Memorandum Body

As a result of the passage of the Michigan Transportation Package, the Governor's Emergency Highway Jobs Bonding Program and the increase in the Federal Gasoline Tax, the Road Commission hopes to embark on a vigorous Road Restoration Program commencing this year that will encompass areas in most all of the Townships within Muskegon County. Included in this program will be approximately twenty (20) miles of Primary Roads to be resurfaced with bituminous concrete overlay and some sixty (60) miles of both Primary and Local Roads to be patched with a hot plant mix in preparation for seal coating in 1984. Hopefully, this will be the renewal of a sealcoat program that was discontinued several years ago due to budgetary restraints.

In addition to the above, the Road Commission will increase its participation from 25% to 50% for one spot application of liquid calcium chloride for dust control purposes and the new cross or box culvert replacement policy will be as follows:

Any cross culvert under the jurisdiction of the Muskegon County Road Commission that needs to be replaced due to damage or failure will be replaced at the Road Commission's expense up to an amount of $5,000.00 with any additional costs to be borne equally by the Road Commission and the Township.

Should you have any questions or need any clarification of the above, please feel free to contact the writer at your convenience.
