CORRESPONDENCE
A letter was received from Brad Smith, he has purchased the property on the corner of
Cutoff road and Metrokin. In starting to develop the lot Mr. Smith has been instructed by
the Borough to reconstruct the road back to its legal description as the road cuts across
the corner of the lot and is not clearly marked. Mr. Smith would like the Service District
Board's assistance on this matter.
Mr. Lorenson commented that the Board can redefine the road as soon as the D -1 issue is
addressed.
Another issue Mr. Lorenson commented on was that the brush is growing over the
guardrails and is encroaching the roadway. He would like to have the contractor remove
the brush in the areas that need it. Scott Arndt moved to authorize Mr. Lorenson to
contact the contractor to do brush removal. Roy Aguirre seconded. Motion carried by
Unanimous voice vote.
OLD BUSINESS
D -1 ROADS
The bid opening for D -1 gravel supply has been postponed until Thursday, October 31,
1996 at 10:00 a.m.
Eric Kocurek had a question of the board on how the issue of D -1 gravel came about.
Has it been approved by the board, and when, also where the funds were coming from.
The board discussed that the D -1 gravel has been a project they have talked about for 3
years and had been approved some time ago. The base of the roads need to be raised so
they are maintainable, the contractor also agrees that the roads need more gravel.
Basically all of the roads will be done in the Service District. The funds will be coming
from the fund balance. The board doesn't foresee this project having any financial
problems as it is spread out over two fiscal years.

BOARD COMMENTS
Ed Mahoney commented that he would like to be notified in advance of any Service
District meetings.
The board discussed with the new members their priority list or mission statement is to do
general repair and maintenance on the roads and to keep them open. The board does not
handle water /sewer, street signs, or ditching. Budget time is when the Borough requests a
work statement from the Board for the next fiscal year. The board meets to discuss their
wishes. The goal is to keep the mill rate down as much as possible. The scheduled board
meetings are every quarter, with special meetings as needed. Kevin Arndt commented that
he would like a meeting to be scheduled the second week in December 1996.
Also discussed were different options for dust debatement, strip paving, and lignicsite
were brought up. Charles Lorenson asked Scott Arndt if he would gather some figures to
bring back to the board before budget time for discussion.
The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 31, 1996, at 6 o'clock, to approve
the D -1 gravel supply contract.
