Maiden Rock board to begin process to discontinue township responsibility for 440th Street; road work planned
Summary
After completing a road review, the board voted to begin the process to discontinue responsibility for 440th Street in Warrentown and noted Pierce County Highway will begin work on marked road areas; public commenters requested a road committee and asked about dust control and water testing.
At the May 12 meeting, Supervisor John Danneker moved and Supervisor Allen White seconded a motion to begin the process to discontinue township responsibility for 440th Street in Warrentown; the motion carried unanimously.
Board members reported the town’s road review is complete and that Pierce County Highway will start work on the marked areas in the near future. The minutes note that initial grading has been completed on all roads, additional rock is needed on the Rustic Road, and that sign repairs and shop-area cleaning are underway. Lance was contacted regarding culvert repair; no timeline was recorded in the minutes for that work.
Only one bid had been received so far for summer fuel supply and one bid for parking-lot blade patching; the board tabled decisions on both items until next month. During public comment, resident Dan Ellenberger requested formation of a road committee and asked whether dust control could be a township expense; Chairman Jerry F. Duden said he would check prices. Resident Chris Martin raised specific questions about the road near his property. The board recorded thanks from residents for the recent Big Dumpster Day.
The minutes record no formal vote on contracting for the identified repairs or on dust-control funding at this meeting. The board’s vote to begin the discontinuance process starts a multi-step statutory procedure (the minutes do not specify the legal steps or timeline).
