Township Engineer/Tom Peterson
Michael Hinz made a motion to approve Resolution Number 01-20-04-01 Approving Plans
and Specifications and Ordering Advertisement for Bids for the 2004 Road Project. Nancy
Madden seconded the motion and motion adopted unanimously.
A petition was presented by citizens to consider Parrish Road to be designated as a Collector
Road. Erich Kertzcher stated that Parrish connects to three (3) major roads and therefore collects
traffic from highway 97 and County Road 3. It was consensus of the Town Board that Parrish
was designated as a non -collector in the Comprehensive Plan and to change a road definition in
the middle of a project presents a problem and sets a precedent. A definition plan of collector
roads and non collectors roads should be addressed. No action was taken on this petition.
