Rockmont road residents were present, they are having issues with dust and people speeding down Rockmont Rd. 6 residents chipped in to put dust control down this year. It helped tremendously. They are requesting that the town start putting it down. The board explained that we would have to do the entire town if we did their road and there is just no money in the budget for doing that. Mark will check into what it takes to lower the speed limit. In the past we have found that we have no way to enforce the speed limit, but if you can get the Douglas County Sheriff to patrol in might be possible.
