Road Superintendent
Mr. Kelley reported that he had been busy repairing road signs damaged by the recent high winds. He said he had cut the berm coming down the overpass over the turnpike at Kaiser’s on Thomas Road, because it was flooding their driveway. He said he cut the berm and diverted the water off the road.
Mr. Kelley said Ed Stallkamp had discussed the drainage problem on Harris Road with him again. Mr. Kelley said he had tried last year to work on it but the neighbor had complained that he didn’t want anybody digging in his front yard. Mr. Kelley said that he really wanted to have Perkins Township come out with their truck and clean the tile to see where the clog was before digging anybody’s yard up. The Trustees said they understood trying to find the tile clog, but if it was necessary to dig the tile up, the property owners need to realize that it is in the road right of way.
Mr. Kelley said they wanted to start crack sealing, but the weather has been too wet to do anything.
Trustees:
