Information

Request/Subject

Accept or reject a Citizens' Petition to begin the process to designate Forest Road 54 and 202A through parcels 305-39-003A and 305-39-004B as a primitive road.

Background Information

Gila County Public Works received a Citizens' Petition to establish Forest Road 54 and 202A through parcels 305-39-003A and 305-39-004B as a primitive road. The road is near the community of Young.

Evaluation

The petition and the road meet the requirements of Public Works Department Policy No. PWS-001 “Guidelines to Primitive Roads” which replaced Policy No. ENG03-03 and was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on February 19, 2019.

Conclusion

Easements from property owners will need to be granted to Gila County. Once the easements are accepted by the County, providing maintenance as described in the Primitive Road Policy will consist of grading the road a few times a year. Providing maintenance on this road will not reduce the level of service to other roads in the Gila County Maintained Roadway System.

Recommendation

The Public Works Department Director recommends that the Board accept the Citizens' Petition to begin the process to establish Forest Road 54 and 202A through parcels 305-39-003A and 305-39-004B as a primitive road.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to accept or reject a Citizens' Petition to begin the process to establish Forest Road 54 and 202A through parcels 305-39-003A and 305-39-004B as a primitive road. (Steve Sanders)
