Copies of the minutes were provided to the members prior to the meeting and were included in the agenda package. Motion was made by Tom Wight and seconded by Dan Dunwody. The motion carried by voice vote.
3. Community Comments Chairman Frank Johnson
Chairman Johnson stated that he thinks the ... road authority is doing a very good job in a sense . . . I've been looking at different roads that are almost complete . . . and I was asking the contractors, ... Why is it that it takes you so long to finish 200 feet?@ and they told me . . . sometimes they need to move a telephone pole, sometimes some underground curbing (?) that needs to be moved or walls or pipes or different other things. . . These are some things that we need to look into to see what will let them go and complete their job. . . They have done a wonderful job on Burton Avenue . . .but they have about 100 feet at the end that is just sitting there and it looks like that should have been completed weeks ago.@
Van Etheridge responded that the problem at Burton Avenue is with Southern Bell, whom have been contacted on a weekly basis. The turn lanes on Napier which allow turning into Burton cannot be completed until Southern Bell removes several poles. Southern Bell has had their engineering contracted out to an outside firm and they have decided to bring their engineering back into Southern Bell.

6. Citizens Oversight Committee Motion Steve Duval
from the October 21, 1999, Meeting
At the last Citizens Oversight Committee Meeting a recommendation was made by Lee Martin to have this Committee recommend replacing the DOT voting member on the Technical Advisory Committee with a citizen engineer. The Citizens Oversight Committee agreed to send this recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners denied this request at their County Public Works Meeting on January 4, 2000, passing the request along to the Executive Committee which also denied the request at their meeting of January 6, 2000. The Executive Committee=s new members (Mayor Ellis and City Council President Anita Ponder) also requested attendance records for the Citizens Oversight Committee, which were supplied to them.
7. Project No. 47 I-75 to SR 247 Connector Van Etheridge
Sardis Church Road Extension
Recommended Corridor Concept Alignment
In order to get a break into limited access onto I-75 the Department of Transportation had to prepare an Interchange Justification Report to get approval from the Federal Highway Administration. The Federal Highway Administration put in a stipulation to widen I-75 from Sardis Church Road to Hartley Bridge Road @ I-475 from six to eight lanes, which they have agreed to pay for. They also have requested that a four lane connector from the new interchange to SR 247 be provided. The funding for this was approved at a previous Executive Committee Meeting and a consultant (Kimley Horne) has been hired to look at this corridor and make a recommendation as to where this road should be located.
Three public information meetings were held. At the first meeting no alignment was introduced. Comment response forms were asked to be filled out by the citizens to list the concerns they had regarding the project. From that, five alternates were developed, then presented at the second public meeting. Alternate Three became the preferred route since it has no environmental impacts and it has the least amount of community impacts (versus the other Alternatives). It extends on the existing Sardis Church Road alignment just past Goodall Mill, heads to the south ties in Houston Road and heads south veering south east eventually tying into Avondale Mill Road on the south side of the airport, ultimately tying into SR 247. At this time Mr. Etheridge gave a wall poster presentation.
Kimley Horne is working closely with the environmental firm hired by the Georgia Department of Transportation to evaluate the environmental, community, historical, and wetlands impacts.
