OLD BUSINESS: It was noted that the casting on a manhole cover on W. Lake Jessie Road was broken. Clerk Raisanen commented that locating these problem areas should be a routine matter every fall. Chairman Eldevik concurred. Chairman Eldevik and Supervisor Dahlheimer will work with a contractor and ALASD to correct.
Chairman Eldevik reported there is an issue with vehicles driving into the ditch along Maple Drive. The road shoulder has a ridge which prevents vehicles from steering back to the road surface if they go off the pavement. Supervisor Oberg reported the road maintenance contractor has been responsive to requests for additional salt/sand placement.
NEW BUSINESS: Clerk Raisanen presented a draft pay equity report that is required every three years to complete for compliance for all employees.

Being no further business, Dahlheimer, seconded by Butz, made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 6:22 p.m.
Respectfully submitted….
