Ken read a letter from Duracell to the Fire

120 yards of gravel from the State. Doug asked
John how the roads are now that they’ve dried
out – do they need calcium applied? John said he
put 15 loads of rock on E. Mountain View and it
will need calcium. Doug said the roads that are
crowned have less potholes than the ones that
aren’t. John said the waterline project is going
alright, but it will be difficult to connect it
– John explained why. The mill is using water
off the hydrants for the water truck. John was
told to put a “yield” sign at the intersection
of Black Bear & N. Elk roads.
Doug attended the KVRI meeting. He said 4 or 5
of the group went to Washington DC. They are
trying to get a grant to study animals getting
hit on the highway at McArthur. The ground work
for the grizzly bear study will cost $3,000,000.
If there end up being more bears than the Fish &
Game say, it could help the logging industry,
etc. For the grizzly bear study, there will be
40 people per section and 3 – 4 sections will be
done at a time. Mike Sloan is concerned that if
they find there are more bears, they will want
more land for them.
Discussed the bills. A motion was made by Chad
Farrens and seconded by Steve Economu to pay the
bills. Motion carried.
A motion was made by Steve Economu and seconded
