Larry Johnson gave the road report. Drake Avenue was repaired. Gravel was added and regraded several times. Larry will monitor that road to see if additional grading is needed. A discussion was held on spraying town roads with a herbicide to save on mowing of town roads. It was decided to continue mowing town roads as in the past.
The progress on the Agricultural Road Improvement Program (ARIP) project for Copper Road was discussed. Bids are in and were supposed to be awarded at tonight’s meeting, but because environmental impact studies won’t be done until the first of June, no bids were awarded. Project engineer Svet Roussev, was on a conference call to discuss the environmental impact studies. It was decided to have a town meeting on Monday, June 2, 2025, to discuss if we will have to delay the start of the road project until next year. Contractors have to have a starting date of June 15.
The Monroe County Solid Waste office will hold an electronic recycling program this fall. The Town of Scott will tentatively do this the first week of September. More details will be available after our June meeting.
