MR. MARKERT: Yes, sir. And, you know, this is an area where we cannot do additional dirt roads and not have to come in with that 800,000. So, you can see we got
Jim Hadley Road, Greenjordan Road and Woodrow Lane, but Woodrow Lane, we're still going to need some more funds.

MR. CINK: I got a question on that one. We had $650,000 in the budget for that.

MR. MARKERT: No. That's on the design of the entire service road and the interchange.

COMMISSIONER BURT: Well, we acted on that, didn't we?

MR. MARKERT: It was 650,000 for the design and --

MR. CINK: I got my wires crossed, I can tell you that.

MR. MARKERT: - - you got the service road and interchange. And this time last year, Commissioner Bishop, we threw out 650,000 in the budget. It's going to cost us 523 to design the service road. The state - - it's going to cost another 125 to redesign the interchange. The state was going to ask us to pay to redesign the interchange, and I've talked to them, and they said, they've forgotten about that. So, we got 650, minus 523 --

MR. CINK: Right.

MR. MARKERT:That leaves us 130. So, that's where we got that from.

MR. CINK: You're right. You're right.

COMMISSIONER BURT: But we're 70 short?

MR. MARKERT: Correct.

COMMISSIONER BURT: So, we got to budget that?

MR. MARKERT: Right.
