REVIEW OF BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 2007
Nancy Madden made a motion to approve the Proposed Levy for 2007 in the amount of
$1,533,930.00 (a 3.4% increase from 2006) to be presented at the Reconvened Annual
Meeting on August 15, 2006. Blair Joselyn seconded the motion and motion adopted.
2006 CULVERT REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Road Engineer Tom Peterson submitted a plan to replace 26 existing CMP culverts with RCP
culverts under gravel roads that are proposed to be paved in future road projects, at a cost of
$140,000.00. Mr. Peterson recommended to include in the plan three old culverts on Quinnell
Avenue, a paved road, that are in bad condition. Two culverts are shallow 15" corrugated metal
and the third is a 48" concrete pipe that is pulled apart on one end. This would add approximately
$30,000.00 to the project. Discussion was held to place an alternate bid to repair the 48" concrete
pipe if possible.
Nancy Madden made a motion to authorize an ad for bids the 2006 Culvert Replacement
Plan at a cost of $170,000.00, with an alternate bid to be included to repair the 48" concrete
pipe rather than replace the culvert. Michael Harnetty seconded the motion and motion
adopted.

the motion and motion adopted.

RICHARD LUND
Richard Lund, 11780 Scandia Trail, approached the Board with a question regarding use of an
existing driveway that is not being used to the north of his property of 28 acres along Lofton
Avenue. Mr. Lund has plans to build a home oil this lot and would like advise on the legal
approach to using this existing driveway as his access. Mr. Lund does have the permission of the
landowner. Mr. Lund has over 800 feet of road frontage on his lot, and there is a distance of 400
feet to the next closest driveway to the north. The Board informed Mr. Lund that there would be
no objection to the driveway being created across the adjacent property and that Mr. Lund should
obtain a permanent easement for this use.
Nancy Madden made a motion to adjourn the meeting and meeting adjourned.
