Topics:
A letter received from Valerie was reviewed and comments were made in general about each of the 3 roads sited in the letter. Additional comments were made specific to 5 mile between Curtis and Saiko (first ½ mile) one of those roads. The estimate for this road work was $30,532 for a ½ mile of gravel. Question ask: Are their options that can be considered outside the normal approach? The answer was, no one knew of anything in particular, a bond was discussed but no one knew a lot of the details. Suggestion was to call Midland County Road Commission to discuss other options.
Estimated 2010 Money available for road work $83,000 + $36,887 (from county) + $28,380 carry over + Township $10,000 = $158,000
Other Floor Options: General discussions occurred about roads being considered for 2010 roadwork.
Roads work estimates on roads under consideration: Hull Road (east of Stark) - $114,305 - 2007 spent $120,000 on road E. Baker Road (between Stark and Dublin) - $107,000 - 2008 spent $39,000 on road Curtis Road (reworked and paved) - $155,700 5 mile (road work, see above) - $30,532
2009 was the first of the 4 your road millage, so millage goes through 2012.
