit.

Commissioner Miles made a motion to approve the road approach permit as presented and allow the chair to sign on behalf of the County. Commissioner Killian seconded the motion. Commissioner Miles voted aye, Commissioner Killian voted aye, and Commissioner Hansen voted aye. The motion passed.
