6. Visitor Comments
Bob Tucker of KIB suggested that Board speak to Darlene Turner of Monashka Bay. Darlene
brought engineering firm Lounsbury & Assoc who the Borough has on contract over for one
day and went through the entire Service Area with her to see what they were up against. A
list was prepared of capital improvement projects for the legislature, rather than the
community fund it is all within that service area. The use of an engineer got the service area
focused. Just something to think about, SA #1 could do the same thing. It was a good use of
funds.

7. Chair Report
Chair Arndt reported on projects; Shahafka acres PO is complete for ST Denny, they will
start working on that. Part of Shahafka acres issues is the culvert going across private
property and it will take some engineering. Might be the time to use Lounsbury. Discussion.
We will get preliminary information from St. Denny; they will be in that area, start at Lot 7a
and 9a. I have asked them to show parking that people are using, where off street parking is.
Part of the problem is people are required to have off street parking, many do not.
Chair Arndt also proposed that the Board have a meeting in January; stay away from
holidays. Turk will be back in the end of. January and is available.
Another small project is culvert on Sunset that_is,complete, alsso, ditching up to John Parker's
house, replacing damaged culvert, approximately 7 feet. The next driveway down, Stelzer,
started out with 18 but added 12 inch, they will have issues Discussion on KIB approving 18
inch culverts at road crossings; driveways °at 12 inch and some at inch. D. Symmons
inquired as to Beaver Lake culvert, i.e. 18 incti +to 24 inch...SA had not heard anything from
�
W. Koning Woody was to get back to SA. Discussion concerning culvertsize ensued. Bob
Tucker suggests that the Service District write a formal letter to E /F`'& Community
Development requesting the driveway %culvert procedure in writing, how it is done, what
department does it etc.
8. Action Items r -
a. Discussion -of the Ser District Contract
One request came in with the last sno Kevin was out of town, Ryan got call
from Vice Chatr;D. Symmons, asked why Dl on asphalt, supposed to be chips. Ryan
could not get hisguys to answer phone so he got Charlie Lorenson to put Dl out on

Discussion of contractor's responsibilities and what problems exist. There is a
possibility of two one= extensions. Discussion ensued.
Bob Tuckerradded that the contract is up in June, 2013, it has two renewals that the
Borough could put tit place. The Board could propose to the Borough that renewals
not be put out on existing contract because changes would like to be made to the
contract, make the changes to the contract, put it back out, allow anyone to bid on it.
Chair Arndt proposes in January to start drafting changes, identify specifics that the
Board would like to change, Chair Arndt proposes that the Board give notice that we
are not going to give extensions and also we will tighten up the contract and put it out
to rebid. The Board would like the new contract out to bid by end of March.

Symmons and seconded that the Board not exercise the option to extend the contract
and redraft the contract to tighten up the language. Motion CARRIED unanimously.
b. Chair Arndt added that he asked MB Manager Bud Cassidy about update on legal
opinion on service district contract: Bud Cassidy still had not heard anything on that.
c. Update work plan: Chair Arndt spoke to Bud Cassidy about that, the Board went over
these plans at the last meeting. Eli Wasili: The rest of the sewer, water and
underground electric, the surveyor got with the city, public works on their sewer and
water and also got with KEA. There are a few conflicts with the power but only one
on the culvert.
Mallard Way: Drainage issues, new culvert needed, fill area. More information
needed on Lot 6B, so we can show the people that we will need to get on their
property a little bit, will have to talk to them about that. Discussion ensued.
Woodland Drive: 24 -inch culvert in place to be replaced with a 30 -inch culvert and
widen road and realigning of it. There is an 80 foot ROW on turn. Discussion ensued.
Off - Street parking: Home owners have until August of 2013 to get off -street parking
figured out. Discussion ensues about off- street parking and removal of vehicles /boats
so snow removal can be done and parking in ROW. Discussion continued.
Dl on the roads — Project that was thought to he $3- 400,000, basically putting that out
to bid, on a time and material deal, contractor say it's a fixed price. SD provide
culvert, lots of culverts on projects, so not paying 20% markup, then have price on
D1 .This is repairs not maintenance. Ideally want work to commence in May, 2013,
then approximate tonnage on Dl; 20,000 tons of DI. It's been 6 years since we put
DI on roads, then it was $225- 250,000, not all roads, just main traveled ones. Will
need to purchase calcium chloride to put down with DI. This is its entirety will be
approaching $400,000 (ditching and culverting is included) Shahalka Cove will go to
FY2014. Need motion that our intent is to go to bid on these three projects along with
Dl on the roads.
It was MOVED G. Spalinger to go to bid on three road projects of Woodland Drive,
Mallard and Eli Wasili, along with purchase of Dl and calcium chloride on the roads,
Dennis Symons seconds. Discussion: T Martin would like to educate the public that
things are being done for the better of the Service District. Motion carried by a Roll
call vote.
d. New Business

Spalinger to nominate Dennis Symmons as Vice Chair. There being no other nominations,
Chair Arndt closed the nominations. A unanimous voice vote confirmed D. Symmons to the
Vice Chair position.
b. Survey work in the spring for the projects, $15,000. (The money allocated so far
will just cover the design work. The 15K would be for staking and layout for the
projects.) It was MOVED C. Spalinger and seconded to approve 15K budget for
survey work for all three, plus additional staking in the spring. Discussion: This
covers the projects that we have, this survey will go in and identify the property
corners, this will show where the culverts will go, homeowners will see this. Service
District will go door -to -door and give copy of work to be done. If there is there any
money left that will go for staking, next year, on the Shahafka Acre. (Not sure the
$6500 will cover everything we want to do there right now, so can use part of that for
right now, this gets it on the table, not that it has to be spent. This would be a time &
material purchase order with ST. Denny. Their rates are $155 an hour, mapping is
$125 an hour, topographic survey $155 an hour, general office $125 an hour.
MOTION carried by a roll call vote.
