During the meeting participants moved on to road and drainage matters with staff and contractors present. Speaker 4 identified a trustee drain (referred to as TD 12) that runs through John’s Field and connects to several laterals; they noted a discrepancy between the digital map and a printed map on which the drain appears as a different number. Speaker 4 said the pressure is coming from the southwest corner of Thompson and that the trustee drain will be addressed by trustee-managed responsibilities.
Speakers clarified a previously paid item in Thompson (installation of a riser) was unrelated to the trustee drain issue. The group discussed maintenance-material logistics: Speaker 3 said material had been taken from Holland Rock and the plan is to replenish that pile, then move to Lake Mills and Bancroft ("4 City") to restock for upcoming work.
The meeting also covered winter road treatment practices. Speaker 4 and Speaker 3 compared local approaches with neighboring jurisdictions: county staff said the county snow ordinance does not require treating frost, which was the reason no treatment was applied that morning, while other jurisdictions used brine or salt. Participants discussed pros and cons of brine and salt on frosty surfaces and operational practice differences.
No formal action or vote on drainage projects or material purchases was recorded in the transcript; the discussion centered on mapping, trustee responsibility and routine maintenance scheduling.
