In reviewing a past road service contract in anticipation of drafting a new contract for road service, the Board is interested in making the contractor responsive, wants to make sure that Service District 1 is made a priority.

A discussion re the number of pieces and kind of equipment needed to do road maintenance adequately and the pool of contractors available continued. There was also a discussion re what amount of call time is the best - 2 or 4 hours. Dept/EF/Serv.Dist./SD l/Minutes 4 February 2003 Page 2 of 4 13 4. Chair Report.
