Todd reported that Dan did go out and cleaned up the roads on 1/11. It took him 5 hours and he used his truck. On 1/20 Merle Hough called and is still planning on doing gravel this year and it will be same price as last year. At the fire meeting it was reported that we had 8 calls to Evergreen which has now significantly raised our rates for this year. The fireman absolutely love our hydrant hookup that is on Andrew Ingvalson’s irrigation well. Todd asked about us putting signage up to help them and other departments finding the location. They thought that was a great idea and thought there should be one on Cty road 39 and one by the “Fire Rd”. Todd is checking into signs and costs.
Having no further business, Todd made a motion to adjourn, second by Brett, all present in favor.
Respectfully submitted, Rana Holmer, Clerk
