7. Reports:
A. Code Enforcement Officer-Neil Horn introduced himself to the board and discussed
clean- up sites.
B. Threshold-Ken Reinke informed the board of the camera they have pointed at the
dumpster in front of Threshold. Commercials with the Volleyball Team and a can drive
with the elementary schools caused an increase in business. Education and Outreach
worked. There was 10,000 pounds more recyclable in November than last November.
Have used volunteers and special needs employees to assist customers with their
recyclables. The sign that read "No After Hours Drop Off" was working.
C. Alaska Waste Management-Kelcey Daniels introduced himself to the board. He
transferred from Anchorage to replace Rick Vahl on November 4, 2013. There was a
discussion on dumpster issues with the board.
D. Collection Center Committee-Nick Szabo—S. Arndt reported to the board he worked
with KEA on cost and particulars of putting up two light poles for the reuse center.
Received a bid from Bugni for the fence. Need the cost of containers and roof over
conex from Bob Tucker. The Boards vision for the reuse center was to encourage a non-
profit to staff it and receive the profits of sales and also to encourage the public to bring
their bulky items to the reuse center instead of leaving them by the dumpsters. They
would like a few more reuse centers and less dumpsters.
8. Other Items:
A. Low Income Discount for Garbage— L. Roberson informed the Board on low income
discount for garbage. A Board discussion ensued.
9. Visitor Comments: None

R. Baer— Really appreciate the new members and reports.
L. Roberson — Recounted stories of persons finding golf clubs in dumpster and someone put out
master mechanic tool box. This is a positive note for a Reuse Center.
N. Szabo— Reminded Roberson to put in his board application and asked board members to
recruit new members to the board.
