Road and Maintenance Concerns:  A resident on Pine Lane called because they did not want their ditch mowed.  Paul contacted JJ’s to have them omit that road.  They do want it cut the 2nd time.  Poplar and Maplewood road base is done.  Johnson Lane will be done this week.  Some signs need attention and some grading needs to be done.  Overlay will be done on North Road this week.  The bridge on Spruce will need to have the approach re-paved,  it should be less than $5000.  A motion was made by Wayne, seconded by Dan, to have the bridge approach re-paved.  Motion carried.

Building Maintenance:  Wayne contacted Mitch Holtz to have the building repairs made.  Mitch said that the roof is not leaking.  Water comes in the edge of the building, so no repair needs to be done on that.

Board Wages:  Chris Ferkey would like to see the wages for the positions in the area before a decision is made.

WTA Meeting Host Update:  The town is hosting the meeting at the Town of Wood town hall on July 19th.  Pam took care of the food, it is coming from the Pittsville grocery store.
