Resident stopped in to request road numbers be changed to match Google in order for emergency response crews to better locate rural residents.  Addresses are assigned by Assessor’s Office with county road numbers; Google Earth does not request proper identification from the county and are frequently mislabeled.  The Sheriff’s Office has recently installed tracking devices on patrol units to assist in better directing officers and emergency response units.  Resident returned from Assessor’s Office and requested to add an additional sign to the existing road sign post identifying the section of road for her area.  The Commission agreed to the request but asked that the sign be added further down the post so that county road signs can still be replaced without having to remove her sign first.
