Smith <br /> responded, staff reviews proposed names to prevent <br /> road name duplication with road names in the County <br /> and surrounding area and indicated that staff <br /> maintained an available road name file. <br /> Yuhasz asked if the Board should consider deleting <br /> the road maintenance agreement for Class C roads <br /> under 5001 . Kizer responded that it was premature <br /> to discuss whether other statutes are applicable, <br /> indicating a desire to discuss the matter with the <br /> County Attorney. Gordon advised the Board to keep <br /> to the narrow focus of the road sign question. She <br /> added that the Board could discuss the broader <br /> issues raised regarding the legal question about <br /> road maintenance agreements and constructions , of <br /> Class C roads under 5001 in length on April 29. <br /> The Board discussed the value of private road signs <br /> in providing emergency services. Shanklin <br /> indicated there is no problem in providing <br /> emergency service access if the agencies map these <br /> roads, even when there is no sign. Best noted that <br /> there may be confusion regarding road names during <br /> an emergency, if the road name is not posted. <br /> Gordon noted that option #2 addresses more than <br /> just roads which are not constructed. <br /> Vote: 5 in favor-. <br /> 3 opposed.
