Road Maintenance: Les said he received an e-mail from Rod Wagner acting president of Over the Hills Gang 4-Wheeler Club about the invoice we sent them for the dust control on Dam Road. After some discussion and documentation Les gave him, Rod said the Club fully intends to hold to its agreement to partner in dust control and road maintenance. Rod also requested that the township advise the club by early October of the anticipated costs for dust control and maintenance the following year so they can apply for funding from The Grant in Aid funding program. Rod said they have sent the check for the dust control invoice to the township.
