Silver Creek supervisors approve road maintenance contracts, set 28‑foot minimum road width
Summary
At its June 3, 2025 meeting the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors unanimously approved multiple road maintenance contracts and repairs, authorized sale of surplus culverts, and set a new minimum road width standard of 28 feet.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors on June 3 unanimously approved a package of road maintenance actions including contractor bids, needed grader repairs and a new minimum road‑width standard.
Supervisor Andy Christensen moved to accept Knife Rivers' bid for overlays and to accept Astechs' bid for UTBWC; both motions were seconded by Supervisor Sandy Forsman and carried 3‑0. The board also approved necessary grader repairs, and Chairman Mike Helman moved to list used culverts for sale on 'MN Bid' (motion seconded by Christensen and carried 3‑0). The transcript refers to the contractor name 'Knife Rivers,' the bidder 'Astechs,' the platform 'MN Bid,' and the acronym 'UTBWC' but does not define UTBWC or further describe MN Bid.
In related business, Christensen moved to set the township's minimum road specifications at 28 feet wide; Forsman seconded and the motion carried 3‑0. The motion establishes a 28‑foot minimum road width by board action recorded in the meeting minutes.
All motions in this item were recorded as carried unanimously (3‑0). The transcript does not include a roll‑call breakdown of individual yes/no votes beyond the carried 3‑0 tally. The board subsequently moved on to other agenda items and adjourned later in the meeting.
