Woodruff board discusses culvert donation, ramp repairs and trailer parking problems
Summary
Board members discussed building a better ramp and drainage using a donated culvert, hauling dirt or road base, and addressing tractors/trailers parking in town right-of-way that damage private driveways.
A prolonged discussion during the meeting focused on local access and drainage where trailers and vehicles have damaged a low ramp off a town road. Residents said Stetson’s parked trailers are forcing traffic through a private driveway and ripping bumpers; members agreed the town right-of-way should be kept clear and asked staff or members to speak with Stetson about moving trailers.
Several members offered to donate a culvert (different sizes discussed) and backhoe or truck time to rebuild the ramp. Participants debated temporary fixes versus a larger culvert and coordinated repairs: "I've got a culvert that I'll donate," one attendee said, and others suggested sequencing culvert installation with dirt or road-base deliveries to avoid future washouts.
Speakers discussed logistics and cost: whether to use a belly dump or a dump truck, how many loads might be needed, and whether millings owned near Barker's shop could be used. No formal motion or funding commitment was recorded; members agreed to explore donated materials and coordinate haul/delivery next season (spring) unless immediate action becomes necessary.
Next steps: several members offered to source dirt and equipment; board members will follow up to determine culvert size, confirm donations, and coordinate scheduling and any required town permits.
