WESTSIDE ROAD. UPPER PEOHPOINT ROAD AND THORP PRAIRIE <br />ROAD: <br />Mark stated that this summer the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), on two separate <br />occasions, heard from residents on Nelson Siding and Westside Road regarding the repeated <br />heavy weekend traffic during I-90 backups and closures. It appears GPS technology is rerouting <br />traffic from I-90 onto the local road network. The network extends from Thorp Prairie Road, <br />Upper Peoh Point, Westside Road to Nelson Siding Road where they reenter I-90. Staff is seeing <br />far too much traffic on these roads and while we see a lot of car traffic, the worse is the big Class <br />9 trucks (semi -tractor trailer vehicles). The problem with them on our local road network is they <br />are not built to handle that kind of traffic on a reoccurring basis. With some of these road being <br />only a chip sealed surface not asphalt. Mark continued that in response to residents in the area, <br />Public Works agreed to bring back to the BOCC the conversation about potentially limiting truck <br />traffic on this road network. Mark added that he has prepared a draft resolution for BOCC <br />review with the option to approve today if necessary. Discussion was held. <br />Board Direction: <br />Conduct research on whether a resolution yearly is necessary or if an ordinance can be <br />prepared for one time approval by the BOCC. <br />FBO SERVICES AT BOWERS FIELD: <br />Mark stated that previous conversations have been had with the Board of County Commissioners <br />(BOCC) regarding FBO services and have been receiving these services by Midstate Aviation <br />for numerous years. With the decision of the lease assignment from Midstate Aviation to Central <br />Washington University (CWU) this put into play, a year ago, that Midstate Aviation would no <br />longer be a full service FBO beyond the end of that year, more specifically November 8, 2017. <br />In anticipation of that Public Works went out for solicitation of FBO services and received one <br />411 N.
