5. NCDOT Road Resurfacing Priorities <br />Karen Lincoln of the Orange County Planning Department and County Engineer Paul <br />Thames came to the table to speak on this topic. <br />Chair Halkiotis said this is the first time that the NCDOT has asked the County to give <br />suggestions of roads that need to be resurfaced. <br />Karen Lincoln also affirmed that this is the first time the NCDOT has asked the County for <br />input. The recommendations will be addressed in the summer of 2002 resurfacing program. She <br />showed the Commissioners on a map all of the roads in the County that were in need of resurfacing. <br />She said that EMS and the Sheriffs Department were asked to help identify the roads. EMS had no <br />comments and the report from the Sheriffs Department has not been received. <br />Chair Halkiotis said that he would call the Sheriff tomorrow and ask him about any additional <br />roads that need resurfacing. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested asking the postal carriers about roads. <br />Chair Halkiotis gave 43 letters from citizens to John Link in reference to the tax revaluation in <br />Carolina Springs. He said that the citizens were saying that because of the increase in the value of <br />that property, their monthly rents are going to go up $57 a month. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />With no further items for the County Commissioners to discuss, it was decided by consensus to <br />adjourn the meeting at 9:53 p.m. The next meeting on the calendar will be held next Tuesday, <br />March 20 at 5:30 p.m. at the Government Services Center in Hillsborough, North Carolina. <br />Stephen H. Halkiotis, Chair <br />Beverly A. Blythe, CMC <br />
