2) Leslie Berlan presented update on State of Main grants.  

a)  H Road grant application was completed and mailed last week.

b) David Langley had some questions about the West Shore Dr application which will be brought forward to the BOS.  The grant application will be submitted to the state for the second round in September.  Committee should talk to a biologist for suggestions and directions on West Shore Drive culvert to help with the grant application.  Motion by Chuck Gregory to get permission from BOS to speak to biologist.  Second by Cindy Hart and passed 3-0.

3) Culvert Clean out for private roads.  Road Associations have been working with contractors to get contract to clean out culverts for multiple associations to save money which could potentially be paid for with article 43 funds.

4)  Cindy Hart spoke about the state installs and monitors road counters every three years. The state does have options to use counters that can detect car traffic from trucks.  Recommend the BOS should reach out to the state to determine which roads should have truck counters.
