7. Jim Fletchall, Road and Bridge Supervisor report:
· Discussed sloping of banks, seeds, mulch to finish CR 163. Fletchall reported that 2 tubes need replaced on that road also.
· The tube on CR 228, Don King’s road is washing out again. It also has some rust showing up already. The phone line is in the way so they can’t get the tube deep enough to stay. The commissioners agreed to have Fletchall order a headwall for the tube. Fletchall will check with Metal Culvert about the rust problem as the tube is only 2 years old.
· Jerry Cook reported lots of brush tangled around the bridge by his house.
· Bill Grabb complained that he didn’t get much gravel on CR 242. The problem is that there wasn’t enough base rock there.
