Silver Creek Township supervisors approve speed‑study resolution, unanimously approve routine motions
Summary
At its Aug. 5 meeting the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors read and approved a speed‑study resolution to be sent to the MNDOT engineer and unanimously passed routine motions including approval of the agenda, minutes, clerk travel reimbursement up to $70, and purchase of flags.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved a speed‑study resolution at its Aug. 5, 2025 meeting and directed the clerk to email the signed copy to the MNDOT engineer.
The action came during a meeting called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Supervisor Ryan Nelson. All four supervisors in attendance voted in favor of the resolution and of several other routine items, with motions carried unanimously (4‑0).
Why it matters: a formal speed study is typically a prerequisite for any traffic‑control or roadway design changes; sending the signed resolution to the MNDOT engineer advances the township’s effort to assess speeds and potential safety work on the affected road.
The board first approved the meeting agenda on a motion by Supervisor Andy Christensen, seconded by Supervisor Sandy Forsman, and approved the July 15, 2025 meeting minutes on a motion by Supervisor Ryan Nelson, seconded by Christensen (both motions carried 4‑0). Later, Nelson moved to approve up to $70.00 to cover clerk attendance at a Franklin Township meeting for Couri and Ruppe; Christensen seconded and the motion carried 4‑0. Vice Chair Brandon Geyen moved to purchase flags; Forsman seconded and that motion also carried 4‑0.
Clerk‑Treasurer Alana Paumen will email the signed speed‑study resolution to the MNDOT engineer as directed by the board. The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. on a motion by Nelson, seconded by Forsman (carried 4‑0).
