William Compton of the Holly Hill Subdivision in Bingham Township requested permission to address the Board regarding a road matter. The Board asked Mr. Compton to present his road matter at this time. Mr. Compton inquired about the possibility of the County helping residents of non-state maintained roads bring their roads up to State standards in order that the State will then take the roads over. Mr. Compton suggested that the Board accomplish this by assessing the pro- perty owners along the road for their portion of cost to improve the road through an owner participation program. The County Manager informed the Board that the Department of Trans- portation has no funds for such a. program, that the cost would be solely that of the property owner. The County Attorney explained to the Board that he felt they could provide such a program to property owners if they so desired, however, he suggested a commitment be received prior to such action from the bepartment of Transportation. The consensus of the Board was that Mr. Compton attempt to gather additional information from the Department of Transportation and that the County Manager add this subdivision road to the owner participation pro- . gram list for improvement.
