10:56 Motion by Anderson to resume open session; second by Boultinghouse.  Anderson – Yes; Boultinghouse – Yes; Collins – Yes

Resident reported to Boultinghouse that CR775 off of K HWY is not being maintained.  After discussion, it was determined that this piece of road had been left alone because a previous resident was maintaining this section of road and they had instructed the county not to touch it some years ago until we were told otherwise so it has been left out of the maintenance list.  That resident has since moved away so the road has fallen into disrepair.  It will now be reintegrated into the county schedule for routine maintenance.

Resident reported rough road on CR1125 due to local residents 4-wheeling.

Met with DJ Ford, Road and Bridge Supervisor

Maintenance is requested on CR1125, CR2251, and CR775.  Submitted report of recent activities. Commission requested DJ take the county car in for repair.  MAC truck is being repaired.

Commission viewed monthly reports from the County Clerk, and Recorder of Deeds Offices.

Bills were approved.
