Jayson Nohl seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Road Foreman’s Report:
Dave reported everything is going good. He hauled 7 loads onto 431, 8 yards on 245 and 14 loads on 429.

The grader and tractor were both fixed and new brakes were put on the loader. Everything else is good.

He had nothing further to report.
