The Ford County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously Dec. 30 to approve a Road Use and Maintenance Agreement (RUMA) that permits the Clark Storage Project, located in Clark County, to use Ford County roads.
Ford County Legal Counsel Glenn Kerbs presented the agreement to the board and described it as a formal arrangement to govern use and maintenance of county roads by the Clark Storage Project. After the presentation, Chairman Shawn Tasset moved to approve the RUMA as presented; Commissioner Gary Thomas seconded and the motion carried 3-0.
The approval was recorded during the regular meeting at the Ford County Government Center. The agenda noted that the Clark Storage Project is sited in Clark County but would rely on Ford County roads for project access; the transcript does not specify the duration or financial terms of the RUMA.
No public comments were recorded on the agreement during the meeting. The board took the vote as a formal action; no amendments or conditions were announced at the time of approval. The meeting proceeded to other agenda items and adjourned at 3:49 p.m.
