Gerald Gliffen - We live on East River Spur Road outside of Priest River. Several years ago that road was abandoned. It was my understanding that last year the commission purchased a right of way from the State and they were going to replace a condemned bridge. We have elderly neighbors that are land locked on the other side ofthat bridge. They both have tremendous health problems. At the time, Heather Scott and several other people got involved with the purchase of the property. Rachel called us the other day and said that somebody from the commissioners' office said that they were not going to do any work on the bridge. That's the only way they have in or out. Half my property is across that bridge, I haven't been able to access it in 3 years. Several constituents spoke regarding Lakeshore Drive paving. They stated that this is a thoroughfare. They spoke of the dust and promises made. They feel like they are not being heard and would like to know if and when the road will be paved. They support the initiative by Laurie Eidular and Gary Williams who are the driving force behind paving the road. Several constituents spoke regarding the erosion of the shoreline due to the difference in boats that we used to have on the water. Some residents spoke of the loss of property front footage from the boat traffic. They stated that they now have to deal with rock instead of seeing the natural vegetation. The habitat is disappearing overnight and dramatically changed over the last four years. There was a suggestion to have a no-wake zone between buoy 18 and 19. They stated that the 200 ft. rule is violated everyday of boating season and that they would like to see stronger enforcement or more regulations for boaters. CONSENT AGENDA
