Greetings:
You are receiving this letter
because you have expressed interest in the efforts of the
Subdivision Paving Work Group.
As you may know, the Board of
County Commissioners held a study session with several members
of the Work Group on March 4. The purpose of the study
session was for the group to share its perspectives with the
commissioners on how the county may wish to address the
deteriorating quality of paved roads in county subdivisions.
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the more than 25 people who participated in
the four very long Work Group meetings, as well as the more than
100 people who attended public information sessions on the
group's findings, and the more than 150 people who attended
individual Homeowner Association meeting presentations.
Your work, comments, suggestions, thoughts and concerns were
shared with the commissioners, and they expressed their
appreciation for the thoughtful efforts of the work group and
all who provided comments.
In the follow up to the study
session, the commissioners have directed county staff to develop
different approaches to paying for the reconstruction of
deteriorating subdivision paved roads in a timely,
cost-effective, affordable, efficient and fair manner.
These steps must include robust public information and outreach
efforts to share information and gain the insight and
perspectives of affected property owners and the general public
on the different approaches to solving this difficult problem.
To that end, in the next few
weeks, we will be sending out a postcard to all subdivision
property owners informing them of our efforts, providing a web
address where information will be available, an opportunity to
communicate concerns and ideas through the website, e-mail, as
well as a survey to gain feedback on the different options being
evaluated. We will also provide hardcopy information to
anyone who prefers that method of communication.
We also encourage you to contact
us if you would like to schedule a presentation to answer
questions and get feedback at your neighborhood or Homeowner
Association meeting.
A full summary of the work group
meetings and findings, as well as the material presented to at
each Work Group meeting can be found at:

Thank you for your work and input
to date and I hope you will continue to help us find a good
solution to this problem.
Sincerely,
George Gerstle
Transportation Director
