Correction to May Minutes: Harlan Hendrickson/Cro’s Services would mow our ditches, but the price was $70 per mile, which is significantly higher than our current contract.
Todd reported that Grant Graham called and is going to be out repairing any signs or culvert markers that were damaged this winter. If we have any we should let him know. At this time we can only think of 1 culvert marker and we think it is just due to soft ground around it causing it to lean into the ditch. Supervisor’s will try to straighten it on their own first. Todd called Dan Oelfke regarding pulling in the shoulders on 450th and 140th. Merle Hough stopped over and Todd got him a map of where we want to start graveling. Merle said it would probably be the middle of June before he started hauling since he needs to get some crushed yet. Lee Ingvalson also called regarding if he needed a culvert where he intends to put a driveway in to build a house this summer. Todd told him it wasn’t necessary in that area. Todd and Rana were able to get the 125th/Hwy87 sign down. Todd also talked to Dan Oelfke regarding the gravel he is putting on Cooper’s driveway and he already had it set up with Tony Stenger.
Steve talked to Vance Bachmann regarding ditch mowing. They use Stuart Bjorgen. Steve called him and he is not interested in any at this time as he does 17 other townships and is considering retiring. He did take down Steve’s number in case he changes his mind. Steve tried to call Arlen Huwe regarding the portion of 120th st that Spruce Grove maintains for us. He didn’t get an answer or a call back, but will keep trying.
Supervisor’s all agree that if Merle finishes hauling gravel on 450th and 140th before the July meeting that we can tell him to do 2000 yds on 460th and 36 yds on 150th by Marjamaa’s. Todd will mark 450th and 140th for gravel when out doing the first weed inspection.
Having no further business, Steve made a motion to adjourn. All present in favor.
Respectfully submitted, Rana Holmer, Clerk
