Leaf pickup started last week. The leaf drop has been lite so far. The trucks make a pass through the entire township. This takes about 2 weeks depending on weather and leaf volume.
Miscellaneous concrete work will be suspended soon due to colder weather conditions. There is a plan to hold the contract to Horowitz over until next year since the work contracted for is not yet complete.
IDOT did award the salt contracts. The vendor is Compass Minerals. We have used this company the last time we participated in the State’s program. We ordered 1500 tons of salt and the price is $63.86/ton. We will pay for this out of the MFT (Motor Fuel Tax) account.
There was a formula error in the road district amended budget presented last month. The error was corrected and did not affect the total amount that was approved previously.
