Call to order and roll call II. Consideration of additions to the agenda Karen Lincoln: On the August 21 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners there will be an item for appointments to the OUTBoard. We will still have vacancies for a Cheeks Township member and a Little River Township member. Also, about Mount Carmel Church Road, a citizen contacted Commissioner Carey asking for some help in working with DOT. Commissioner Cary wrote a letter to DOT to reiterate some of the problems you’ve talked about on Mt. Carmel Church Road, and he received a response from Mike Mills. Robert Peterson: I would like to see the letter from that person. Karen Lincoln: I can get a copy of the email and the letter to you. Nancy Baker: Can we talk about Orange Grove Road? Karen Lincoln: We were told that with resurfacing the road, NCDOT would widen the shoulders to make it consistent with the previous work. I spoke with Chuck Edwards and he said that there had been a communication problem at NCDOT. The project manager was on vacation when Orange Grove Road was resurfaced and apparently no one else working on the resurfacing program that week knew that the addition of 2-ft. shoulders had been approved with the resurfacing. It should be done next year with resurfacing of the next section of Orange Grove Road. Robert Peterson: On the agenda, I am not sure how far we need to go with Agenda Item #6. We may be able to shrink that down.
