Roadmaster:
$4,000 was spent by the Roadmaster. Chairman Poust stated that the appropriate way to pay bills is to have them approved, not to come in with high bills. There will be 2- 5ton loads of blacktop needed for next month. The board authorized this purchase.
A citizen questioned why it needed to be brought to the board prior to work being done and why more materials would not be made available. The board said that it was not stated that more materials would not be made available. However, the Roadmaster should get a list of what may need to be purchased so there is a general idea of how much will be spent each month.
Mr. Jorich was present for his Rivermist Subdivision plans. He stated that he didn’t know about Mr. Walker’s issues with the bonding. Chairman Poust reminded Mr. Jorich that he had neglected to turn in his paperwork by the deadline set. Mr. Jorich then asked the Board for a recommendation. The Board gave no recommendations and reminded Mr. Jorich that the secretary has made contact and received no response from him. Discussions led to Mr. Jorich submitting a hand written request for a 30 day time extension which stated July 23 as his deadline to turn in his paperwork and pay his bills.
Planning Commission:
SALDO: Was given to Secretary, PC met last month to review it.
