Board discusses readdressing work in Lakes and Westport and a Greensburg naming conflict

Staff described ongoing address reassignments in lake subdivisions and Westport and proposed printing large maps for deputies and staff to drive the areas and mark discrepancies before notifying residents.

“We have another subdivision coming in to Greensburg that that wants to use Indian named addresses. And several of them were the same as CNT addresses out there, and we've told them, no,” the chair said, explaining the county’s policy to avoid duplicate street names that cause dispatch confusion between city and county jurisdictions. Board members and staff emphasized the importance of sequencing and mapping address points so GPS and routing return correct results for emergency responders.

Staff asked that, if a map is produced, deputies could drive the areas to verify address sequencing and circle any issues so they could be corrected before public notification. The group discussed typical field problems such as legacy stone markers and houses with old numbers that residents may not change immediately after readdressing.

Next steps: staff will request a printed map from Doug Westerfeld for the identified neighborhoods, circulate it to deputies and relevant staff, and collect marked discrepancies prior to any public notice or signage changes.
