US County to Maintain Vedic City Roads

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.
