The Board of County Commissioners

The board of county commissioners or a designated employee shall prescribe a uniform identification system and create and administer an inventory system for supplies and materials of a county purchased in lots of Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) or more for use in the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges.

The employee designated by the board shall be the county road and bridge inventory officer.

In counties having a county budget board, the board may, upon an affirmative vote of a majority of all the board members, appoint a county road and bridge inventory officer.

For the purpose of identifying county bridges, the board of county commissioners shall number each bridge subject to its jurisdiction. Also, county roads should be numbered for identification purposes.
