Motion by Nindorf/Knapmiller to recommend Coulee Country Excavating for the three projects in the Country Estates/Bice Addition/Brentwood Addition area. MOTION carried. CULVERT INSERTS Hoffman reviewed the plan set last year to contract with Subsurface, Inc. to install culvert inserts and that nine culverts were identified for inserts over the next two years. Discussion followed concerning costs and priorities. David Carlson, Town Crew member, was directed to obtain more information on the status of the nine culverts and return with a priority list. Item will be discussed next month. CULVERT: O. THOMPSON ROAD Hoffman reported on an option to install rip-rap around the large culvert that would secure the grate. Lyzwa estimated the work would cost $2,000-3,000. Discussion followed. Carlson was directed to obtain quotes to provide either (1) the rock or (2) to provide both the rock and do the work. Item will be discussed next month. 2025 PROJECTS Carlson noted there is another culvert on O Thompson Road that appears to be collapsing. Lyzwa suggested either repair plates/bands could shore the cattle culvert or to cut out the area and insert a smaller culvert with back fill around. It was the consensus to gather further information and discuss next month. draft 2 Carlson noted end walls are collapsing on a culvert on the Flaten Road hill that should get some attention this year. He will get some quotes for conducting the work. Item will be discussed next month. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS & ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hoffman reported the Gaynor Addition stormwater work seems to be working. Lyzwa reported the swales are full and sending excess water to the pond so it is working as it should. He noted that the Pine Lane reconstruction is working as designed. He also checked a few other areas in the Town and found only one dry pond was full. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Nindorf/Paape to adjourn. MOTION carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:47 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Marilyn Pedretti, Town Clerk
