Board approves 40-hour maintenance week; approves bid change for 150th and 105th/Amery after split vote
Summary
Silver Creek supervisors approved a 40-hour work week for maintenance staff and a contested change to road-bid plans—postponing work on 150th pending a study and moving to asphalt on 105th/Amery after a 3-1 vote; Supervisor Ryan Nelson preferred chipseal.
The Silver Creek Township Board approved a 40-hour work week for maintenance staff on Feb. 4, 2025, with overtime limited to hours beyond 40 or when snowplowing occurs outside normal hours. The motion was made by Vice Chair Brandon Geyen, seconded by Supervisor Ryan Nelson, and recorded as carried 4-0.
The board also approved a motion to change a road bid: postpone work on 150th pending a hydraulic study and proceed with asphalt on 105th/Amery. That motion, made by Geyen and seconded by Chairman Mike Helman, passed 3-1; Supervisor Ryan Nelson registered a preference for chipseal instead, saying it would “cover more gravel” as recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not include project budgets, timelines, or contractor names.
