  • Town Resident, Donnelle Grodahl, asked if we could add a second Public Comment to the end of the meeting as well as the beginning. Board discussed and agreed that it could be added just before adjournment.

2024 Road Projects:

  • Mower is down again- looking for used bar to try to keep using. Cost to get new parts is more than mower is worth. Scot will look into what is available, hoping to find a cutter bar for $4,000 or less.
  • A resident asked Supervisor Stock if we were willing to take on another road. Resident is putting a driveway/road in and would like the Town to take the road. Town is not interested. The State Aid we receive for roads is less than what it costs the Town for upkeep.
