Township Road No. 57 Grant Update – Ted and Les met with John Strolic from the DNR yesterday.  Met and discussed problem area.  Will be short on the bridge so it doesn’t look like it will happen.  They rail road will put lights and arms by the railroad track though.  They looked at the project also.  At this point, the railroad is the roadblock and not stepping up to the plate.  Ted’s position is to do the same thing as we did at Delaware .  We’ll black top to the right-of way and the railroad will have to do the rest.  John stated that the money is allocated and they would not leave us with a blank spot.  The county and Halling Engineering will crunch numbers to get the hill and the rest of the road blacktopped to the highway.

 

Union Pacific Railroad – As noted above.

 

Scenic Byways – Tabled.

 

Road Maintenance Report – Ditch mowing was done.  Some double cuts were done.  Need to keep an eye out for thistle patches.  Dust coating and road grading looks good.

Ted stated that the punch list with Chard still has some pending items. 

 

Les stated that Baxter’s in Sioux Vista got sold and put a big riding arena in.  When doing this, they trespassed over the neighbor’s property.  No trespassing signs were posted and they said “Property of St. Lawrence Township”.  No one knows whom put these signs up but think it was the person that owns the log cabin next door.  Les or Ted will check into this. 

 

Park benches – Motion by Ted and seconded by Les to approve three park benches to be installed at Scott County Fair Grounds.  No further discussion.  Motion carried by all.

 

No further business to come before the meeting.  Motion by Les and seconded by Hubie  to recess meeting to all other meetings for the next month.  No discussion.  Motion carried.
