CITIZEN’S CONCERNS: None
PLANNING AND ZONING: Zoning Administrator Ben Oleson had no items for the Board.
Eldevik updated the Board on the trailer that has been parked on the gravel strip of road located between 2710 and 2611 Le Homme Dieu Heights NE. The trailer has been ticketed for parking in the road right-of-way. Eldevik stated that the road in this particular area was narrow and any parked vehicles or trailers would restrict safe traffic flow and likely impede access by emergency response vehicles. Eldevik questioned whether the town should post no parking signs. After discussion by the Board, Wright, seconded by Butz, made a motion to authorize no parking signs to be placed along this section of road. Motion passed unanimously.
ENGINEER’S REPORT: None
OLD BUSINESS: Meuwissen provided the Board with the results of our advertised request for summer road maintenance services. Only one quote was received, from Alden Just Road Maintenance. This contractor meets all the minimum specifications listed in the published RFP. Meuwissen read the proposed rates per hour and fuel costs, comparing them to the 2024 contract rates.
Wright, seconded by Dahlheimer, made a motion to accept the proposal and award the contract for summer road maintenance services to Alden Just Road Maintenance. Motion carried unanimously.
There being no other business, Chairman Eldevik adjourned the meeting at 6:27 PM
Respectfully submitted….
