  2. The town did not hear anything from the Town’s Association about the Young property (March 2010 and March 2011).  We will table the decision until we hear back from the Town’s Association.

 

Patrolman/Hwy. Building/Hwy. Report –  A. The Dump truck may need a new fuel injector.  They will try a fix kit and see if that works before looking into getting a new one.

  1. Transmission is having trouble in the Chevy truck.  Kevin will look into getting it repaired and will call Simon with the quotes and will make a decision at that time.
  2. Kevin is going to start buying new signs.  The town will also look into re-facing some old signs.
  3. There are some major issues with a culvert falling apart on 140th Street.  The patrolmen put gravel in temporarily.  The board will go and look at it, and possibly need to close the road until repairs can be made.  

 

Correspondence –

           

New Business – A. Steve from Monarch Paving discussed our concern about the condition of the Birch Street project.  He stated that they had problems making it up the hill and ended up doing most of the project by hand.  He realizes now that he should have stopped the project once he found the issues.  Steve will be in touch with Kevin next week to go over the specific issues and what can possibly be done, including grinding the surface.
