The following recommendations were made*
Paving Operation
- Should recover sooner and get started earlier if weather conditions permit This would
give longer life
- Dig out soft places and reshoot
- Rubber tired pachers would be smoother operation
- Terryzme - felt this kept soil dryer and harder Government does not feel this works
at all
- Calcium Chloride seems to work - graders doe not blade out until fall, they should have
a second application in the fall
- Screenings - seem to provide a better base Felt pit -run would be better yet
Agreed to watch Jungling South
- Should have higher roads - should be a minimum of 3 1 road slopes ASB crew felt
the slope should be 4 or 5.1
- Road side seeding - ASB feels not too good it takes 3 years to catch, possibly should
use blowing seed on roadside
- Harrowing ditches is helping but is not total solution
- Possibly build up shoulders of roads with gravel
- Consider roto- tilling ditch bottom for sod break -up
Gravel Operation
- Consider hiring or buying nine (9) trucks for reshooting operation
- Consider gravelling first -thing in spring, going too late into fall
- Discussed hiring trucks or doing away with stockpiling operation -very hard on equipment
Could possibly lay off one crew, discussed keeping one crew on longer hours
- Would mean grader operator councillor, gravel foreman would have to have gravel program
in shape early in year
- Hope could keep a good crew all year round
- See stockpiling elimination report
- Foremen felt should not purchase gas units
- All trucks should be same brand and should have jake brakes
- General filling should be one shift of gravel crew if figures show is possible
Main Crew.
- General feeling was that road program should be set as far in advance as possible -
Mentioned getting yardage figures for Wimborne project as soon as possible
- Agreed main crew operate 2 shifts until pipe is covered and then shut down
- Mentioned contracting out some miles on trial basis
- Mentioned purchasing single engine scrapers and packers instead of twin engine
Small Crew
- Felt should not attempt any more than 3/4 miles as project
- Everything else operating well
ASB
- Questioned if this department should be seeding and mowing roadsides
- Felt rock situation was better this year
- Wood for parks - refer to the parks committee
- mentioned pesticide container depots
