Meeting called to order at 7:10 p.m.
Glen Enos / Discussion of the condition of the intersection of Enos Road and Richmond Road - Glen stated that his neighbor Mr. Ovitt is unhappy with gravel run off that is collecting on his property. The original problem a few years back was due to a plugged culvert which caused water and gravel from Glen’s drive to run on to Mr. Ovitt’s land. After work on the Richmond Rd from the water project Glen’s driveway was pitched so run off again is collecting on Mr. Ovitt’s land. Glen also noted markers for the culvert installed are needed.
The Board will take a look at the situation and discuss with Rocky and Mike.

The Board advised Mike in the future to document such conversations with residents by sending a letter addressing the situation.
