Roads----Interim Chairman, Bruce Kelleher:  Bruce reported that no monies were spent this past month on the roads. Snow removal did not have to take place. It was noted that some residents assisted this by removing snow on their own. Although greatly appreciated, it was noted that some spots had the gravel removed as well.  At this time all road repair has been completed (tar and chip). A future study may need to be done to establish future target areas of concern.  A concern was raised that Bruce needs to be relieved of this chair since he is serving on the Board as well This committee needs to find a new chairman.  A request involving the replacement of street signs was made. Kay had done some research with the county government and was informed that they no longer provide the service of preparing “Private Road” signs. Some council members are going to further explore what the county will do, via the county website and report back.

Old Business:

Gore Dog Kennels—Kay Hayes reported that while following up the progress of a pending building permit to relocate kennels, there is no such request on file with the county.
