Ted
explained that the board decided to pay for all of Sioux Vista to get dust-coating
as we didn't want complaints as to why some were done and some were not.
The township talked with Ruppe about it and the township based in on the
number of residents in Sioux Vista
and that many people and that many car counts, it would be considered high
density so we should just do it and be done with it.
RaeAnn
and Mona also asked that the township pay for a new QuickBooks version.
It was agreed that it would be purchased.
Motion
by Hubie and seconded by Les to approve bills to be paid.
No further discussion. Motion
carried by all.

Board thought it may be a good idea for the park fund money.

Old
Business:
Annexation
and developer’s agreement – Met with Jordan and they will be coming back to
us again. We did identify
serviceable land area and had some discussion on Jordan’s annexation area and
Belle Plaine’s annexation area. Number
of residents in this area. Good
discussion on how not to have someone sitting in no-man land.
Code
Enforcement Resolution – Board decided that they do not want to participate in
this at this time. Very comfortable
working with Mr. Eckholm at this time. Relationship
and process are working very effectively at this time and do not want to change
it. Will send response to Mike
Subota.
Township
Right of Way Ordinance – Still pending.
City
of Belle Plaine update – Information in packet for reference purposes.
Nothing has moved forward with the meeting with regards to getting the
Old Highway overlaid because of lack of participation from Belle Plaine
Township, Scott County and MN Dot.
City
of Jordan updates – As stated above with regards to annexation meeting.
MN
Dot updates – Nothing at this point.
Township
Road No. 57 Grant Update – Board met with Lenny Lexon from Scott County
Highway to go over punch list items. Chard
has a person hired to go over punch list and make sure all items are taken care
of. Some of the stuff has not been
done because it is too wet to go into the ditches.
Scott County Board approved project so the bid process is going out
tomorrow. Also did a 4” aggregate
lift on Township #57 where it was needed. Les
asked who is in charge of it now for blading purposes.
Ted to ask Lenny.
Union
Pacific Railroad – Ted asked RaeAnn if she had a phone number or e-mail
address for John Strohlich as Julie Karr needs to get his name and number to put
together a meeting for June 6th.
Have been approved through the Federal Government for a portion of this
funding. Will be a gap in here as
the railroad is not stepping up to the plate.
Wants to meet with everyone to get this going.
Meeting to be at Scott County Highway.
Scenic
Byways – Tabled.
Road Maintenance Report – There was a bunch of
carpet and a couple of chairs that were picked up on 218th and
Beaumont Way and also on the top of the hill by Lyle’s.
Ted disposed of it. Ted
complimented Les and Jim Stang on getting gravel down on the road and also
complimented Les on getting the dustcoating down.
Les also thanked Jim Stang. Also
stated that on 195th, it is dustcoated but may have a bit of a
challenge on that road. Hopefully it
will set up. All the rest are
holding up well. Also said that he
wanted to barter with the City of Jordan for ˝ of 185th Street
dustcoating for ˝ of the crack sealing on 190th to avoid all the
paperwork and just consider it a wash. Will
wait until we get something from the City of Jordan to see what we can do.
Hubert stated that Dave’s Excavating asked when they would like to mow
the ditches. Will look towards the 1st
of June or after and then right before the Fair.
Will keep him informed.
Ted stated that a question came up from a resident
with regards to the recycle day that we participated with Belle Plaine.
Resident wanted to know how they know whom we participate with. Notices
are put up and there is usually something in the paper.
