RUSSELL SUBDIVISION
ae Russell, Kim King and Keia Pickett came before the board to ask for Service District One to
provide snow plowing and sanding services to Mr. Russell's subdivision. The Kodiak Island Borough
has not approved the roads, but residents are paying Borough taxes.
Discuss was held on the issue. The Service District did provide snow plowing last year and damaged a
manhole cover. Kevin Arndt ask Mr. Russell if they provided services would he not hold the Service
District responsible for damages. Mr. Russell declined. He did say he would flag the manholes so the
drivers could see them.
More discussion was held on the issue. Charles Lorenson made a motion that the Service District
continues to provide snow plowing and sanding services the Russell Subdivision with the condition that
he flags manholes. Scott Arndt seconded the Motion.
Charles Lorenson amended the Motion to include the Trinity Subdivision, which has the same
circumstances. The amendment was voted on and passed.
The original Motion was called for vote: Charles Lorenson -yes Kevin Arndt -yes Ed Mahoney -
yes Jennifer Spencer -yes. Eric Kocurek - no. The Motion passed.
BOARD COMMENTS:
;ott Arndt commented that he was unhappy with the services being provided to the Service District for
sanding and plowing. The contract called for two (2) snow plowers and only one was out today,
12/10/97. Charles Lorenson stated that one of the snowplows had problems and they were trying to fix
it, and hoped to have it back in service sometime during the night.
It was also brought to the attention of the Board that sanding of the road during the prior week was not
done timely. The roads should have been sanded days earlier than they were. AK is subcontracting the
sanding out to Brechan and you have to call them early to get on the schedule.
Charles noted that the new Chair would need to call between tam and 4am to let Brechan know that the
roads need to be sanded. You also have to call AK early to get on their schedule for plowing.
Kevin was going to take a look at the road situation after the meeting and notify Brechan and AK of
want needed to be done, as it was now raining on top of the 8" of snow received during the day. It was
noted that several streets had not even been plowed. Kevin stated he would check out the situation.
Eric Kocurek stated his concern about the costs of Dl instead of chips on the roads. Discussion was
held and it was decided that they would look at comparison figures during the work session to be held
in January.
Eric Kocurek also was concerned that the Service District would continue to provide services to Lee
''ussell's subdivision when the road was not approved. He would like to see the issue directed back to
Borough Assembly for resolution before any further services are provided, as this issue had been
,ing on for several years.
Kevin Arndt welcomed Jennifer Spencer to her first meeting of the Service District.
