Mr. Wagner said the county does not have funding beyond the $60,000 settlement. He asked if the township was willing to help fund the cost above this. Mrs. Schneider supports option #5, to abandon the bridge, close the road and use the funds to improve County Road 12, because she feels the money is better spent. Mr. Bemdt feels that with improvements, County Road 12 will be a good year-round access. MOTION, passed Mrs. Schneider moved and Mr. Wagner seconded to approve option #5, to abandon the bridge, close the road and use the $60,000 settlement to raise and improve County Road 12. On roll call vote, motion carried with five members voting "yes", and Mrs. Sorum, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Rust voting "no". LEONARD ELEVATOR ROAD, Request to add to county road system: elevator has not responded on local match cost Mr. Bemdt said action on this item was delayed at the last County Commission meeting. The Commission requested the elevator pay part of the costs for future paving. Mr. Bemdt estimates a cost of $672,000 to asphalt the mad or $976,000 to concrete the road. The elevator would be responsible for 20% local match, or approximately $200,000. Representatives from the elevator have not contacted him as to whether they will be able to fund the local cost of the proposed surfacing. STATUS OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Mr. Bemdt updated the committee on construction projects. He said the county website includes information on ongoing projects and their status. ADJOURNMENT MOTION, passed On motion by Mr. Wagner, seconded by Mrs. Schneider and all in favor, the meeting adjourned at 3:05 PM.
