County Maintains Maharishi Vedic City roads under 28E agreement
By Lacey Jacobs, Ledger staff writer02/21/2006

The mileage is increasing, but the rate per mile remains the same in
a 28E Agreement with Maharishi Vedic City for the maintenance of
roads approved by the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors this
morning.
County engineer Tom Goff said the revised agreement reflects
the additional land annexed by Vedic City. It will go into effect
July 1.
The total mileage is not quite six miles, supervisor Steve
Burgmeier said.
According to Goff, the rate per mile, which is $300 per mile
for in-city roads, was determined around 1986 and is the same for all
of the cities with which the county has an agreement.
Burgmeier asked Goff to look at the rate and have information
ready for the supervisors by December, so they can consider changing
the rate before the agreement automatically renews.
The supervisors also set the county's public budget hearing for
9:40 a.m. March 6. A hearing regarding the authorization of a loan
agreement has already been set for that morning as well.
Burgmeier reported that the Jefferson County Ambulance Service
Agency has approved the purchase of a new ambulance.
