Bear Trail has wash boarding on corners. Grundy Road chipseal needs repaired asap. It won’t be done till late summer. Leave barricades up until repairs are done. There are some roads that have spots that need brushing redone by JJ Brushing. Supervisors will contact JJ and give them the locations that need redone.
Town Hall: Stripping for parking lot done.
Deputy Clerk: still looking.
Skanawan Lake Road Bridge: nothing new. Ben was notified that grant money was approved. However, it is a long process would not be completed till 2028. Estimate of grant payment would be that 80% by State, 10% Township, and 10% County. Township would probably be paying approximately $150K for bridge. Ben did get an estimate by Musson Brothers to do a single lane culvert instead of a bridge. This would probably cost the same amount and be done much sooner. Ben will pursue if DNR will approve this project.
