They are working on chip seal bids for East Hegel, Ridge Road and West Hegel. Goodrich Meadows Road cores were taken last week. Consumers has still not taken care of the bike path along Hegel Road. Mowing, sweeping, cutting grass and weeds has already started around town along with shoulder repair and limestone on East Hegel Road has been completed. The park is still waiting for Genesee County to finish the reseeding after their project last year. Crack sealing price is $495 for the machine rental and materials. We are not able to do this project because 3 workers are needed and we only have two DPW employees. More work has been down on the 2005 dump truck. Both the 05 and 05b dump boxes are getting too thin to weld from the years of salt use. We will need to replace the dump boxes or the trucks soon. d. Building Department Activity Report – Noted e.
