Silver Creek supervisors approve $500,000 in proposed 2025 road projects
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors voted Nov. 7 to approve proposed 2025 road work totaling $500,000 — $360,000 for asphalt and $140,000 for chip seal — and directed maintenance to contact the engineer to move the work forward.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors voted Thursday to approve proposed 2025 road projects totaling $500,000, allocating $360,000 for asphalt and $140,000 for chip seal. Supervisor Ryan Nelson made the motion and Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen seconded; the motion carried 5-0.
The spending plan is intended to fund engineering and construction work on township roads next year. Maintenance staff will contact the township engineer to begin planning and scheduling, the board said.
The vote followed routine procedural business, including approval of the agenda and prior minutes. The board also noted receipt of a county grant of $37,259.18 designated for the Gowan Ave project, which is separate from the proposed 2025 road project amounts.
Votes at a glance: agenda approval (motion by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen, second by Supervisor Andy Christensen) carried 5-0; minutes approval (motion by Chairman Mike Helman, second by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen) carried 4-0 with Supervisor Sandy Forsman abstaining; disbursements approval (motion by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen, second by Supervisor Ryan Nelson) carried 5-0; 2025 road projects approval (motion by Supervisor Ryan Nelson, second by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen) carried 5-0.
Next steps: maintenance staff will reach out to the engineer for expected timelines and scope details. The board recessed later in the meeting to conduct a Board of Canvass session and recorded a motion to adjourn; the transcript ends after the adjournment motion.
