May 16, 1983

Meeting called to order at 8:30 P.M. by chairman Pajala. Members present were, Olson, Casey, and Tetzner. Motion and a second to dispense with minutes. Motion by Darrel Olson and a second by Jeff Casey that Westling Dam and McKinley School or Town Hall be approved as historical sites. This decision made after public hearing with no objections. All comments were favorable. Also present for town meeting were, Lester Westling, Shirley Haugen, and Bob Adams.

Gravel bids received: 1. Ashland Construction $7.09 per yard. 2. South Shore Sand & Gravel $6.94 per yard. 3. T & J Trucking $7.14 per yard.

Motion and a second to accept Ashland Construction’s bid which is not the lowest bid. Reasons: their bid lists all specifications as advertised and that their drivers know our roads, which saves town labor which could amount to more than the price per yard lower bid.

Motion and a second to pay Ashland Construction balance on Sioux River Fill on Wannebo Road.

Discussed top soil on this fill. Decided to get a few loads from John Anderson if he would sell.

Discussed patch blacktop from Bayfield County or Roffers. Decided to get from Bayfield County as price was cheaper.

Discussed paying Leland Harvey emergency leave pay for sick leave other than himself.

Discussed road binder (Paper mill waste). Motion and a second to try one load and if  o.k. use two more, for a total of three.  First load on south mile of McKinley Road. Price about $175.00 per load.

Discussed lawsuit against town.

Motion and a second to adjourn.
