Road Condition/Work
The first kilometer had the double surface treatment.
Landowners mentioned that there were potholes in the new section of Lakeshore Dr. The reason is surfacing was put over the existing surface.
Members were inquiring if the jobs being done by MTO were being supervised at the time they were being done. They were concerned it was not inspected until after completion. It is important that an official be there at the time the job is being done. MTO insisted that in the future, someone will be there to supervise or the job will have to wait.
There were concerns about ditching. How far should they dig and how deep. Not too close to the road.
It was suggested that MTO put reflection signs up to show the location of the ditches.
There were concerns about travelers on the road that travel the centre of the road. Maybe signs put up to “Keep Right”. There was discussion about painting a centre line, but the cost would be too great.
There will be no brushing in 2009. During Spring Road Tour they will decide what areas should have ditching.
It was decided that ditching should increase and decease brushing.
Minimum tax
Next on the agenda was the minimum tax. A motion was made by Domenic DiSisto and seconded by Larry Masters to leave the tax at $200.00. By show of hands, the motion was carried.
