Steve Thomas, Planning Director, and Rochelle Barvinchack, Planner III, met with the Board to provide information on the Franklin County Addressing and Road Naming Policy and Intergovernmental Agreements. Mr. Thomas explained that the policy identifies the procedure and criteria for assigning house or structure numbers within county limits. He said they partnered with GIS and the Department of Emergency Services whose concern has been for the residents. When a resident calls 911 for help, first responders need to make sure they can get to the correct address. Along with the policy there is a need for agreements with municipalities. Ms. Barvinchack explained that they provide addresses for 10 municipalities now and the remainder do their own or ask for assistance from the Planning Office. Commissioner Ziobrowski asked if the developer of a subdivision currently requests road names from the Planning Office. Ms. Barvinchack responded that the names can come in on the plan and if recently. Commissioner Flannery asked if we have the authority to approve or decline the requests. Ms. Barvinchack responded that most denials are a duplicate or too similar to another name. Ms. Gray explained that this policy would specify the process if the municipality would sign over the authority of assigning of road names and numbers to the county. Mr. Thomas policy first and then the intergovernmental agreements where the municipality can opt in or out. They can ask for road naming or addressing or both. This would solidify everything and would mitiga municipalities may resent the county taking over naming from them. Steve said it was brought Continued on page 2 up during the Municipal Summit last year and at a Council of Government (COG) meeting and at that time he did not receive any negativity. He explained that Rochelle called all the municipalities and let them know it was coming. She emailed a copy of both items. The reception has been good and she did not see it as a negative. He continued that a lot of the continue doing the service. Mr. Thomas said that for those who retain the right to continue addressing, they are encouraged to communicate with 911.
