Road Superintendent
Mr. Kelley reported that he talked with Mike Stark about working on the 2002 International truck once all the parts were in. Mr. Stark said he would be available in a couple of weeks and would lineup a time with Mr. Kelley to get the work done. Mr. Kelley said that he was going to be busy crack sealing with the forecasted good weather, and the truck wasn’t currently needed, so the timeline worked into his schedule.
Mr. Kelley reported that the work replacing the soft spot and broken asphalt on Livengood Road had been completed.
Trustees
Mr. Leber said he had talked with Roe’s tree Service about the dead trees on Schaefer Road. They said after looking at the trees, because of their location to the overhead electric lines they will have to be cut and lowered with a crane.

After some discussion, Mr. Parker moved to approve $1250 dollars for removal of the dead trees, Mr. Leber seconded the motion. Roll was called, with all present voting yes; motion carried.
