8:00 Jan VandeBogart, Road Agent - Highway Budget

 

A discussion ensued regarding the hourly rate for the individuals

plowing, which ranges between $50 - $57, and whether the winter budget

should be raised from $85,000.00.  Jan reviewed the changes in line

items, including supplies and telephone.  Jan then reviewed other line

items, including Other Services-Ind. Contr.  Jan indicated that the

1986 one-ton dump truck will need to be replaced soon.  One possibility

is using the old police truck, in the event that the dump truck dies

this year.  Jan will check with the Acting Police Chief, Joe Milioto. 

J.R. questioned why the gas expense is up.  Jan indicated that his

truck now uses gas, not diesel.  J.R. asked what Jan's plans are for road

projects this year.  They include repairing culverts on Twist Hill, County

and Robert Rogers Roads.  J.R. would like to see the roadsides cleaned

out. 

 

J.R. made a motion, seconded by Chuck Graybill, to adjourn the

meeting 8:45.  The motion carried.
