Mr. Roeske reported to the committee in response to Legislator Ungermann’s complaint of a dip in the road on County Route 7 in Cuba.  Mr. Roeske stated the pipe at this location is in good shape however; there is debris there the department will clean out.  Mr. Roeske also stated there are far worse areas in the county which need attention but the funding for those were cut out of the budget this year.
