David and Amy Main were present to discuss the Buffalo Creek Road water issue. Dave talked to Charlie Cogger today about the problem.

Dave told Mr. Main that he did not need to change his driveway or culvert.

The shoulder erosion on the east end of Cook Road was discussed. Greg made a motion to shoulder Cook Road from Forest Heights Drive to CSAH 45 and spray oil on the new shoulders if the price quote from Tri-City Paving is still valid. Doug seconded, motion passed.
