PROCEDURAL The meeting was called to order, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, then roll call was taken. It was noted that the meeting was properly noticed and posted. Steve Brandt reported the small snow events are eating up the salt and the sand. 42-ton salt and 84-ton sand has been brought in to bring the supply up to par. He explained why the salt shed now needs to be locked. The sand shed is a 4 to 1 mix (sand to salt) and available for residence to use. Truck 3’s air tank sprung a leak during a snow event. Both tanks and hangers have been replaced, and bad wires are being replaced. A main swing ram on the reserve truck is done. Insta chains have been added to trucks. Smithback road is a challenge due to solar construction traffic and all the mud left on the road. The potholes are filled with gravel, but it is a bandage. Koshkonong Road will be getting cold patch again but with the freeze thaw it won’t last. He mentioned an electronic recycling opportunity he would check into and report back about.

Some further discussion ensued regarding the audit Oakland is working on and that it should be completed by now. PUBLIC COMMENT A member of the community commented on the Smithback Road situation stating Koshkonong Solar should have gotten access to the site off of 73 rather than off of Smithback Road which isn’t made for that type of traffic. He spoke his concerns to the project manager but to no avail.
