OLD BUSINESS

Gary says that the new batteries have been installed and fuel purchased for the grader/plow at $3.32 per gallon.

Road work – Plowing was done on February 22, 2011 for Heller Road. New Dosey is to be billed for one quarter hour at a cost of $37.50.

Have had no answer from Mel for Arna Township whether to charge them or they will charge them twice. Gary will continue to look into this.

NEW BUSINESS

Mike asked if we were to fix the garage the grader is in would it be covered in the Road and Bridge Fund. Patrice said yes that the funds could be transferred to Road and Bridge as it relates to the grader. Glen said that we are in good financial shape and have been balancing our funds well. He said that we need to fix the building. They will want to check out the Fire Hall during the Road Inspection. They could also do a levy or take it out of the Road and Bridge Fund. Per Patrice, we have Certificates of Deposit available under Road and Bridge but are not needed.

Toni handed out the Budget for 2012 with changes and there was general discussion on costs. Glen did a comparison of 2010 to 2011. We are up with $17,000 in funds available.

Old Business:

Gary got the grader batteries and according to Mark they did not work. Not cold cranking.

Glen heard from Ryberg regarding gravel pile and requested that Ryberg send his response in writing. We have not heard from him as of the meeting. According to Gary he stated that he took the sand and said “I should have asked permission”. Glen stated that the issue was addressed to him in writing and his response should be in writing. Gary will go through books on what was used, but Ryberg did not say how much was taken.

A question was posed by Mike if Mark will still be our main grader. Mark responded that he would.

Supervisors read misc. mail. There was some discussion on request for any claims, there were none. The Seven County Sr. Assoc. wrote asking for donations. There was discussion, but no motion to donate.

BOARD OF AUDIT:

End of year report by Treasurer and Clerk was reviewed and approved by Supervisors.

Road Report by Gary :

Heller Rd road work done on Jan 15, 2011, Bill was sent to New Dosey Clerk. Gary mentioned that on February 2nd, they only plowed driveways.

Mark spoke with Randy Buerman to do electric garage opener, weather stripping and misc. work. Bid was $1,160. There was discussion that the current doors are hard to open. It was mentioned by Glen that this will wipe out the fund, but that it was reasonable. Gary mentioned it would have to be done at some time. Mike mentioned that the dripping is bad. There is damage from a tornado several years ago. Weather stripping should also be done on all sides and it was noted to have the bid broken down and to get a second bid. Randy can have it done in two weeks.

Glen asked Mark how the plowing/Grader training was going with Frank Rehberger. Mark said that the training is going good and he handled the equipment very well. Mark asked if he was comfortable to have him do it alone if he was not available. Mark said yes and it was suggested that we give him a list of addresses to plow.

Glen gave condolences to Mark Pallow on the passing of his sister.
