Silver Creek schedules culvert work, reopens Meridian Ave; approves beaver trapping and water‑truck contingency
Summary
Supervisors scheduled a 134th Avenue culvert replacement for late October/early November, said Meridian Avenue will reopen tomorrow after a Monticello Township project, and approved up to $750 for beaver trapping and up to $1,000 to hire a water truck for grading.
Supervisor Ryan Nelson reported maintenance plans and contingency spending to the board.
The board was told the 134th Avenue culvert replacement is expected at the end of October or start of November; the township plans to submit the project costs to the county for the remainder of available grant funds. An engineer or maintenance staff noted the Meridian Avenue culvert project, completed by Monticello Township, will result in the road officially reopening the next day.
On short-term spending, Nelson moved to approve up to $750 for beaver trapping and to approve up to $1,000 to hire a water truck for grading if needed; both motions were seconded by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen and carried 4-0. The motions were presented as maintenance contingencies to keep roads passable and to allow the township to use grant leverage for the 134th culvert repair.
The board did not record further details on contractor selection, trapping timing, or the specific grading schedule. Maintenance staff reported a computer install is complete and one supervisor laptop remains outstanding.
