Subsequent discussion continued between Crosby, the Commissioners, County Attorney “Duke” Lang and Circuit Court Clerk Todd Newton regarding the legal and financial steps required to complete the Special Assessment District. The vote was unanimous, with all five Commissioners voting for approval. Once everyone who wished to speak had been given an opportunity to do so, the Commissioners voted on whether to approve or deny the formation of the Special Assessment District for purposes of rebuilding the roads.

Commission Chairman Bill Martin asked that any discussion on speed control be held after the roads have been rebuilt if citizens still feel it is necessary, mentioning that there were several options like 4-way stop signage and efforts by the Sheriff’s office that could be utilized in addressing speed issues.Īll Spring Ridge property owners who spoke at the meeting were in support of the plan nobody spoke in opposition. There was also some discussion about installing speed control (speed “humps”) on the roads, both by citizens who are for and against doing so. Some had questions about various aspects of the project, such as how the roads would be maintained, whether damaged signs would be replaced, and similar concerns, and Crosby provided answers to all of these questions.
