Strad asked how the salt and grit is lasting.  Pahanish said it is good, and we haven’t had any trouble getting it.  It is $38.50 a ton.

 

 

Public Speaks Session

 

Tom O’Dell would like to see that they ask for help getting enforcement for the 25% weight reduction during the 4 months that the signs are up in the Township asking for the weight reductions.  It doesn’t make sense to have these trucks driving on the roads overweight, and having trouble proving it since there is a scale that they all go on right at the landfill.
