Beginning approximately November through approximately April; the Pitkin County Road and Bridge Department shall be physically responsible for snow removal and rock and debris removal associated with the snow removal in the Frying Pan Valley, which includes the Frying Pan Road and the North Fork Road, and the Eagle- Thomasville Road.

Pitkin County will invoice Eagle County monthly for 30% of the cost of snow removal. 3.

In the event of a large debris problem on the Frying Pan Valley roads, Eagle County shall assist Pitkin County in the removal effort.
