up and the EPA consultant Oared Johnson out of Colorado) being

alternatives for the site. The site visit is planned for Tuesday 7/22/14.

not looking possible but County cost is unclear at this point. There

to the county. Grant asked Smallwood to look for a meeting tape from
2009. Bridges presented a response from Shelby Carlson regarding

will be added as soon as possible. The letter indicated that Lane 12 will

10 foot gate will be installed there. There was discussion about panel

temporary markers for the time being, as the road was scheduled for

the road is currently closed. Emergency approval has been granted

Don McNiven - Burlington Resident: McNiven reported an ac-
cident near his house on Road 10 and asked about lowering speed
limits and about placing yield signs on Road 10, Road 8, and Lane 39.
He offered to pay for the signs near his house. McNiven pointed to
Basin Gardens is an example of the proper signage and speed limits.
Bridges explained the process for setting speed limits. Ewen asked
Bridges for his professional opinion regarding the area in question.
Bridges stated that 35 mph is not necessary and not enforceable. He
believes that 45 is a legitimate speed. McNiven stated he thinks yields
and no speed signs would fix the problem. Bridges stated yield signs
and caution signs are possible. Hyde said the point is well taken and
the concern needs to be looked into. Ewen requested Bridges look
into the issue. Grant suggested searching for the speed study that
was done when Ken Fink was with the County. Ewen expressed ap-
preciation to McNiven for voicing his concern.

the Library report and bills to be paid. There was discussion about
