Snowplowing update:
1. Contract with S&G – unaffordable for our township, town of Leon’s bill $31,481.25 for November &
December 2025.
2. Back up driver for Terry Elendt: Jim Bouma & George Huerth both said they would consider being the
backup driver.
3. Repairs to curbs along Hwy 49: responsibility is the state and county.
4. Kari Rodencel inquired about the dump road, 31st Drive. Jeff stated the town was getting estimates for a
cost-effective solution for this road, as last spring rain washed the road out after it was just graded. A
more long-term solution is being looked at and estimated with Scott Construction but was tabled due
to early snow coverage, it is to be addressed again once snow is gone and a meeting can take place. Or
even recycled asphalt as another solution for the road.
New Business:
1. Review Fire Rescue Department Contract: 2026 $5/incident rate increase; reviewed and signed by Jeff,
and a check $ 2,580.00 for 2025 Rescue Service.
2. Discuss discontinuance of 34th Ave – request of Jim Chatterton: if 34th Ave is abandoned by the town all
the properties land would be land locked, and it is not in the best interest of the township with the lost
of highway revenue moneys if abandoned. Steve made motion, 2nd by John, all nays, motion fails.
Discuss and approve payment of current bills; Steve made motion, 2nd by John, all ayes, motion carried.
