weather permits We are running around the whole M.D doing the worst roads in every division After the weather straightens out we can get back into some sort of organized rotation 2 Graders are working 11 12 hrs /day when possible but again, you cannot do everyone's road the same day The contractor on the Buffalo Jump Road is having the same bad luck as we are with the weather They get some things done and it rains then they end up lifting what they have done and re doing it 4 Bridge crew has the decking off the SH 587 bridge and are finishing up their work Henry spoke to them on Monday June 24/96 and they said it would be completed Wednesday Had a meeting with South Rock and they won t be moving to another job other than here They said they would be here after the long week end to do repairs on SH 575 and start paving SH 583 6 I've been holding off on organizing the dust control program until the roads straighten up It s a waste of money to put it down on soft roads 7 The road crew moved into the George Penner project and working at the dump in Three Hills digging a new cell while the weather was wet last week While at the dump, a buggy slid on a slope and flopped on its side There was no visible damage of any sort to the machine or operator It was pulled back up, the oil changed and put back to work After an incident report and a look at the situation with Randy there was nothing that was found to be at fault other than some wet conditions on the slope and a bad reaction on the operator's part The operator was spoken to about conditions and dangers that occur like this, and if there is any other situation that arises that are even questionable, he will be let go 8 We are planning to do a first pass grass cut along the shoulders of our paved roads here in the first week of July 9 We need to set a date for road committee this week 10 Just a reminder that the phones have been, and will be, ringing off the wall with all the wet weather, about roads and gravel We're doing our best with what we have, longer hours are being worked and again, all we need is sun and common sense Someone is going to be first and someone is going to be last 11 Bob Boake

Kneelull Steve Varga Gordon Snell land owners /renters Kent Berg, AB Environment Mr Snell expressed his concerns about water from Mr Varga s land running through the culvert on SH 836 onto his land and flooding 20 30 acres Mr Vickery stated that without the road, there would be the same land flooded as Is now, on both sides of the road The culvert was put in as a natural path for the water to find Its own mark Mr Snell agreed there was a slough there, but feels that with the pipe being put in all the water from the west, on Mr Varga's land causes his land to flood He feels that if the culvert were blocked and there was no water coming from the west he wouldn't have water problems with his farming techniques Mr Varga expressed he would not be in favour of blocking this culvert and feels there would still be water on the east side anyway He feels there would be no way that water would be allowed to be trenched across Guynn's land He is very happy the way the pipe is now Mr Berg feels that the water drains to the east and that Mr Snell's only course of action is to go into the appeal route of the M.G A and let the courts decide All parties agreed to disagree and nothing would be solved The meeting concluded �G Lonnie D McCook, Pu�lic Wcrks Memo Mr Berg was incorrect with his remarks regarding appeal route through the MGA. There is no longer such a provision word/jd/letter 8
