matter of record.

FRANK PRESTON & TRESSA LUTTRELL
WORK SESSION
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS DAY

Frank Preston, Road & Bridge Administrator and Tressa Luttrell, County
Administrator met with the Commission to discuss various issues.

1. Davis Aviation contract: Ms. Luttrell presented the response from Counselor
Paulson noting that the Airport Board had previously approved the contract and
that the services are similar to Wings of the Ozarks in that it is a Helicopter Tour
and Charter operation.

Commissioner Herschend made a motion to approve said contract. Commissioner
Strahan seconded the motion. The motion passed by vote: Pennel (yes), Herschend
(yes), Strahan (yes).

2. Blansit Road: Mr. Preston informed the Commission that Blansit road was
impassible again. This road was turned over to FEMA and the County will be
reimbursed $35,000, however we have fixed this road and it has washed out only
to fix again.

Commissioner Herschend commented that the County needs to keep the road
passible but was concerned that it is the third time this year that the road has been fixed.
We have spent thousands of dollars and it is not productive.

3. Parking Issue at Judicial Facility: Mr. Preston noted that if the center line was
moved, there would still be plenty of room for adequate driving space. Mr.
Preston commented that he would set up a meeting on location to discuss options.

4. Buchanan Road: Mr. Preston commented that there is a site hazard where the
new bus barn is located. A phone call was received as to when the “hump” in the
road would be removed. Mr. Preston added that in doing that there is a sewer
force main that will have to be moved and the cost just for the cutting machine is
$35,000.00.

Commissioner Herschend noted that Great River Engineering has a design and
cost estimate and added that they should have another meeting at that location.
Commissioner Strahan asked what responsibility the County has if the City of Branson
has initiated this. Commissioner Strahan further stated that the County has stepped up for
the entrance on Buchanan, the stop lights on “F” Highway, why isn’t the City of Branson
taking any responsibility, why did they approve it through their Planning & Zoning and
without any input from the County.

Commissioner Herschend stated that he approached Rick Huffman over a year
ago regarding the line of site. Commissioner Strahan commented that the Commission
should take a road trip. Commissioner Pennel added that there should be a meeting
scheduled as well.

5. Minimum Flow: Commissioner Pennel noted that Representative Wallace has
requested a letter on the minimum flow issue, commenting on the issues of the
Corps not doing what they said they would as well as have another public hearing.

Commissioner Herschend commented that he thought the Commission was out of their
league and that the Commission should hire an attorney to write a good letter.
