Reviewed the letter received from Joe Krueger, Brown & Krueger, regarding the sale of township lake accesses on northeast side of Mound Lake and the north end of Big Birch Lake. It was his opinion that the parcels could not be sold. The parcels could be vacated and the land would then return to the adjoining neighbors. Ray felt the board would like to have a township attorney review the paperwork as he felt they were more knowledgeable and had told both him and Mike the properties could be sold. June 9th has been set for opening bids for the tar project.
Cozy Cove: Property owner has already spoken with Herdering and felt the water issue could be resolved with a little reshaping of the road. The supervisors were in agreement with this process. Several roads were reportedly having pothole, run-off and wash out issues due to the heavy rain.
A notice will be posted and published for ditch mowing service. The quotes should be by the hour. The board will provide a map of roads not to be mowed.
Mike felt if we are doing a tar project now we need to plan for which road should be next, that way if there is prep work it can be done over a period of time.
