Mark Bishop talked with the Board on two different options for timber management on our gravel pit properties.
Motion by Commissioner Willcutt seconded by Commissioner Dykstra authorizing Managing Director Brad Lamberg to work out the details with Mark Bishop on Option I for timber management in the Road Commission’s gravel pit properties.

Motion Carried
Option I is a complete prospectus package that encompasses evaluation of forest stands, marking, cruising, calculating volumes by species, preparing sealed bid packages for interested buyers, negotiating a binding contract and monitoring the timber sale for compliance. His commission for this option is 10% of the bid price. The benefit to landowners is that this option allows Mr. Bishop to administer from start to finish and relieves the landowner of the day to day details involved.
George Ransome and his wife talked with the Board on options for mining gravel on their property north of the Chaffee Pit.
Rob Richardson talked with the Board on equipment needs for 2005.
Doug O’Laughlin from South Broadway discussed the lowering of a cross culvert on his property. If he could establish the old culvert level and get approval from the DEQ the Road Commission would give him a permit to lower the culvert.
Motion by Commissioner Willcutt, seconded by Commissioner Dykstra, to grant any association employee retiring from January 1, 2003 to November 1, 2006, that is at least 55 years of age and have at least 20 years of service, $10 per month for every year of service. This would be effective upon retirement or January 1, 2005, which ever comes latest. Amount shall be paid per month until the employee is deceased. If a slot is open for health insurance through the Road Commission and the retiree chooses to be carried through the Road Commission, the current Health Insurance Cancellation Policy will apply. This is contingent upon the Employee’s Association acceptance.
