Old Business:
• Policy Changes for sand and salt purchases from Dodge County were tabled to next meeting.
• Linda explained the town’s options for purchasing a tractor to move/load sand/salt at our town hall this winter. She also explained that voter approval was not necessary for this purchase because even if the tractor being discussed were purchased, the township is still $62,000 under the maximum allowed road expenditure amount for the township, while purchases above the allowed amount require voter approval. Arthur moved to buy a used John Deere tractor with two buckets (instead of leasing one) for loading sand and salt at the town hall, 2nd by Raymond, motion passed and carried.

This plan identifies areas in the township with potential hazards that may have solutions (culverts not adequate, trees at risk of falling with high winds, etc.). and may allow the township to apply for grant monies if they become available in the future. Arthur moved to complete the plan and return it to Dodge County by the 8/31/11 deadline, 2nd by Raymond, motion passed and carried.
