Meeting called to order. Members present: John Vehrenkamp, Natasha Olson, Mike Anderson
Others present: Neil Olson Cty Hwy Commissioner, Eric Olson
Motion to accept meeting minutes as presented by Tasha, 2nd by Mike, motion carried.
Neil brought in bridge inspections & to talk to us about the process for getting Robinson Ln grant completed. Neil said Trempealeau Cty can take it over and do all the paperwork of it, they are already processing 5 others and if the board were to change next year, then it is being handled by ones that know what is going on with it. He did give us the next steps if we wanted to handle it ourselves but after discussion it made sense to let them do it since they have done these in the past and know exactly how to handle it. He will keep us updated on the process and will have us copied on emails so we stayed informed.
Tractor/mower update- They are still waiting on parts we will get it when we get it.
Bridge update- Whalen Rd bridge is set for 2027 now.
Budget planning- Art’s truck will be needing to replaced in the next truck rotation, we are working on having a truck replaced every 5 yr, this will need to happen within next couple years. Dan Erickson said he could fix Art’s box floor to hold it together until we can replace it. There is discussion on getting the guys a second pickup also and Jerome will be needing a new sander.
Went through mail & bills-
Approved checks: 24380-24390
Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
