A. Discussion on MK Enterprises
He�requested information from the Clerk's office a packet which was previously given to the
Assembly-regarding MK Enterprise invoices. This packet included a letter from Bill Roberts and
MK Enterprise invoices. The disagreement between the Service District and the Contractor and
the Service District and Borough staff was over interpretation of the contract where prices are
given by the hour on equipment. The majority of the overcharges are related to loaders and one
grader. The contract required that two graders be provided with snow gates. It wasn't until the
end o.f Janua2012 that the snow gates showed up on the graders. The snow gates were put on
.... ....,.. ryµe
only one of the three graders that were bid. One grader was not on the bid list. The Contractor
had three graders on the bid list that were not kept operating. Borough staff disagreed with Arndt
on the interpretation of the contract and paid the invoices from MK Enterprise. On the 2"d Year
of the contract staff started to agree with Arndt. We need to take this to the Assembly for a
reimbursement of$40,000 to Service Area No.l budget. Board discussion ensued.
MAHONEY MOVED to table this request indefinitely.
MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND MOTION. Board discussion continued.
SYMMONS MOVED to appeal the staff decision to the Assembly on the overcharges by MK
Enterprises per our contract with them and the service district be reimbursed for$40,000.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED 6 TO 1.
B. Rusty Olson Complaint
Rusty Olson explained to the Board about a drainage issue he has had for over 20 years on his
property on Shahafka Circle. He has complained many times about this problem and was told to
be patient. His biggest question was how the drainage was being created coming off of Carl
Fortune's property. He has not been able to get an answer. He wants to know if Mr. Fortune
needs to redirect the water or was it the Borough's problem because it's coming across the
Borough road. He just happens to be downhill from it. Board discussion ensued. Chair Arndt
proposed that he would have a plan for that area at the next regular meeting.

11. BOARD COMMENTS
N. Hayden-Thanks for taking care of the rainy, icy roads.
E. Mahoney- He wished Board members would have talked to staff about MK Enterprises. He
did talk with staff and they have a far different opinion than what the Board had here tonight. He
hopes the best for it. He thinks it was water under the dam. He thinks we learned something from
it. Congratulations on Chair and Vice Chair elections.
M. Sirofchuk - He hopes the Olsen thing can move forward. He knows that it will be glacier
slow but if there was anything the Board could do to help, please let us know. Our contractor
came down Cliffside to scrape the other day and now there was a ridge of gravel that was frozen.
D. Symmons -rv„-.He would like to think that any Assembly in their right mind would see the logic
of reimbursing us on these funds. He can imagine what staff would say. It has nothing to do with
not taking notes.
B. Mann -None
P. Hansen - None.
