Introduction & Background: The Chatham County Commissioners adopted an ordinance providing the establishment for the naming of roads in Chatham County, a procedure for future naming or renaming of public and private roads located in Chatham County. The Office of Emergency Operations has received one (1) petition requesting the naming of a public road in Chatham County.
Discussion and Analysis: As part of its plan to develop the Enhanced-911 Emergency Response System, there is a vital need to maintain the County’s established system providing for the naming or renaming of public roads. This is important so that there can be no duplications or similarities of these assigned names within Chatham County which could result in confusion and/or delay in the response to these roads, should an emergency exist in that location.
Budgetary Impact: The cost of road signage for these roads will be $78.00 per sign. At the rate of one sign per road, this total cost will be $78.00. The Chatham County Commissioners have decided to absorb this cost for the making and installation of these private road signs.
Recommendation: Vote to set a public hearing to name state road listed below:
