Inadequate or Improperly Installed Mailboxes/Proposed Offer to Residents: Gullickson

explained to Vivian Hildebrandt what the swing-arm mailboxes look like and what they cost.

Gullickson explained that the snowplow would not have to go out around them when they are

plowing.

Motion made by Mork/Stroebel that the Town would offer to the residents of the Town a swingaway

support for a mailbox at $67.50 and that the Town would install it for nothing. The

Town’s cost is $67.50. Carried-unanimously.

The reason the Town is offering this option is to make sure that the mailboxes are installed

correctly and to reduce the damages to mailboxes during snowplowing.
