** Someone from the Street Committee will meet with Jim Brandle, the President of the church council.

Culverts on Randolph & Mason Streets:

While American Asphalt was designing the specification for the LRIP project on Randolph Street, they suggested we remove the culverts that run East and West at the corner of Randolph & Mason Streets. They will be installing a black top curb instead.

Kaminski voiced concerns about water runoff problems if there are not culverts to divert the water if the curb gets damaged.

Motion: Kielblock/Garski to approve removal of the culverts at the intersection of Randolph & Mason Streets. 3 in favor: Kaminski & Williams opposed: Motion failed.

**After the meeting, Further review of parliamentary procedures indicates that a majority of those present voted, so the motion should carry.

The street committee was unaware that culverts would be removed in conjunction with this project and they would like to meet with American Asphalt to discuss their recommendation. The Motion will be reviewed at the September 21^st Special Board meeting.

Committee Reports:

Street Committee: Kaminski explained Flooding concerns at 310 Second Street & Firkus Lumber Yard. The committees is considering replacing the existing culvert and possibly place a culvert all the way across the lumber yard and ditch it running North. Bob is to clean the brush out of the culvert area so the committee can get a better idea of the water flow. They anticipate ear marking costs in the 2010 budget.
