EMERGENCY ORDINANCE ON BURNING TO REMAIN IN EFFECT It was the consensus of the Board that even though the County had received a measurable amount of rainfall that it is not enough to rescind the emergency ordinance at this time. Mr. Putnam arrived at this time. WILLIAM H. BUSHMAN, RESIDENT ENGINEER WITH TH E VIRGINIA Mr. Bushman appeared before the Board to explain why the temporary permit had been issued which would allow oversized trailers to travel a portion of Route 11 which they had not been allowed to travel up to this point. He further explained that this would go into effect on August 1, 1988 and due to a Court decision in another area of the State, this could not be avoid- ed. He explained that scales will be set up on Route 11 South starting August I which the Highway Department felt will help deter trucks from driving that Route solely for the purpose of missing the scales on Interstate 81 as they have been doing in the past. Mr. Bushman noted that the Transportation Board has 16 the final word, thus the reason for a temporary permit and th Mr. Bob Smalley has been very involved with this request. Mr. Rhodes asked Mr. Bushman if the Board could request that trucks not be allowed to pass while driving in the three lane area. Mr. Rinker referred to the current road conditions of Rout 11 and asked Mr. Bushman what the Highway Department planned to do once these trucks were allowed on Route 11 as they would on make the conditions worse. Mr. Bushman replied that part of the problem was due to t type of materials that have been used and that this had been corrected. Mr. Rinker asked if a public hearing could be held on this) matter. Mr. Bushman replied no. Upon motion made by Dudley H. Rinker, seconded by Roger L. Crosen and passed unanimously, that a letter be sent to the Transportation Board to inform them of the Board's position in opposing this matter and that signs be erected for "No Passing" by trucks while driving in the three lane area. In another Highway Department matter, Mr. Putnam asked Mr. Bushman for the status of Route 522 South. Mr. Bushman replied that the study had been completed. Mr. Putnam asked about Meade Drive and Senseny Road. Mr. Bushman replied that there will probably be a 30mph speed limit posted and some of the bank shaved off before this Winter. Mr. Orndoff inquired about the status of Route 672. Mr. Bushman replied that he would check into this but the decision would be left up to the railroad company. Mr. Rinker requested that a copy of the secondary road count be made available to all Board members. BOARD RETIRED INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION Upon motion made by Charles W.
