ACCEPT ANCE OF AGENDA
Scott Arndt suggested adding to the Agenda VI. Public Hearing. Scott Arndt moved to accept
the amended Agenda. Robert Greene seconded. Motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
PUBLIC HEARING
Kevin Arndt expressed to the audience that the reason for the Public Hearing is to discuss paving
within the Service District. Kevin presented a spreadsheet that showed how much it would cost
to pave all of the roads within Service District #1.
Jennifer Spencer expressed to the audience that the Board compiled a "wish list" of items that
they would like to see happen within the Service District. Jennifer stated that the purpose of this
meeting is to get feed back from the citizens to see what they want to happen within the Service
District.
Audience members expressed their comments and concerns regarding a potential mill rate
increase. Barry Still suggested the possibility of borrowing the money or purchasing a bond to
speed up the paving project over 5 years. Scott Arndt explained that most likely an assessment
district would be set up.
Jenny Stevens asked if the 5 year paving plan would go before the people to vote on or have the
decisions already been made? Kevin answered that these are only ideas and the Board wants
public feed back so they know what the citizens want.
Mike Sirofchuck who lives on Cliffside Drive expressed that he is very satisfied with his road
and would like it left alone. He wants it sanded, graded, snow removed but does not want it
paved.
Scott Arndt expressed that he feels that paving should be done through assessment districts and
not by mill rate. Only areas that want paving would pay for it and those that don't will not pay.
Scott is in favor of paving with 3" and is not in favor of wrapping.
Mike Sirofchuck asked what happens if the Service District runs out of money before the proj ect
is complete? Does the mill rate go up again? Kevin stated that the project would not stop prior
to being complete and the mill rate would have to be increased in order to complete the job.
One audience member asked the advantage of pavement vs. gravel? Kevin responded that it
takes less maintenance (especially in the summer months), no dust abatement, ditching would be
done prior to paving.
Stan Reiff stated that he is interested in having Wilton White Way paved.
Mike Anderson stated that there are different population densities in Service District #1 (ex: on
Cliffside road the lots are bigger so there are less people to pay the bill per foot of improvements
vs. higher density areas like Woodland Acres). Mike stated that the Service District needs to
know what improvements need to be done prior to paving (ex: utilities, ditching, culverts).
Kevin stated that anytime that the Service District Board discusses the paving issue, it will be
advertised in the newspaper so that the public is aware.
ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES
Scott Arndt moved to accept the minutes of January 4, 2000. Robert Greene seconded. Motion
