SPECIAL MEETING OF RAMSEY TO~ BOARD <br /> Sept. 30, 197& <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at noon by the Chairman, Mr. Cox. <br />Present were Mr. Hopperstad, Mrs. Oliphant and Mr. Reimann. <br /> <br />Discussion on the 4,150 feet of the westerly boundary between <br />Elk River Township and Ramsey Township known as Jarvis Street. <br />We have been contacted by Mr. Frank Matson, Chairman of the Elk <br />River Township regarding sharing in the cost of blacktopping <br />this street. This issue is approximately two years old as they <br />have discussed this matter with Ramsey Township prior to this <br />time. We would share in half of a 22 foot top surface. Elk River <br />Township has a bid from the Elk River Blacktop Plant of $5,~39.91 <br />as half the cost or our share. He indicated also that H & S had <br />submitted a slightly lower bid but he did not have the bid with <br />him. This meeting was called at this time due to the weather con- <br />ditions and they urgently request us to make a decision as they <br />are ready with their equipment on their portion of the roads in <br />this area. Elk River Township has been maintaining this road and <br />we paid them $80 for several years maintenance. Of course, we <br />could not do this maintenance for this cost ourselves. Mr. Rei- <br />mann moved we check on the price and if it seems correct that we <br />go ahead and work with Elk River Township on this road because he <br />feels it will be a benefit to us in the future and we could not <br />possibly build this road for this price in the future. Seconded <br />by Mr. Hopperstad. Motion carried by Mr. Reimann, Mrs. Oliphant <br />and Mr. Hopperstad. Mr. Cox was opposed. <br /> <br />It is felt that we will avoid inflated costs by this action, that <br />we will have the cooperation of Elk River Township in the mainten- <br />ance of these roads and other future roads bordering the two com- <br />munities; that to maintain this road by ourselves would be very <br />expensive; the Elk River school buses which carry some of Ramsey <br />Township d~will be using these roads; we will have more of our <br />residents using this road in the future; and it is a good thing to <br />have the good will and cooperation of this neighboring community. <br /> <br />We will info~a Mr. Matson of this decision. <br /> <br />Mrs. Oliphant moved we adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Mr. Hop- <br />perstad. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 1:20 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />
