Vanderpool. Commissioner Pennel seconded the motion. The motion passed by vote:

STAFF DEPARTMENTAL MEETING – ROAD & BRIDGE
SNOW REMOVAL POLICY
Frank Preston informed the Commission that there may need to be changes in the snow
plowing plan. He stated that MoDOT has significantly decreased their material supplies
for 2011, and this change would result in poor State road conditions in traveling to the
County roads. He stated that he had concerns with public perception when State roads
would be un-cleared and County neighborhood roads would be.
Commissioner Strahan stated that his opinion was to maintain the same process. The
Road & Bridge crews would drop their plows as soon as they left the shop and would
clear all the way to their route, and then clear the route itself. MoDOT would be left to
clear and treat their roads. Commissioner Pennel agreed to maintain the status quo and
send a press release.
The Commission directed Mr. Preston to receive quote permissions from MoDOT and to
send out the press release.

checks to the subcontractors, and an eleventh check to Larry Snyder & Company that is

the record reflect his desire to continue with the current contract, and that no decisions
involving change happen while he was recovering from surgery in January.
