Summary

Joe Spears reported that the right-of-way along 112 Street has been mowed and that trees in a large drainage ditch are creating a maintenance need; the Chair agreed to place the issue on the next agenda for assignment of responsibility.

Joe Spears told the committee he observed that the city had mowed the right-of-way along 112 Street and said the large drainage ditch there has become overgrown with trees. He asked the committee to identify who is responsible for maintaining the ditch — whether management under contract or the Franklin Public Works Department.

The chair agreed to place the item on the next agenda for discussion and possible assignment. Spears said some initial clearing will require hand tools because the ground is too wet for equipment, and the committee will determine whether the contractor or city crews will perform the work.
