- 6. OLD BUSINESS:
- A. Jack Fish Road Speed Limits: Kietzman reported he talked with a contractor regarding constructing sidewalks for Jack Fish Road. The price varies greatly depending on the existing shoulders and the amount of dirt work required, but you could figure approximately $100.00 per foot. The concern is once the public sidewalks are constructed who would be responsible for the costs for snow removal and ongoing maintenance and who would pay for the construction of them. It could be done, but it would not be cheap. There is no recommendation at this time.
- B. Meeting Attendance Requirements: Haukebo stated he would be using remote video to attend the meeting in March.
