Marilee DeGroot complained about the semi-truck traffic that was damaging Becker Trail and Big Stone Way. The redo of County road 46 and the repairs on 35W put stress on these roads used as a detour. Due to the problems the board decided to post the road as a 5 ton road and put up no parking signs. Rich Cap will get the signs and get the road posted.

Damage to 195th street was discussed and Rich Cap was going to get an off road vehicle damage report and file with the DNR. The township received a quote from RAW construction to repair the ditch for $20,290.00. No action was taken.
