21 <br /> 1 Commissioner Rich asked if there is a process to manage the lands that are being <br /> 2 accessed by the public that do not have signage, and are not recommended for public access. <br /> 3 David Stancil said staff will likely recommend "at your own risk" signage on properties <br /> 4 such as this. He said this signage should point out what the public can expect to encounter on <br /> 5 such lands, such as barbed wire, abandoned house, etc. He said personnel and maintenance <br /> 6 will not be provided for these lands. <br /> 7 Commissioner Jacobs said there was two instances that made him raise this issue: 1.) <br /> 8 the Greene Tract and 2.) the Seven Mile Creek Trail. He said the public accesses these <br /> 9 lands, and he said signage would improve knowledge about these areas, and their ownership. <br /> 10 Commissioner Rich said she liked the idea of having contact information posted at these <br /> 11 sites. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 9.
