Mail included advertising, census count, Notice of the Broadband meeting in Browerville and an auction poster for Breezy Drive property.
Road and Bridge Report: Ray reported that Scherping had done a good job on the trimming and mulching, BBL access looks good, and that Ron had done a good job on the clean up of branches after the storm. Ron reported the ditch work was done on 337th.
Both Ray and Ron felt that after another major storm the cost to remove trees and branches not just from the road, but also out of the road ROW should be charged back to the property owners. Ray suggested for next year maybe renting a boom mower to clear brush further out than the normal mowing. An email from the weed inspector at Todd County offered some grant monies that are available to Townships for Noxious weed control. Supervisors questioned whether it could be used for mowing costs. Clerk will check this out.
Additional agenda item: Fire Board meeting will be held November 23 at 7:00, Mike will attend. An email was received from Greg Smith of Little Falls Township regarding a comprehensive plan for the Township. He will attend the December meeting.
Ron asked that board members start thinking about uses for the ARPA plan and whether the BBL access could be covered with those dollars. Also, how much of the brushing would fall under that COVID category.
Public Comment: Erv asked if the board would agree to wait until next spring to complete the work on 150th. All were ok with that, as it is getting late in the season.
Adjournment: Motion by Mike to adjourn the meeting. Ray made the second. Meeting adjourned at 8:55 pm.
