Nagle made a motion to give Township approval for the liquor license and issue a letter of approval. A. Carlson seconded. Vote taken, 3 in favor. Motion carried. C. Roraff will draft the letter, get it signed and email it to Andre.
H. Larsen asked if the Supervisors had anything for the road report. A. Carlson said gravel roads are soft as the frost is coming out of them. H. Larsen said he also noticed soft roads and it will take awhile for all the frost to come out. A. Carlson said the soft roads caused problems with the plowing during the last snow storm because the plow had to go very slow to avoid damaging the gravel roadbed and the soft roads caused the truck to get stuck a couple times. Brief discussion was had about options for clearing snow on soft roads.
A. Carlson stated the tree hanging over Sebo Hill has been taken care of and Krumrie Tree Service helped with removal.
G. Nagle suggested the Supervisors do a road check after this upcoming forecasted snow storm.

They have been out on several medical calls recently as well as a severe accident on the highway.
A. Carlson reported that the work is done on the Town Hall basement entrance. He asked Joe Neumann if he would paint the door with the leftover paint from the other Town Hall doors he did. Joe responded he would do the painting at some point.
