1. Chair Report. The Chair said we had gotten a good deal of
snow and overall, a good job had been done. He also stated that
he would have a better handle on the costs for the work done at
the next meeting.
L. Rocheleau of Brechan Enterprises questioned some roads not
marked on the SD#l map. S. Arndt informed the Board that the
residents of Anna Way have requested no roadwork, snow removal,
etc. be done. B. Cassidy will review the matter, alerting that
this could be a liability issue. S. Arndt indicated that "L"
Street gets the first 100' plowed and that Givens gets plowed
all the way back. G. Spalinger questioned the new roads at the
end of Spruce Cape. C. Lorenson said that they were doing just
snow removal and sanding. The road off Otmeloi near Dark Lake
should be done.
The Chair mentioned that KEA had called and one of their vaults
had been hit. Chair requested that he be alerted if there are
any accidents/damages.
The Chair said that most of the D-l has been put down.

problems will be identified.

R. Casey noted that there was a stop sign down on the bike path.
That is a state responsibility, although C. Lorenson will take a
look at it himself.
2. Selief Lane Paving.
S. Arndt indicated he had met with the City Engineer regarding
the paving of Selief Lane. The City is going out to bid on
their portion [So Arndt said there was 1439' of road which needs
to be addressed.] and the estimated cost is $80/lf for 2"
overlay. The total cost is estimated at $115,000 plus another
$5000 for traffic control. The City's portion of this total
cost would be approximately $103,000. The Service District
would be able to "piggyback" onto the project.
There was a discussion re boundary lines,
culverts, paving, cost to impacted homeowners.

Snow Removal.
The Chair asked Louis Rocheleau of Brechan Enterprises to speak
on this topic. L. Rocheleau said he felt that in spite of being
hit pretty hard [with snowfall], a reasonable job had been done
[by Brechan]. L. Rocheleau offered "kudos" to C. Lorenson for
his participation. L. Rocheleau cited some equipment
difficulties encountered, but, in general, he felt that a decent
job had been done.
R. Casey noted for the group that there had been 9
accidents during the storms [in the Bayside District]
they all occurred on State roads.

and that
S. Arndt said that he thought Brechan had done a good job.
R. Casey asked if the paved roads were going to be cleaned after
winter and S. Arndt said yes.
P. Tuttle questioned the berms at intersections. L. Rocheleau
indicated that that was fairly normal, but the berms would have
been less if the snowgate had been operational.
B. Cassidy said that it seems as though everyone wants things
done immediately. There are 13-15 miles of paved roads and the
snow removallsanding, etc. does take time.
C. Lorenson thanked L. Rocheleau for his attendance at the
meeting and the work done in the Service District.
There was a brief discussion regarding upcoming meetings in
March - a work session and a hearing re the new FY budget. The
meetings will be held at the Bayside Fire Hall at 7:30p on 2 and
23 March 2004.
