Township weighing road repairs, dust-control options and patrol after county estimates $96,000 share
Summary
Supervisor Stanton said the township’s share of planned county road repairs is roughly $96,000 and that he will tour roads with the county road commissioner to prioritize projects. The board reviewed a lower dust-control quote and noted a new 24-hour road patrol is starting April 1.
Supervisor Stanton told the board that the Branch County road commissioner provided an estimate that would require Sherwood Township to pay roughly $96,000 as its share of proposed county road repairs. Stanton said he will ride around the township with the commissioner to identify priority projects because the township budget cannot fund the full estimate this year.
On dust-control services, the road commissioner suggested Affordable Driveways, LLC, which quoted $9,750 compared with $15,158 from the prior vendor. The board discussed the lower-cost option but did not record a final contract award in the minutes.
Commissioner Stoll also reported a 24-hour road patrol starting April 1; the minutes record the patrol launch as a county initiative beginning that day.
Trustee Courliss submitted a proposal outlining the cost to pave or gravel Chippawa Road to Cherokee Road; the minutes record his materials but not a decision or funding commitment. The board’s next steps include the supervisor touring roads with the county commissioner and prioritizing work within the adopted budget.
