Public Participation:
Mr. Mock – 6 months ago asked about culvert on Thompson Run. Taylor – Will put plastic pipe through it as it is about gone. Plastic will hang down but that will be fine. Mr. Mock is very disappointed that the County will not be straightening up the bridge due to right-of-way concerns on County’s side. Mr. Mock states that the Safety concerns are worth trying to do it right now at the time of repair. Trustee Stephenson will call.
Fire Department Business:
Nobody present – 14 Fire Runs, 52 EMS for a total of 66 for month.

Larry Taylor
o Mowing now.
o Workman – Fultonham Corp to concrete bridge will not be chip sealed this year due to logging.
o Ford Rd – Creek bed is still issue, can’t keep flooding. Will call Van Slack.
Trustee Smith – Needs some holes filled.
Trustee Elson – Would like to see both mowing if we can.
