New Business

A section of Swamp Road that had washed out because of the recent heavy rains was repaired. East Bestul Road also had some ongoing washing out issues. Work on the shouldering on the East end of East Bestul Road, by Chad Bestul Excavating at a cost of about $3000, was approved with a motion by Gary Chich, second by Jeff Oppor.

Several residents from the Moon Lake Retreat Road area were present to voice their concerns over how bad of shape that Road was in. It has also washed out and has several potholes in the blacktop. Jeff Oppor of the board said he would inspect the road and then the board would look into the repairs as the budget allows. More likely the work could be scheduled for next spring.

Chip Sealing has been completed on the three roads mentioned last month. The Town tractor needed some repairs and were completed.
