ROAD REPORT – first mowing of town roads is complete; warranty work being done on tractor; getting equipment ready for winter; adding gravel to shoulders and washouts; filling pot holes; Randy Dennis of R&P Earth dug out patches and filled with gravel.

There are no candidates for the COMPHENSIVE PLANING COMMISSION so far.  The Board will continue looking.  Gerry Brodsky will step in as a last resort.

The COST OF PATCHING from Sawyer County Highway will be $7,600.  The Board decided to have Randy Dennis do the patching.  The wedge patch on River Road will need to be done by the County and we will get a separate estimate for this work.  Kay made a motion to hire Randy Dennis for patch work on River, Tiger Musky and Conger Roads and Sawyer County to do the River Road wedge patch; 2nd Lee Wilmsen; motion carried.

The Board reviewed the TOWN FINANCES through the month of July.

Lee Wilmsen has someone interested in being a SNOWPLOW DRIVER.  He will ask him to meet with Ty and then make the decision whether to hire him.  Current drivers are Brian Eppers, Carl Stone and Bill Rusk.
