SNOWPLOWING BIDS

Bids were received from Tom Rogers and Absolute Outdoor Services.  The board discussed whether the

two bidders included salt in the amounts.  Dan Lowe motioned to postpone this item so the clerk can gather 

more information from the bidders on what prices are for salting and whether it’s included in the bids.  

Dave Hamann seconded.  Motion carried 5-0.

SPRUCE RUN

Debra Wiedman-Clawson was present on behalf of Desine, Inc. to request an extension for this project.

would have to request an extension on the variance that was granted.  Mr. Hanvey said that paragraph 3.12
