TOWN BUSINESS ~ Supervisor:
Russ thanked Rhonda and Denny for keeping the mailbox cleared while he was on vacation.

CLERK BUSINESS:

ROAD BUSINESS ~ Highway Commissioner:
Denny said he has had to do a lot of repairs to vehicles. This meant they were putting rock down with a one-ton truck because all the other trucks were down. Porter Brothers graded and it looked good then the bumps showed up the next day and Cal graded it again. Then it rained so hard they had to put more rocks down to absorb the water. Hopefully next week we’ll begin sealcoating Stranz, Tuscarora Hill and Gerdes Rd.
When they did the subdivision years ago, they didn’t dedicate Hickory to the township. The state put in asphalt right by Tommy’s house. He does have a problem, as water is coming down the hill. Denny will call the farmer who may have diverted the water.

TRUSTEES/ Information / Business:
Dwayne commented on the discussion on how bad the turn on Lafayette is and stated that it is really bad. Denny said it may come down to a lawsuit with Ameren. They have requested all the FOIA information. Rhonda Robbins asked if there was going to be a guard rail for the culvert on Lafayette. Denny said they already have the material for it.

TAX ASSESSOR’S OFFICE / Information / Business:
Nothing.

OLD UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
None

NEW BUSINESS:
None
