We have received positive feedback on road management for the 2020 year.

Dave Baker, Representative to the Tri-Township Disposal District Board, explained that the Board had $1.12 left from the budget.  The Board has been working with Pine County to come up with a way to funds to the budget as they would like to give the two employees a raise.  To do so, they are anticipating a raise on all improved parcels on 2021 tax statements.
