Township schedules 134th culvert replacement, approves beaver control and grading funds
Summary
Silver Creek Township scheduled the 134th culvert replacement for late Oct./early Nov., will seek remaining grant funds from the county, noted Meridian Avenue will reopen the following day, and approved up to $750 for beaver trapping and up to $1,000 to hire a water truck for grading.
During the Oct. 22, 2024 meeting, the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors received a maintenance update and authorized several items related to roads and drainage.
Supervisor Ryan Nelson reported that the 134th culvert replacement is scheduled for the end of October or beginning of November; the township intends to submit the project costs to the county to draw down remaining grant funds. Board members were told the Meridian Avenue culvert project, completed by Monticello Township, will allow the road to reopen the following day.
The board authorized spending up to $750 for beaver trapping and up to $1,000 to hire a water truck for grading if needed. Both motions were moved by Supervisor Nelson, seconded by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen, and carried 4-0.
Why this matters: the culvert replacement and grading affect local road conditions and drainage; using grant funds and hiring temporary equipment are typical municipal maintenance actions.
What’s next: the township will submit costs to the county for grant reimbursement and schedule the culvert work; the transcript did not specify contractor names, exact dates, or the grant program name.
