A resident called to ask for speed bumps by the beach on 331st Ave. by Pillsbury Beach. The board discussed speed bumps with the county engineer. He stated that the township may be liable for vehicle damage caused by speed bumps and noted that the bumps may cause excessive noise as people drive over them. Speed signs don’t do much good, so he recommended using “the little green men” to alert drivers to caution in that area. After discussion the board declined to put up temporary speed bumps.
In the road report dust control is almost done spraying in the township. The board discussed road conditions and more trees to be removed on 331st Ave. The board will look into doing more areas of dust control to cut down on blading expenses.
Weed inspections will be starting soon. Supervisors discussed what areas to cover and were given hand-outs on noxious weed information to share with land owners.
The Treasurer’s report shows balance of $159,050.65. Report approved on a motion by Sup. Berscheit and second by Sup. Muellner. Motion passed.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:36 p.m. on a motion by Sup. Berscheit and a second by Sup. Johnson. Next regular meeting will be on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 at 7 pm in the Burtrum Community Center.
