The County Road Association of Michigan (CRAM), the organization representing Michigan’s 83 county-level road agencies, including the Gladwin County Road Commission, has launched a Web site that provides a wealth of information about county roads, road funding, road history and more. The site is located at www.micountyroads.org The site describes the county road system and provides contact information for each of Michigan’s county road commissions. It also explains how county road commissions are funded, pointing out that they receive the majority of their funding from the gas tax and receive no direct funding from property taxes. “Many residents of Michigan do not understand how roads are funded, who has jurisdiction over the roads or why we don’t have the funding to make all the improvements many residents would like. This site will educate them on these issues and many others,” explained Daniel F. Provost, PE, Gladwin County Road Engineer-Manager. SUGAR SPRINGS 2011 REPAVING and ROAD WORK Uncertain at this time.  Contact Clerk, Don Joyce, for specifices.  Reminder:  Your sprinkler system must be removed from the road easement (33' feet back from the center of the road) during a reconstruction.         MOSQUITO CONTROL PROGRAM Due to budget considerations at this time Butman Township has signed NO contract for 2011 with "Advanced Pest Management" for mosquito control.  Further information will be available at a later date.   GLADWIN COUNTY ORV ORDINANCE #22 Gladwin County has passed ORV Ordinance # 22 for the purpose of authorizing and regulating the operation of Off Road Vehicles (ORV's) on roads in Gladwin County.  Please visit the township or contact the County for more information on open or closed roads to ORV vehicles.  SEWER SYSTEM NEEDS REPAIR At the Butman Township's April 9th meeting Earth Tech Engineers reported on the condition of the sewer system.  It is estimated that repairs to the drain field, eliminating root intrusion in the sewer mains and completing repairs on the lift stations will amount to $1.4 million dollars.  The township qualified for a loan from the USDA Rural Development at a 3.75% interest rate over 40 years.  Unfortunately we are still awaiting plans by the engineers before work can be started.
