said 911 and others have been using this name for over 12 years. Commissioner Pennel further
reported that Mr. Nugent has informed him the culverts would be modified, as requested by the
Road & Bridge Department and added the Commission could supply the Homeowners
Association with a budget as to how much the needed changes would cost, in order for the
county to be able to take the roads into the system.

Commission Pennel made a motion to take into the road system, consisting of Wind
Ridge and North Fork, which will end at their intersection, Sand Piper, Catella, Maplewood,
Primrose, and Spring Meadow Parkway, contingent upon the Homeowners’ Association paying
for the needed changes and having the fence moved off of the right-of-way. Commission Pennel
added that the Homeowners’ Association would have to fulfill their obligations within six
months of this motion.

Commissioner Herschend cautioned the county not to take on costly projects that may not
be in the best interest of citizens.
