was a call to Justin from the property owner to the North about some of Dillon's vehicles being over the property line. The
30 day timeframe to complete the cleanup is November 30, 2016. The Engholm property cleanup was discussed. It appears that

will be contacted to clarify what is eligible to be placed in the dumpster. There are still openings for recycling workers
on the 2017 schedule. Correspondence from St. Mathias Township was received indicating that their portion of 50th Avenue
will be gravel until it is paved next year.
The Planning Commission report included a request that was received to place a storage container on property in Barrows.
Crow Wing County allows them and the township has nothing in its Land Use Plan about the containers so they will be allowed.

Claims and the Treasurer's report were examined and approved.
Dave presented the road report. Strong Avenue has been dug up and Dave will try to level it off. The wetlands delineation

Tri City Paving has finished the culvert by 60th Avenue. They will be working on the others this week.
The equipment issues that occurred during the general election were discussed. Because the tabulator jammed a number
of times, all ballots had to be recounted at the courthouse at the end of the day. The county has indicated that they hope
to have new equipment for the next election.
The board examined the minutes from October 25, 2016. Greg made a motion accept the minutes, Dave seconded. Motion passed.
