Public Input:
Josh Shull reported that they had a meeting with the County regarding a neighbor who has people living in his outbuilding. The County did not see anyone living there. Also, there are large potholes at Dale St and Mossville Rd. The County handles Mossville Rd. The storm sewer is ready to fall in at State and Mossville Streets. Frank will look at this. Also, people are not cutting their grass. Shawn will send a letter to residents who need to mow.
Donald Yarborough bought his neighbor’s empty house and had it torn down. The culverts are not working and the land is flooding. Frank will fix these. The township commended Donald for his work with “Veterans Helping Veterans… Helping the Community” which was mentioned on the local news recently.
Residents from Hickory Grove Rd. sent a video to the Community Officer of speeding on their road. Frank will meet with residents to review the plans he has for reducing speed on that street. The last speed study called for enforcement. Frank will review the plans for signs and changes to the road including, lights at the crosswalk, speed humps and speed tables with the County Engineer. He estimates in may cost around $200,000.
