Ratify the Vice Chairman's Signature on two recent
Federal Highway Administration Grant Applications
BACKGROUND: Recently, Public Works (PW) submitted two Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) Federal Lands Access
Program (FLAP) grants under the signature of the Public
Works Director. The United States Forest Service (USFS)
rejected the signature of the Public Works Director
insisting on Board of County Commission signature. The
Vice Chairman was able to quickly get the grants signed
and the USFS accepted our applications. PW is now
seeking Board action ratifying the Vice Chairman's
signature on the grant applications.
INTERACTION: Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: Ratify the Vice Chairman's signature on two recent FHWA
FLAP grant applications.
HANDLING: Return one original to Public Works
