Maintenance Report: Driveway permit for Wittenmeyer’s has been moved (their choice) so permit wasn’t given. Garbage bags have been ordered, they are having trouble getting them, but we have enough for now.
Road inspection was this past Thursday. Discussed all the roads that need to be fixed and all could come to approximately $65,000, which only leaves about $20,000 for all the crack filling, salt/sand, ect…
Kevin will get all the pricing road by road so we have a more exact figure to go by.
