Road Report:

There was a discussion on possibly having a stop sign put up on Lee Johnson Road and Hessel Valley Road. We need to contact Penndot to see if this can be done. There was a discussion on road oil and maintaining the roads that we already have. Carl Black stated that grading is not cutting out the potholes. They are not getting to the bottom of the pothole, so therefore it keeps coming back. Randy Brown asked about oiling. Brian stated that we will possibly be doing some next week. The road crew has been painting, welding the stone boxes. The new tires have been put on the grader. They should be doing more grading towards the end of the week.
