Todd left a voicemail for Ashley Briard on 10/10 to slow down on 460th Ave. On 10/24 talked to Dwight Drewes regarding culvert billing. Also noticed double arrow on 430th/120th st was hit. Called Grant Graham and he will order a new sign and install it. Also noticed one culvert marker was knocked over. Todd will reinstall it. On Nov 2 talked to a Gail Ullrich regarding Dan snow plowing her driveway like Drewes used to. Contacted Dan and he does not want to do driveways. Called Gail back and informed her our snowplow contractor will not plow her driveway she should check with Silverleaf Township as she actually resides in their township. Dan did say he is looking for another snow plow truck, but no luck as of yet. A litter hauler called saying the State of MN wants them to haul turkey manure using 460th ave due to the Avian Flu in the area and this avoids other turkey farms. Told him to go ahead. Dwight did call and they are going to finish seeding 430th ditches since we have such nice weather yet.
