At 6:11 pm Juli Duranty-Ward entered the meeting. Mrs. Ward and her husband own a camp on the Class VI portion of So. Jordan Hill Road. She shared with the Board pictures that she had taken of the condition of the road. She and her husband want to do some work on the road and are hoping that the other camp owners on the road will help contribute to the cost. The main items that they are interested in doing are replacing culverts and ditching. The Board suggested that the Wards contact Ted Burns (North Country ATV Club) since they are using the road as part of the ATV trail, they should help with the costs of repair. The Board granted the Wards permission to do the work but asked that they keep the Town informed about what they are doing and if the Club helps with the work. Mrs. Ward left the meeting at 6:50 pm.
