Road Commissioner: Frank Sturm:
- The 411/911 calls have stopped since Frontier disconnected the fax line. They still want to be paid for the previous calls that were made erroneously by their phone/fax line as there is no fax machine. We will not pay this bill.
- The 2018 truck from Koening is expected to be delivered in a week or two.
- The snow clearing from 2/2 and 2/3 went well and they received many compliments and one complaint. One truck broke down but they had the part in stock and repairs were completed within 2 hours. Most cars were off the streets, which helped tremendously. Thanks to Lake of the Woods for sending out an email blast to the residents regarding this.
- The road district will place its first salt order. Up to now, we have had enough salt on hand.
