The Press-Dispatch Wednesday, June 20, 2012 H Commissioners close road; issue burn ban A-7 and that they refrain from us- ing aerial firework devices. Commissioner President Continued from page 1 Mark Flint said at the next meeting they would deter- mine if they needed to ex- tend it. It was approved by a 3-0 vote. ROAD CLOSURE APPROVED far southwest corner of the county was approved and will be mined by United Minerals. It was the third consecutive meeting the commissioners had dis- cussed the road. Part of the agreement calls for United Minerals to reconstruct the road after they mine through it. Com- missioners have disagreed about how wide the road was to be built. Commissioner Dale Nal- ley wanted United Miner- als to remove trees and cut down banks along the road and widen it to 22 feet. Rich Montgomery of Unit- Highway Superintendent Bobby Joe Morton said he talked with landowners Dave Yager and Harold Halley. He said they wanted the road to be put back to 16 feet wide. Nalley argued the county ed Minerals has said the road is now 14 feet wide, and they would be putting back a much better road than what the county has now. At the previous meeting ing about is how wide and whether or not we are go- ing to put in fabric cloth?" asked Commissioner Pres- ident Mark Flint. "I want the road to be 16 has required other mining companies to put back roads to 24 feet wide and put down filter fabric. "So, what we are talk- feet wide," said Dave Yag- er, who is a property owner along the road. Yager said the road is only Dad deserves more than one day!

"Where you turn onto this is more like 28 feet," said Nalley. "But then it narrows back understanding a farmer couldn't get his combine down the road because of the trees along the side of it. "We need to decide on the down," said Davis. Nalley said it was his width, how many inches of rock and it is already in the agreement that filter fabric won't be used," said Flint. He then asked Yager if bines are at least 17 feet wide. Yager agreed he could where. We have heard it from Mr. Yager. Building a 22-foot road in there just doesn't make sense," said Flint. Nalley again complained live with 18 feet but said he didn't want to. "This is a road to no- MSRP $35,870 Special Price $ $ 2,250 Consumer Cash OR 0% APR for 60 Months OR Lease For $ 389 per mo.

If they were coming in here and putting a road in- to more populated areas, then a wider road would be need- ed," said Davis. Flint asked Montgom- need to be able to decide on a case-by-case basis," said Davis. "I think everything looks "It is a different case. We seconded by Flint and ap- proved by a 2-1 vote. Nal- ley, the lone Democrat on the commissioners, voted against the agreement. In other business the ery of United Minerals how much soil cap and rock they were going to put on the road. "I was thinking six inch- asking for a motion to make the road 16 feet wide with eight inches of soil and eight inches of rock. Davis moved and it was es of soil and six inches of rock," said Montgomery. Flint then said he was commissioners learned they had received a $639,000 grant to replace all the road signs in Pike County. The county's cost will be 10 per- cent of that. Commission- er Assistant Melissa Bry- ant said the engineering on the project was being done. She said they are ahead of schedule on the project and think it could be let for bids in December. • New state law banning said he wanted a "desig- nated smoking area" cre- ated at the courthouse. He designated area near the back entrance to the court- house auditorium. Flint asked Auditor Ron said when he drives by, he sees smokers congregat- ing outside the entrances to the courthouse. "People still have to walk past them," said Davis. He suggested they put a state minimum of requiring smoking at least eight feet from the entrances would be fine in those locations. "I guess we can pass this and then we can always cre- ate a designated area later," said Davis. It was approved by a 3-0 Wilson if he thought that ar- ea would work. Wilson said he didn't think most employ- ees would walk all the way over to that area. "I'm fine with a designat- smoking was adopted. "We have to do it,' said Bryant. Commissioner Davis asked about the jail and county highway garage. Davis said because they ed smoking area. I just want to make sure we put it in the right area," said Flint. Commissioner Nalley weren't nearly as public, he thought just doing the dent Bobby Joe Morton said he was having a prob- lem with a timber cutter driving heavy loads on a county road. He said four county highway employees were at the blacktop plant on CR800E when they said a tri-level truck loaded with timber came down the road. Morton said three of them vote. • Highway Superinten- saw the name on the truck and a fourth saw the truck but not a name on it. Morton said he contacted the own- er of the company name on the truck. Morton said that person said it wasn't their truck. However, Morton said he drove all over that area looking for another timber cutting outfit working in the area and couldn't find any- one else. He also said CR300W has been damaged by crews working on I-69. He said an earlier agreement basi- cally states any roads they damage are supposed to be fixed. But because of the se- vere damage, it is going to be expensive and INDOT wants to work out a differ- ent arrangement. "You can wave that agree- meeting is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Monday, July 2. ment at them and see how far it will get us," said Flint. The next commissioner get
