Randy Powers reported that the dumpsters have continued to be full come recycling day and it looks like we will continue to run into this problem.  Discussion on getting another dumpster occurred.  Greg made a motion to add another recycling dumpster, Mark seconded it.  Motion passed.  We will see how this goes and return it if recycling slows down in the winter months.

Mark Platta will be attending the Brainerd/Baxter fire service advisory committee meeting Sept. 9, 2015

Susan Kern gave the treasurer’s report.  Claims were examined by the supervisors, approved and paid.   

Dave made a motion to move $248 from the Golden Oaks road development fund to the road & bridge fund (the money was withheld from the original deposit to cover the cost of sign installation).  Mark seconded it.  Motion passed unanimously.

Greg made a motion to transfer the original $2,000 deposit which had been made by the Golden Oaks developer to cover road maintenance costs.  It will be moved from the general fund to the Golden Oaks road development fund to be held for road maintenance until the township takes over the road.  Dave seconded the motion.  Motion passed unanimously. 

Dave cleaned up the sand washout on the cul-de-sac on the end of Erin Road.  A letter will be sent to the property owner at 5372 Erin Road to inform the owners that from now on they will cover the labor & costs by the township if the matter is not cared for by them.  The owner has been sent two letters previously regarding the situation requesting he take care of the problem himself. 

Dave gave an update on Tri City’s progress on the road construction project and gave the supervisors a list of areas to go inspect the work for feedback/approval.  Areas of concern will be shared with Tri City.

Dave reported that the Frontier ditch mower was returned and the replacement (John Deer) ditch mower is working well.
