Wood County Hwy will be contacted to do that replacement. Patching of Town roads is being completed. Pulverizing is still not being done because culverts have not been completed yet on Pine/Schudy – again because of the rainy weather and scheduling at Wood County Hwy Department. Gravel roads have been graded. 12. CITIZEN INPUT - There has been a lot of extra traffic on Town roads (including semis) because of the construction on Hwy 73. Residents feel that better signage should be installed. Goodwin will contact the contractor to see what can be done. Police will also be contacted regarding this problem. Tracy Ostrander stated that the water flow in ditches on Schroedel Rd is a concern. It will be checked out. Goodwin stated that garbage/recycling is becoming a problem because “out of town” people are dumping in our bins. A sticker process may be adopted. Fines can be levied when this illegal dumping takes place. Tires being dropped off in ditches is also a problem. 13. OPEN AND READ CORRESPONDENCE, IF ANY – Correspondence was opened and read. 14.
