"Correct," Harriott replied. "You're fall- ing behind." When Robinson asked whether delaying other projects because of the work in the Phillippi Creek basin would result in the county spend- ing even more money on them, Harriott responded, "I don't think it's gotten to the point where you're having to fix or repair just completely substandard roads." However, he acknowledged that some of the projects would be done "maybe a little bit after an ideal resurfacing date." He also said that one big concern is how deteri- orated some of the county's major "collector" or arterial roads might become. For example, he said, when Webber Street between U.S. 41 and McIntosh Road was resurfaced late last year, its rating was "about as low as you would ever want" on an arterial or collector. In spite of the $10 million infusion last year, Harriott said, the county is expected to spend just $5.5 million to $6 million each year over the next five years. "Next year is a fairly lean year," he added, in terms of revenue antici- pated to be available.
