Superintendent’s Report for July 2010

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Your Highway Department has been hard at work.

Two of the guys mow road sides when they need it - one with the John Deere flail mower; the other uses the long arm. They do a good job mowing the grass,weeds and brush back away from intersections and other blind spots, makes it easier to spot deer also. Two other guys have been cutting and chipping brush allowing the road signs more visible.

We cut and removed trees and stumps on Dutcherville Road between Shacksbush and Kibbie Lake Road. This will able us to put shoulders and ditches in, thus improving our drainage, sight distance and roadway, which we are currently in the process of doing. That portion will be paved in a couple weeks, then we will move to Marsden Road and put down 4 to 5 inches of grindings and then oil and stone over the top.

MSHA (mine safety and health) inspected our gavel pit on the 15 of July and found no violations. They do inspections every year. It takes the better part of a day for them to inspect the sand screen, crusher, loader and any vehicle that's in the gravel pit, then they go through all my paperwork to see documentation that all the men have had sufficient safety training and personal protection equipment. And with that behind us we are continuing to screen sand for this up and coming winters snow removal.

If you have any questions, call or e-mail me - I'll be happy to answer if I can.

Your Highway Superintendent
