A County Highway Committee conducted consolidation meetings to identify services that were duplicated by the County and Town Highway Departments. It was the recommendation of the consolidation committee that the County Highway Departments take over the maintenance of traffic signage on Town roads in addition to the County roads. An inventory of signs on all County and Town roads was performed by the County. The cost for a Professional Engineering firm to complete a compliance review of the existing signage and roadways was solicited. The review would consist of an updated inventory of signs, list of deficiencies or non-compliant signs, priority list for remedial work to bring the signage into compliance, development of an inventory management system and sign replacement budget for all involved municipalities. Lu Engineers submitted a preliminary cost estimate of $275,000 to $325,000 for the initial sign inventory and compliance review. The estimated cost to the Town of Macedon to participate in the initial inventory and compliance is $13,812. Highway Superintendent Richard Roets was concerned about the liability and that the expense was not a budgeted item. Town Attorney Anthony Villani stated that the Town would not be relieved of liability. Highway Superintendent Roets and Supervisor Hammond will send a letter to the County addressing their concerns.
Supervisor Hammond discussed becoming a member of the Greater Rochester Enterprise which would market the County at a cost of $1,000 for five (5) years. Discussion will continue at the May 13th meeting.
