Road Report:
Tree debris: Carol
discovered that the Meade County Firewise program will assist residents with
storm damaged or other trees. Carol
spoke with Travis Ugland who said that the Firewise program will cut trees,
stack the wood and pile brush for eventual burning in the winter. The cost of the service is split 80 / 20
with the homeowner paying 20 percent.
Email firewise@meadecounty.org to get started. Jim called two tree service companies for quotes on removing
debris. One firm never return calls
after leaving voicemails. The other
business said they would send someone to the sub-division but that did not
happen. Dick Helmstetter will
coordinate with Rose Engineering to inspect the road signs in the
sub-division. Meade County will pay for
any signs that need to be replaced or upgraded. Once the water project is complete the board would like to
revamp the road policy and clarify snow removal and road-care.
