Doug Vander Leest inquired as to who was responsible for the maintenance on the bike
path. His main concern was the overgrown brush along Parkside Drive and Rezanof Drive
intersection as it blocked the view of traffic in the area. He was advised that the Kodiak
Island Borough is responsible for maintaining the bike path. The Chairman was addressed
to talk with the Borough Mayor on this issue.
Diane Brooks stated that she lived on the corner of Island Lake Road and Balika Lane she
wanted to thank whoever was responsible for putting calcium chloride on the roads for
dust control. She was informed that Island Lake Road was a State road and was
maintained by the State. She also voiced her concern on the heavy traffic in the area as
there is no stop signs and speed enforcement is a problem.
Mike Rasmussen thanked the Board on doing the D -1 project and expressed his concerns
on Cliffside road. He remarked that due to the growth of the neighborhood, traffic had
increased on Cliffside road and he would like to see it maintained properly.
Lee Russell informed the Board that he sent a letter to the Kodiak Island Borough
Assembly and Mayor with a copy to Service District One regarding his subdivision on
drainage. Discussion on this item will be taken up under New Business.
Eileen Probasco commented on the letter from A -K Construction regarding recycled
asphalt as an alternative for paving. She was recently in Arizona and noted that one of
Arizona's alternatives to paving was to grind up old tires.

OLD BUSINESS
D -1 Roads
Charles Lorenson reported on the progress of the D -1 project. He pointed out that as A-
K Construction is the contractor for the D -1 project they can familiarize themselves with
Service District #1's roads as they received the contract for maintenance and snow
removal for the next two years.
Exempting property from SD #1 taxes
There was a brief discussion on exempting property from Service District #1 taxes.
Charles Lorenson expressed his concern that this would have a major impact on the
service district if the Kodiak Island Borough adopts an ordinance similar to the ordinance
they adopted regarding Women's Bay Service Area Board. Roy Aguirre noted that he
does not receive any services from Service District #1 as he lives on a state road but is
within the service district boundaries. Scott Arndt commented that the Borough Mayor
has been working on this for six months and the Borough Mayor would make a
determination of who would be considered exempt on a case by case basis.
Scott Arndt move to recommend to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly an Ordinance
be adopted amending Kodiak Island Borough Code of Ordinances Title 4 Service Areas
Chapter 4.70 Service District No. 1 to add Chapter 4.70.015 Service Exemptions to
Reflect an Exemption for State Road Access for Parcels Not Receiving Any Benefit From
Road Construction and Maintenance. Ed Mahoney seconded.
