Working on the end of the year reports, they are almost all done.
Driftwood paid for the snowplowing we did for them as well as their share of the Fireman’s workers comp.
BUSINESS:
Roadmaster Report – Frank stated that everything is running well, and there was snow, snow, snow, and more snow thanks to the winter storm before Christmas. Frank, Butch and Robert kept the roads open, and they also helped Driftwood get their roads cleaned out.
Frank stated that one thing they realized during that storm was they needed chains for the front tires of the backhoe. They have been ordered.
AmeriGas seems to have raised our cost of propane again, and when Brandie called them, she was disconnected, and they said they would call back if that happened and she has heard nothing. Brandie called Short propane and their price was $1.89 and Friday’s was $1.69 per gal. Both companies will provide a tank free of charge.
It was decided to switch to Friday’s Gas & Oil in Weedville for our propane services.
Clean up dates were set as May 15th and October 9th hours being 9:00 – 4:00
