Board members present: Chairman Laura Osiadacz, Vice -Chairman
Obie O'Brien, and Commissioner Paul Jewell
Others: Dan Carlson, Stephanie Mifflin (CDS), Mark Cook(PW),
Neil Caulkins (PA)
Meeting was called to order at 1:30 P.M.
Lanigan Springs Access Issue
Mark Cook explained the history of Lanigan Springs. Mark stated
that instead of selling the County -owned parcel, he'd like that
parcel to be established as a right-of-way so the County could
permit access to it. Mark stated that once a right-of-way was
established, all property owners that use that road would be
part of a road maintenance agreement.
Commissioner Jewell stated that multiple parcels are going up
for sale and these questions are popping up. Commissioner Jewell
stated the County needs to establish some sort of right-of-way.
Neil Caulkins stated he was unsure how this would work until all
of the questions are asked. Neil gave a few potential solutions.
There was discussion between the Board and staff regarding
primitive roads and converting them to right-of-ways.
Direction was given to come back to the Board with options.
Teanaway Bridge at Dickey Creek
Mark stated that Public Works has been going through all of the
bridges and evaluating the load ratings. Mark stated the repairs
of the bridge at Dickey Creek are complete but when the
consultant went back to check the load rating calculations, an
error was discovered. Mark stated this error will result in a
shear failure which can be catastrophic and that the bridge was
closed on Friday because of the finding.
There was discussion regarding fire access during the summer
months and whether a temporary bridge is an option.
Executive Session
Chairman Osiadacz announced the Board would recess into
Executive Session for 10 minutes to consider the minimum price
at which real estate will be offered for sale or lease when
public knowledge regarding such consideration would cause a

likelihood of decreased price. However, final action selling or
leasing public property shall be taken in a meeting open to the
public.
The Board reconvened out of Executive Session. No decision was
made, but staff was directed to work with the Chairman of the
Board to draft a letter of intent.
