Road Report

 

Pahanish read the road report.

 

He said they tested the roller and everyone liked it.

He stated that they have been mowing cemeteries, and built some catch basins.

He did say that on Martin Dr. the utility companies are looking to move the utilities at the end of October if we get a written agreement between us and the neighbors.  Mr. Allender is the only hold out at this time.

Also, they are working on Elson.

He did say that on Briggle, there is a road crossing pipe about 60’ feet long and it is plugged up.  It is a 12” pipe and gets plugged every time it rains and needs to be replaced by a bigger unit.
