Culbertson council approves valley gutter plan, signs MDT memorandum of understanding

The Culbertson Town Council unanimously approved a Memorandum of Understanding and the construction plan set from the Montana Department of Transportation to install a valley gutter on Main Street along U.S. Highway 16.

Council member Greg Staudinger moved to sign the MOU, the Construction Agreement and the referenced plans; fellow council member Gordon Oelkers seconded. According to the minutes, all members voted in favor and the motion carried.

The minutes record that the Montana Department of Transportation had submitted the detailed plans for the valley gutter, and the council authorized execution of the agreements that will allow work to proceed. No objections or amendments to the agreement were recorded.

The council did not specify a construction timeline in the minutes; further scheduling and contract details were not provided in the record and will require follow-up with town staff or MDT.
