ROAD WORK

Eva moved that the board send out a request to the entire community for approval for an assessment of up to 5k for road work.
Rachel seconded. Motion was approved unanimously.

The board agreed that Eva can put in a note that if it’s a hardship for anyone and they need to spread the assessment out over two years to let her know, and to ask others if they would be willing to front the money to make that possible.

Eva will contact Paul Burfein, whose estimate seems the most reasonable, and see if he will charge an hourly rate to walk the road and get us a more detailed estimate. Susan can be available to walk with him soon. Susan will also get an additional bid from Dave Zacarolli, another contractor who has been working in the area for 35 years and also plows.
We’ll meet again as soon as we have those two last pieces in place and make a decision about who will do the road work. We all agree we should do the work all at once this spring/ summer.

Other Items

• We need to get an estimate on road maintenance. We’ve spend $45-$50 in the last four years on maintenance- will the cost continue to be about 8k a year or higher?
• Alfred noted the main difference between Brothers and Burfein is the amount of shale that fits in a dump truck. If one is proposing dumping twice as much gravel, that would explain the difference between the two estimates.
• We need to answer the question of whether we need more gravel.
• Brothers also proposes a tarp/ material that isn’t being discussed in the
  others, which costs $10k.
