David Shipley, Riley Road – Riley Road concerns.

Need dust control for the road.  Dannette shared we applied for an Engineers estimate to solid surface the road.  Cost = $594,000.  Our township is required to put down 20%.  He acknowledged this and asked for ditch work, a better base, and dust control.  He stated that there is a place for us to dump spoils.  We can also borrow equipment if we need, just ask.

Patti and Tracy Gardner, 5808 Cat Run Road  – Cat Run Road concerns.  

The culvert is not working and water is running down the road.  They presented a petition from residents on the road that want the road paved.  Dannette expressed similar concern with costs as Riley Road.
