Chairman Chuck Huffman called the meeting to order and Clerk Jim Van Wychen read the minutes of February board meeting. Minutes approved as read.
Paul Shepherd gave the treasurer’s report. We will have to wait until our state highway aids payment arrives in April in order to pay the balance of Scott Construction bill. Supervisor Henry Van Wychen moved and Dan Draeger seconded a motion to approve treasurer’s report and file for audit. Motion passed.
Larry Johnson gave the town road report. We should have enough sand and salt for the rest of the season. Larry put up the weight limit signs on our town roads. Once the frost is out and the roads dry up, he will look at what it will take to repair spots on Copper Road that broke up last fall due to heavy truck traffic. He will also clear out some trees from road right-of-way after the snow melts.
