11:00 a.m. Gene Meinen regarding County Road pick-up, similar to the Adopt a Highway program through the State. Discussion regarding costs involved in signage for the projects, potential liability, and inability to pick up collected trash due to Road Department staffing issues. John Gaither regarding issue on Lukes Gulch Road with the litter that is strewn across the area due to Grangeville residents hauling trash out to the nearby dumpters-suggests an ordinance to require covered loads in order to curtail the flying garbage. Gaither advises the municipality he used to live in had such an ordinance-will provide a copy to Ackerman. Regarding the road pick-up, Meinen suggests a modified program that would include the Road Department providing bags, a waiver of liability and no signage. If there are more people who become interested in doing this, signage could be considered in the future. An agreement and waiver of liability needs to be provided to those interested in doing trash pick-up-Meinen will look over the old agreement we had, suggest revisions and get it to MacGregor for review.
Meinen regarding request for wage/step increase for Colton Langmack to $16.97–was eligible in June, but Meinen’s understanding was that he should wait until the new budget year to present request-discussion.
