Township OKs culvert replacement, Meridian Ave re-opening and small maintenance expenditures
Summary
The board approved a late-October/early-November 134th culvert replacement (to be submitted to the county for remaining grant funds), acknowledged Meridian Avenue culvert work is complete and authorized up to $750 for beaver trapping and up to $1,000 to hire a water truck for grading.
Silver Creek Township supervisors discussed and approved several maintenance items on Oct. 22, 2024, including a planned replacement of a culvert on 134th Street, authorization for beaver trapping, and contingency funding to hire a water truck for grading.
The board recorded that the 134th culvert replacement is scheduled for the end of October or beginning of November; township staff plan to submit the project costs to the county to use remaining grant funds. Separately, Meridian Avenue’s culvert project—completed by Monticello Township—was noted as finished, with the road due to officially reopen the next day.
Supervisor Ryan Nelson moved to authorize up to $750 for beaver trapping and up to $1,000 to hire a water truck for grading if needed; Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen seconded both motions, which were recorded as carried 4-0.
The minutes do not specify grant amounts, contractor names for the 134th project, or the timeline beyond the approximate replacement window. No further public comment on these maintenance items is recorded in the minutes.
