The Spring Road Inspection was held on Saturday, May 16, 2009 beginning at 7:00 a.m. at the Sugar Grove Township building with Chairman Randy Brown, Supervisor Carl Black, Supervisor George Sanders, Road Crew Foreman Brian Larson, and secretary Kathie Liffner present. Numerous roads were inspected with problem areas being noted.

 

Creek Road:  Grade and cut the berm between Younies and Trask Road and put on a good coating of oil.

 

Dobson Road:  Berms need cut back.

 

Stoddard Road:  The road needs raised.

 

Sanders Road:  The berm needs cut back.

 

Eccles Road:  The bank slide in the creek on the curve was discussed.  The trees in the creek need taken care of.

 

Corner of Rounds Hill and Wilson Road:  It needs to be ditched and roll the dirt back towards the property owners side.  Build the corner up about 1 with decent ditch dirt for about 4 wide.

 

Rounds Hill Road:  The cross pipe at Leachs needs dug out at the end.  We also need to seal the blacktop portion.

 

Irvine Run Road:  There needs to be a 15 cross pipe just over the hill.

 

Samuelson Road:  Needs to be oiled to save the oil that we have there already.  In front of Gibsons it needs graded and reshaped and then oiled.

 

Fiddler Hill Road:  Needs to be graded, packed in and oiled.  The intersection from Brown Hill Road needs ditched and roll off the sod and oil it to define the line of the road again.

 

Deer Run Road:  If we can get millings from the state, we need to put them down starting at Matthews Run Road and go as far as we can.  The ditches need to be cuffed.

 

Corner of Deer Run and Goast Hill Road:  It needs about 1 of bank run and a cross pipe at the end of Goast Hill.

 

Penny Bank Road:  Needs gravel.

 

Sweeney Road:  Ditching, bring crown of road up.

 

Stilson Hill Road:  Ditch, pull in edges and bring the crown back up.

 

Murry Hill Road:  Needs crown back in the road

 

Swede Hollow Road:  It needs shaped and crown back in road from Daviss to Teal Hill Road.  There was also a discussion on the water and what to do down by Dennisons and Hagbergs. 

 

Jones Hill Road:  There was a discussion on the bridge.   It also needs gravel and ditching.

 

There was a discussion on the grader tires.  Carl Black made a motion to purchase tires for the grader from Johnsons Tire Service, seconded by George Sanders.  The motion carried.  Summer help was also discussed.  George Sanders made a motion to hire Colton Black with a 30-day probation period at $7.25 per hour, seconded by Randy Brown.  The motion carried with Carl Black abstaining from the vote due to it being related to the applicant.  The purchase of road oil, by residents, was also discussed.  The secretary will advertise that the township is curtailing road oil and any resident who wishes to purchase road oil may do so by calling the township for information and pricing.

 

 

 

Road Inspection was adjourned at 10:25 a.m.

Respectfully submitted, Katherine C. Liffner, Secretary
