Concerns from the public were addressed. They would like to see more sand applied to the town roads and would like to see if Double N could be plowed sooner than it has been in the past due to the heavier traffic that is on the road from the citizens in that area of the Township. There were also complaints of too much manure left on the roads by the haulers this year. The Board will look into these matters to see if they can take action to try to rectify these problems.
