A. Call to Order
Chairperson Ed Mahoney called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm.
B. Roll Call
Present were Board Members Sharon Lea Adinolfi, Kevin Arndt, Scott Arndt, Charlie
Lorenson, Ed Mahoney, Dennis Symmons and Peggy Tuttle.
C. Approval of Agenda
A motion was made and seconded to amend the Agenda by adding Chair Report. There was
a unanimous affirmative voice vote.
D. Approval of Minutes
There were no Minutes.
E. Acceptance of Financial Report
S. Arndt made a motion to acknowledge receipt of the Financial Report, seconded by Charlie
Lorenson. There was a unanimous affirmative voice vote.
C. Lorenson questioned if additional monies from reassessments of property along Spruce
Cape Road would be incorporated into the Service Area budget.
Ed Mahoney and S. Arndt responded yes and that it would be handled by the KIB Finance
Department.
F. Public Comments
Gregg Spalinger addressed the Board regarding a continuing parking problem on Ocean
Drive. Vehicles parked on the road in front of a residence create a safety hazard and impact
road maintenance. He stated this had been an ongoing issue and felt it was the Board's
responsibility to take action.
P. Tuttle noted that she had spoken with both the Troopers and Martin Lydick of the
Community Development Department at the Borough. The Troopers indicated that it was a
violation. M. Lydick, enforcement officer for the Borough, advised that this did constitute a
violation, a complaint needs to be generated and enforcement will take place.

On another matter, G. Spalinger encouraged the Board to review the tax issue and to conduct
another "drive about".
G. Chair Report
E. Mahoney expressed concern regarding the Contract for road service maintenance, stating
that it did not have enough "teeth" to it. Response by the contractor needs to be better -
sometimes there is only a small window of opportunity to have grading done or calcium
chloride spread, for example. Getting a reasonably quick response from the contractor has
been difficult. He also noted that there is nothing in the Contract controlling materials. It is
possible that the Service Area could pay for chips/D-l being hauled in from some other part
of the country - at a high cost. He reminded the Board that the issue of taxes [exemptions] in
the Service Area needs to be addressed. He said there are residents who are exempted from
paying road taxes but who are able to vote for Board Members and, at some point, could vote
for paving but not be taxed for it.
H. Old Business
There was none.
I. New Business
Dennis Symmons was welcomed as a new Member of the Board
J. Election of Officers
S. Arndt and C. Lorenson were nominated for Chair. Ballots were received - the count was
C. Lorenson - 4 votes and S. Arndt - 3 Votes. C. Lorenson is the new Chair
Dennis Symmons was nominated for Vice Chair. The nominations were closed and D.
Symmons is the new Vice Chair.
K. Public Comments
None.
L. Board Member Comments
C. Lorenson alerted the Board that there are potential problems with future road work. While
having a new water line installed on his property, debris and a large 10'-12' log were found,
making the installation more difficult and costly.
S. Arndt responded that half of the Borough roads were like that - they were not built to any
kind of code.
C. Lorenson thanked the Board for their support and said to call anytime at 539 1506.

P. Tuttle indicated that the Northstar PTA is trying to reinvigorate the road work/paths
project in the school area and encouraged the Board to support this effort. She also asked
how the Board could facilitate moving paving projects forward.
K. Arndt welcomed D. Symmons to the Board. He also told the Board that Brechan had shut
down their operations out the road and will be in town and dedicated to the Service Area road
work during the winter.
SL Adinolfi spoke about how to actually get issues resolved/accomplished.
Note: Pursuant to this comment and after the meeting was adjourned, a Work Session was
scheduled for 4 December at 7:00 at Bayside. The mission will be to generate a list,
prioritize and initiate a plan of action and stay with it until accomplished.
S. Arndt spoke regarding the [Borough] "process" - noting it takes time - follow up is
necessary and some things, such as the Northstar path/road work are out of the Board's
hands.
M. Adjournment
There being no further business before the Board, a Motion was made and seconded to
adjourn the meeting. The voice vote was unanimous and the meeting was adjourned at 8: 15
pm.
Respectfully submitted:
