The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 1st at the library.

 

Scott Hild asked about dust abatement in front of his home across from the frog pond.  He stated that the dust from the road construction was heavy in that area.  Lisa B. suggested a speed bump could be placed there to slow the traffic.  Mr. Hild did not agree.  He asked for mag chloride but Lisa B. explained to him that it is expensive, the company will not come up to Duquette Pines just to do a small section of the road and the Board is not having any mag chloride put on the roads until probably next year.
