Morrison will contact someone to take down some dead trees along the golf course. Will check with local farmers about using equipment to complete project.

Culvert repair: Need to repair the culvert areas near Colletts and Strawsers on Shoreline Drive. Will have some rip-wrap and concrete, with a tube to cut down on washed away areas. Will need to section off the area to avoid falls. Have not received a bid as of yet for repair for next spring.
