- Opened bids for 2017 Misc. Concrete Repair on 07/26/17. I.C.C.I. was low bidder with a bid price of $127,252.00. Project has been awarded and work may start next week. Scheduling Pre-Construction Meeting for next Wednesday.

- Last month, the issue of prevailing wages was brought up. When the Road District puts a job out for bid, we have to put certain documents in our contract booklets, and I have brought a copy of those documents for board to review. In addition to being required to pay prevailing wages, the general contractor and any sub-contractors must have a substance abuse prevention plan in place, and they must submit certified payroll records monthly. I attach payrolls to pay requests if I have them in time.
- Talked to Cargill again about salt. We actually have 785 ton in storage. I ordered 200 ton, which will fill up dome. That leaves us with 585 tons at $17.00/Ton for storage fee, for a total of $9,945.
- Will start interview process for secretary soon.
