inspection of the work completed between the contractor and the township road
supervisor. Mark seconded the motion,

Dave shared
the road report. He had to pick up road
markers/stakes & lathe before he mowed ditches, it was Tri-City’s
responsibility to pick these items up after finishing road construction. Things
that remain to be done on 50th
Ave include: unplugging the culverts full of gravel, removing the silt fence
and removing the culvert in the ditch. There
is a stop sign on Buffalo Creek Road that needs to be straightened, it appears
to have been pushed or hit by a vehicle.
