ROADMASTER REPORT

  • Last snow in a while
  • Jim asked the guys if they had done any work on the bridges that was mentioned at the last meeting.  Robert responded that they must take a ride to the bridges and check out what the engineers were talking about.  They will take inventory of the signs we have then order any signs that are needed.

NEW BUSINESS

                There was no new business.

PUBLIC COMMENT

  • Dale asked what trees were trimmed.  Robert answered saying they took the pole saw and the battery-operated saw and went around all the roads and did some trimming so the hanging down stuff is gone.  Michael Saline helped Robert do this.
  • Dale also mentioned that there is a safety hazard on Crestline Road where the atv/snowmobiles enter the field to ride.  There is a hole there and if the road gives way, then you will go into that culvert.  Some stone or a bigger pipe might fix it.  The guys have noticed also, and they will be looking into a way to fix it, and get permission from the land owners if they have to dig.
