ROAD REPORT: T. Rice stated that maintenance person T. Loberg has dumped out the sand and has cleaned up the truck. He has also started sealing the cracks on the road.   Discusson held about the Meixner property as he wants $900.00 before he will sign an agreement to be able to dump some dirt on his property & put up a guard rail on Sunset Valley Rd across from Wallins South Shore Dr. ( the $900.00 stems from driveway issue when we paved past his current residence on Sunset Valley Rd.) Board doesn’t feel we owe him the $900.00 as no one else’s driveway was paved up any further than his, this issue will be for T. Rice  to handle with Meixner. Still waiting for written approval from the Land Trust Co. for Margaret Larson property. B. Galles made a motion if we don’t have written approval from any & all appropriate agencies & landowner by April 21, 2005 dealing with Margaret Larson property that  we serve her written notice of intent in dirt moving & tree removal, seconded by B. Olson, motion carried.
