There is no fee—this division met the exemption requirements.
12. Patrolman’s report: Bob Zurfluh said he had the radiator fixed in truck, delivered culverts, took stuff to landfill, worked at Gilbertson/Ringhand roads; he returned salt—received credit, bought blacktop from Exeter Town. Susan will contact Exeter about amount used. He said there was more blacktopping to do—filling potholes first, then edges. He asked what plan was for paver patching. Board will discuss this at roadwork meeting. He said the bridge marker is not up at Feldt road yet. The 2002 truck still needs final wash up.

19. Any Other Business/announcements:
a. Met to discuss radios—they are junk. Need new radios. Price proposal good until end of June. But the County is not telling when they will change radios. We have until 2012 to make this change. Once county changes, ours will not work. We use them when snowplowing to communicate with them and sheriff’s department. The board will wait for now and put this on the next agenda.
