Correspondence & Reports
Supervisor, John Dawson:
- Investment Report: The Investment Report ending on February 6th, 2019 was accepted as presented by the board.
- Will only review bills at tonight’s meetings and will reconcile at next month’s meeting.
Road Commissioner, Frank Sturm, II:
- All tarped salt is now in dome. Should have enough for the remainder of winter believe.
- Porter Brothers did not re-grade Ivy Lake Road. It has a lot of potholes. A couple of residents have complained, but they understand. That not much can be done right now.
- I don’t know how many freeze/thaw cycles we have had this winter, but we are seeing a lot of potholes. Every state, county and city roadway is suffering from the same problem.
- Received a call from CAT last month. They said we were late with the annual loader payment. Apparently, we received it in November, since it was due 12/02/18. Our CPA did not receive the invoice. Mandy found it last month and sent it to the CPA. CAT said we would be in default if we didn’t pay it, so I approved it for payment. We are looking into why Katie never received it and are trying to create a safeguard so it doesn’t happen again.
- Found out a couple of weeks ago that the roadways in River Ridge Subdivision were never formally accepted into our road system, even though we have been maintaining them for a long time. That process is now started.
- Received an email from SC2 on Wilkins Dr. with two requests. The first one was to ask for us to fill some potholes. The second one was for us to look at a long-term fix for this roadway. The long-term fix is to remove and replace it. This road has served its useful life. I ran some very preliminary numbers this morning, and it would be in the $750,000+ range. The biggest problem is how to maintain traffic during construction. I suggested that we meet this spring to discuss.
- We are working with resident on Melaik, that lives near where shooting occurred last month, to have a new street light installed.
