5. Visitor Comments
T. Martin asked G. Spalinger why he wanted to be on the Board. G. Spalinger stated that
when he was on the Board last they drove every road in the Service District and if they were
to drive the roads today a lot of the projects didn't get done. There was a lot of ditching and
a lot of culvert stuff that didn't get done and he'd like to see the projects get done. He told
the Board there was a ditch that was supposed to be put in over on Parkside because water
was running down the road and it wasn't a big project, just dig a ditch and put a culvert in,
but it didn't get done and it's been 5 or 6 years. He wants to see the small projects get done
and he told the Board they should drive around every year and make a list of projects that
need to get done.
6. Chair Report
Chair Lorenson told the Board that there were some stop signs missing which were replaced
and there were child playing signs put out. He said there was a manhole on Beaver Lake that
was up and the grader was going to take it out, so they put some D -1 over there and took care
of it. They ditched out an area at St. Elias Ct which is draining now. The normal sanding &
grading was being done. He told the Board the week before Brechan's sander broke down
during the bad snow storm, but fortunately he was able to call in another contractor to take
care of the sanding. Chair Lorenson said Mike Pfeffer's fence, that Brechan plowed snow
into last year was in the right of way, but the problem the homeowner was having was the
contractor wouldn't contact him back. He asked the Board what they would like him to do

and he was told things arc to be handled on a case by case basis_ to take care of them and if
the Chair had problems to bring them back to the Board for a decision. S. Arndt told the
Board that if the Borough Assembly agreed they would use excess Funds out of the Sharatin,
Pullin. Curlew and Gull paving project. There was concern that there wouldn't be enough
funds to do it. so S. Arndt was trying to fashion a proposal of the service district matching the
Borough 50/50 not to exceed 565,000 dollars, but should the project come in over budget the
Board would need to look at where their current year surplus was and see what, if anything
they could roll forward in a budget adjustment to cover the additional cost. S. Arndt said his
discussions with Brechan and the Borough was to remove and replace the asphalt.
7. Old Business
a. Paving of Selief
Chair Lorenson told the Board that between S. Arndt and himself they were hoping they
could get a price from Brechan and move the paving project forward.
b. District Signs (Children Playing, Stop Signs)
Chair Lorenson told the Board the missing stop signs and children playing signs had been
taken care of D. Symmons told the Board when driving around the service area to look for
missing signs and report them to the Chair, so they can get replaced.
8. New Business
a. Puffin, Curlew & Gull Paving Timetable
Chair Lorenson said the timetable for the paving project was in the Boards packets so they
would have an idea of when work was to begin again and would be able to let people know if
asked. He told the Board he was upset the project didn't get done when it was supposed to,
but said that's the way it goes. Some points that were made: Budget — Over or Under, Paving
of dumpster pads and driveways, culvert replacement, manhole covers.
b. Budget FY2011

10. Board Member Comments
S. Arndt thanked T. Martin and C. Spalinger for coming to the meeting.
A.Torres told the Board even though they don't meet often, since there were new Board
Members he thought it would be a good idea to get Parliamentary Procedure information
from the Clerk's office.
D. Svmmons said as instrumental as the drive around was, it had already been too long since
they had done it and needed to get out there again. I - Ie hoped that much time didn't go by
before they got out there and he would like to see the Board get together as a group as they
had in the past.
C. Lorenson echoed S. Arndt's comments in thanking T. Martin and G. Spalinger for
coming. He said he was looking forward to having a fresh face on the Board and supports
new outlook.
