Macoupin County Board Public Safety Committee met July 2.

Here are the minutes provided by the committee:

I. CALL TO ORDER

PRESENT: Kiel, Barr, Ibberson, Payne, Starr, Schmidt, Duncan, Boehler, Bishop

ABSENT: Dragovich, Adden

II. AGENDA ITEMS

1. Update on 911 Sign Replacements Plan

Bishop said that he had reached out to the townships on getting a list of the signs that need the most attention. As of right now, only six of the townships have responded back. Since we are on a time crunch, he was recommending hitting the signs along the state highways at intersections with county roads since those are the signs you would be seeing at higher speeds and then working the rest of the county as funds are available.

Motion by Ibberson, seconded by Payne to approve hitting the intersections along state highways first throughout the county.
