3.      Road Discussion:   The work on Moravian and Nelson road in complete, the culvert has been replaced and the ditches fixed. The culvert on the corner was dug out and cleaned and then put back in.  The total bill on the road was $18,300.00 and we get the 50/50 cost sharing from the county on that.  Roger said this will be all the road work that will be done this year other that normal maintenance.  Doug Weber asked Lindsay if the trees could be cut going back to Komisars’, they are hitting the semis when hauling grain. Joe asked Mark Westerberg if we could push the trees into his field and Mark was wondering if he could cut some of trees along the road himself.  Roger said that we could not give permission for him to do that because of the liability issue.  Joe will wait to push the trees into the field until the rest are cut back...
