which will make the final selection for award.
Borough Office Lift Station Issues -
KIB staff are currently addressing an issue with the KIB main building lift station, which
continues to impact both KIB and City of Kodiak staff. Due to concerns regarding
hazardous materials such as asbestos, we encapsulated the crawlspace adjacent to the
sewage lift station on October 9th.
KIB staff also worked with the A&E firms to resize the pumps, as the original ones were
oversized for the old dormitory. Replacement pumps and controllers have been ordered
and are expected to arrive early next week. E&F staff have contracted with contractors
to install the pumps when they arrive.
Borough Building Boiler Installation —
Remaining work has been discussed with the prime contractor including control work,
insulation, exterior finish, and final inspection.
KFRC —
• KFRC Elevator Maintenance Services Contract — After the award of Contract
FY2024-38 with Otis Elevator, KIB sent the Contract to be signed. Otis
responded with some requests of changes. There were some contract language
negotiations over the past few months in attempts to come to an agreement that
both parties were content with. Unfortunately, KIB and Otis were unable to come
to an agreement. After a discussion with the Borough Attorney, it has been
decided to cancel the bid in its entirety. This means that the award that was
authorized on June 27, 2024, will have to be rescinded. Staff will be requesting to
add that as an agenda item in the upcoming weeks.
Page 14 of 304
• The apartment sewage lift station project has been further delayed. New bases,
pipe guides and pumps have been installed and are operating in manual/hand

• GSA representative has stated the revised contract amount for required water
testing will be completed soon. The due date for sampling and receipt of data will
be extended to reflect the delay.
• Minimal upgrades are required due to fire and safety inspection. Protection of the
elevated dock edge, installation of fire extinguisher signs are required.
• GSA representative has discussed the requirement to meet to discuss the
current lease and utility use. GSA must look at if lease payments are covering
the costs of operating the systems that are directly utilized by NOAA.
• Additional electrical circuits have been priced for GSA consideration to
accommodate additional chillers for NOAA. Project to be funded on the next
fiscal year's budget.
Landfill —
• ADEC Solid Waste Inspection score has been provided to staff and a 95.7% was
earned. Points were deducted for windblown trash, vector control (bear) issues,
alternative cover not approved.
• Electric fence maintenance work is continuing. ADF&G has been on-site to help
identify issues and solutions to improve the electric fence. They have also offered
to provide training in specific bear hazing techniques for staff.
• Staff is continuing to investigate the Compliance Order by Consent (COBC)
associated with the storm water violations. A well installation RFP is being
worked on to provide more insight.
• Baler building concrete floor contract and schedules are set. Anticipate a late
October work time due to mix design testing requirements. Anticipate the pour to
occur during the first week of November, coinciding with the baler shut down.
o Baler Facility has closed on September 25. Staff anticipates the baler to
be of service for possibly 8 weeks for a major rebuild. A dumpster has
been provided for residential customers that bring waste to the Landfill.
Commercial hauler will be loose filling at the current landfill operating
face.
• Staff is working with the Denali Commission to continue the award process for
the Regional Solid Waste Management Planning Grant. The Denali Commission
approved the KIB and KANA joint request for up to $500,000. The Assembly will
be seeing a resolution soon to accept the funds.
• There has been an increase in bear activity at roll off container locations.
Reminder to residents to CLOSE the doors when done disposing of their trash.

Leachate Treatment Plant —
• Staff received a response from ADEC regarding the request to reseed and/or add
additional microbes to the system to aid the biological process. Both options are
being discussed to determine which would be the most beneficial. Conversations
with chemical manufacturing companies is also occurring.
• Staff has received and is testing three alternate polymer samples. First sample
appears to not improve the flocculant reaction. Second sample seems to be
performing better.
• Pretreatment Upgrade Project — Contractor is scheduled to be in town early
November. Pump switch out to occur along with punch list items.
• Staff has observed a change in the chemical makeup of the leachate entering the
plant. This change is believed to have been caused by moving landfill operations
down to Cell One, where leachate is entering the system more directly instead of
filtering through the MSW. Higher concentrations of BOD, COD, TSS, and metals
are being observed.

Campus Upgrades and Maintenance —
The BFD is continuing to make our training / drill grounds truly an all -hazards

scenarios to test members skills in stabilization, lifting, and extrication. Again, we ask

remove any items at all. What may seem like junk or surplus is truly our members
"Treasures of Training". Thank you !!!!

gallons, to get the capacity needed to service all self -
haul customers once per week.
d. Divide the capacity of the available roll -off containers
by the total capacity to service all self -haul customers
once per week to obtain the number of containers
needed to be hauled to service all self -haul customers
once per week.
e. EXAMPLE:
1. Contractor has 24, 20 -yard roll -off containers
available at set out sites.
2. Contractor has 1723 self -haul customers.
a. 1723 self -haul customers x 96 gallons =
165,408 gallons total capacity needed to
service all self -haul customers once per week.
b. 24 roll -off containers x 4032 gallons (capacity
of one roll -off container) = 96768 gallons
capacity if all roll -off containers were hauled
once per week.
c. 165,408 gallons — 96768 gallons = 68640
gallons remaining to be hauled to equal once
per week service for all self -haul customers.

11.03 Adjustment of Contractor Service Fee.
a. Adjustment events and timing. The Contractor Service Fee will be upon
direction of the KIB, in its sole discretion.
b. Annual Adjustment On July 1, 2020, and each following July 1, the
Contractor Service Fee will be adjusted so as to make it equal to the
Contractor Service Fee that is in effect during the prior Contract Year (or
portion of that Contract Year), plus or minus the Weighted Adjustment
Percentage times that Contractor Service Fee.
Between April 1 and April 15 of each Contract Year, Contractor will prepare
a statement setting forth Contractor's detailed calculation of Contractor's
requested annual adjustment in Contractor Service Fee in the form of the
following examples or other format prescribed by KIB (see, for example,
subsection hl). The calculation of disposal component shall be made
based upon the estimated change in the disposal cost proposed as
provided by the Borough Manager or designee. Contractor's statement is
for convenience of KIB but is not binding on KIB. KIB may make corrections
or adjustments to that statement. After final Assembly approval of any
change in disposal rates the disposal component adjustment shall be
modified accordin I he method used to calculate the annual service fee
adjustment is set forth in the following subsection c.
c. Calculation of Annual Service Fee Adjustment. The annual adjustment
will be calculated for five Collection Rate Cost Components and Recycling as
follows:
(1) Collection & Administrative Cost Component: Annual Changes in the
CPI. The operational component identified by the Contractor for each
level of service will be adjusted by 75% of the CPI percent change from
second half of one year to the next (i.e., from the second half of year n-1
to the second half of year n, with n being the most current year available),
but no greater than 5%, as confirmed by KIB.
"CPI" means the second half consumer price index (CPI -U) for Anchorage, Base
Period 1982-84=100, Series ID: CUUSA427SAO, not seasonally adjusted, as
published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics at
www.bls.gov.
(2) Fuel Cost Component: Annual Changes in the PPI. The fuel component
identified by the Contractor for each level of service will be adjusted by
75% of the PPI percent change from February to February (i.e. from
February of year n-1 to February of yearn with n being the current year),
but no greater than 5%, as confirmed by KIB.
"PPI" means the annual Producer Price Index for No. 2 diesel fuel, Base Period
1982=100, Series ID: WPU057303, not seasonally adjusted, as published by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statisticsatwww.bls.gov.

costs include, but are not limited to vehicle depreciation, leases, cart, and
container rent (as necessary to maintain containers provided to
Contractor at the start of this contract, and for any new containers
purchased by the Contractor).
(4) Disposal Cost Component: Change in Disposal Fee and Tonnage Per
Customer. The disposal cost identified by the Contractor for each level of
service will be adjusted by 100% of the change, if any, in the tonnage
rate charged Contractor at KIB Landfill (compared to the rate in effect
when the RFP was issued October 2018 April , a 'n' Q
.�), and for the ,...-- Commented [PV73]: From Amendment #1
change, if any, in the ratio between tons disposed and the number of
customers served (compared to the ratio as calculated in October 2018

In General. All actions taken by Contractor under this Contract shall comply
with all Applicable Laws. No Performance Obligation may be construed to
relieve Contractor of any obligations imposed by Applicable Law. Contractor
shall acquire and maintain in good standing all permits, licenses, and other
entitlements necessary to complete its Performance Obligations. If a Permit
issued by KIB remains in effect after the expiration or termination of this
Contract, Contractor nevertheless may not operate within KIB for collection
of Solid Waste formerly collected under this Contract. THIS PROHIBITION

seek specific enforcement of this prohibition pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement and as otherwise authorized by law. At least sixty 601 days prior
to the Contract Commencement Date, and thereafter as requested,
Contractor shall promptly deliver to KIB copies of any and all Permits, as well
as other documentation, sufficient to evidence that Contractor has complied
with all permitting and licensing requirements mandated by Applicable Law.
Contractor shall pay all taxes pertaining to its Performance Obligations under
this Contract.
Ib. No Limitation on Duty to Comply. References in this Contract to particular
provisions or requirements of Applicable Law may not be construed to limit
Contractor's obligation to comply with all provisions of Applicable Law. Those
references are intended to facilitate Contractor's satisfaction of its
Performance Obligations and KIB's administration and specific enforcement
of this Contract. Those references may not be construed to constitute lack of
Contractor obligation to comply with other provisions or requirements of
Applicable Law that are not specifically referred to or cited in this Contract. If
any provision of this Contract is more stringent than Applicable Law,
Contractor will comply with that provision.

Law (Including the KIB Code) in the same manner as it may enforce
Contractor's other contractual obligations under this Contract (including
specific performance and as Breaches subject to cure), whether or not
noncompliance with those provisions of Applicable Law has become a
Violation. Neither prosecution of Contractor for noncompliance with
Applicable Law nor enforcement of Applicable Law shall be a condition
precedent to enforcing those Performance Obligations. In determining
whether or not Contractor is in noncompliance with those provisions, the
standard of proof applicable to breach of contract will apply. KIB has no
obligation to enforce any Applicable Law.
(2) Violation. Contractor's Violation of Applicable Law is a Default subject to

safety, health, and welfare.

SECTION 15: BREACH OF AGREEMENT, DAMAGES, AND DEFAULT
15.01 Liquidated Damages.
a. Acknowledgements. The Parties hereby acknowledge that:
(1) KIB has incurred considerable time and expense negotiating this Contract
to secure an improved level of Collection and Recycling service quality,
increased Diversion and increased Customer satisfaction. Therefore,
consistent and reliable Contract Services are of utmost importance to KIB
and Customers.
(2) In awarding this Contract to Contractor, KIB considered and relied on
Contractor's municipal references, experience, qualifications, and
reputation as to service quality, and Contractor's Breach represents a loss
of bargain to KIB.
(3) Quantified standards of performance are necessary and appropriate to
ensure consistent and reliable Contract Service, and if Contractor fails to
meet Performance Obligations, KIB will suffer damages in subjective
ways and in varying degrees of intensity that are incapable of
measurement in precise monetary terms. The Imposition of liquidated
damages is not a penalty but is instead recognition of the difficulty in
ascertaining those damages that may reasonably result from Contractor's
breach of its Performance Obligations.
(4) Termination of this Contract for Default and other remedies provided in
this Contract are, at best, a means of future correction and not remedies
that make KIB whole for past Breaches.
b. Non -Waiver. KIB's assessment of Liquidated Damages for Contractor's
breaches does not preclude KIB from enforcing the KIB Code in the event that
such breaches constitute Violations.
c. Procedure.
(1) Notice of Intent to Assess Liquidated Damages. Before KIB may assess
Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section, for each category of
violation (that is, for each of the categories listed in Exhibit B), KIB shall
give Contractor written notice of Contractor's violation of the performance
standard and of KIB's intent to assess Liquidated Damages for any future
violation of the same performance standard. The purpose of this provision
is to give Contractor notice that KIB considers Contractor to have violated
a performance standard, and that KIB will assess Liquidated Damages if
such violations are repeated.

evidence and render a decision sustaining or reversing the Liquidated
Damages as soon as reasonably possible after the meeting. Written
notice of the decision shall be provided to Contractor. In the event
Contractor does not submit a written request for a meeting within ten (10)
calendar days of the date of the Notice of Assessment, KIB determination
shall be final and KIB may assess the Liquidated Damages, unless KIB
waives this requirement. Liquidated damages shall be assessed according
to the schedule set forth in Exhibit B.

9. Amendment to section 11.03(b) Annual Adjustment. Section 11.03(b) "Annual Adjustment" on page 32-33 is
amended to make provision for the disposal rate adjustment based upon any actual changes in rates adopted by the Assembly

b. Annual Adjustment. On July 1, 2020, and each following July 1, the Contractor Service Fee will be
adjusted so as to make it equal to the Contractor Service Fee that is in effect during the prior Contract Year
(or portion of that Contract Year), plus or minus the Weighted Adjustment Percentage times that Contractor
Service Fee.
Between April 1 and April 30 of each Contract Year, Contractor will prepare a statement setting forth
Contractor's detailed calculation of Contractor's requested annual adjustment in Contractor Service Fee
in the form of the following examples or other format prescribed by KIB (see, for example, subsection
h). The calculation of the disposal component shall be made based upon the estimated change in the
disposal cost proposed as provided by the Borough Manager or designee. Contractor's statement is for
convenience of KIB but is not binding on KIB. KIB may make corrections or adjustments to that
statement. After final Assembly approval of any change in disposal rates the disposal component
adjustment shall be modified accordingly. The method used to calculate the annual service fee adjustment
is set forth in the following subsection c.

customers served (compared to the ratio as calculated in October 2018).
11. Section 11.03(h)(3) showing the table for the example of adjustment of the disposal cost is corrected and

Note: Green cells are the contract start, which is used as the basis for calculations in all future years.
Yellow cells are data that would be input each year based on tonnage rate, customer accounts, and scale
house records.
"tons and customers refer to residential accounts + commercial dumpsters. The number of residential
customers refers to roll cart customers and self -haul customers. The number of commercial customers
refers to the number of dumpsters in service. It excludes commercial roll offs where customers are
billed for the actual cost of disposal. All numbers shown are examples (not actuals) and are shown for
illustrative purposes.
In this example, the disposal component of rates in initial proposal would be adjusted by 10.98% to
take effect on the contract start date. The initial proposal rates would be adjusted by 8.67% and would
take effect on July 1, 2020, and 10.43% on July 1, 2021.

b. Contractor Service Fee is not adjusted for changes in these costs, except
under Section 19.03. Reference in this Contract to providing Contract Services
"without surcharge" or similar language does not infer that absence of those
words, "without surcharge", elsewhere in this Contract, means that Contractor
is entitled to either of the following:
(1) compensation in addition to the Contractor Service Fee listed on the
Contractor Service Fee Schedule; or,
(2) reimbursement of Direct Costs or Contractor's Reimbursement Costs.
11.03 Adjustment of Contractor Service Fee.
a. Adjustment events and timing. The Contractor Service Fee will be upon
direction of the KIB, in its sole discretion.
b. Annual Adjustment. On July 1, 2020, and each following July 1, the
Contractor Service Fee will be adjusted so as to make it equal to the
Contractor Service Fee that is in effect during the prior Contract Year (or
portion of that Contract Year), plus or minus the Weighted Adjustment
Percentage times that Contractor Service Fee.
Between April 1 and April 15 of each Contract Year, Contractor will prepare a
statement setting forth Contractor's detailed calculation of Contractor's
requested annual adjustment in Contractor Service Fee in the form of the
following examples or other format prescribed by KIB (see, for example,
s u b s e c t i o n h ). Contractor's statement is for convenience of KIB but is not
32
Contract No. FY2019-25B, Amendment #2, With Waste Connections Of Alaska,... Page 160 of 304
AGENDA ITEM #13.A.
Contract No. FY2019-25
binding on KIB. KIB may make corrections or adjustments to that statement.
The method used to calculate the annual service fee adjustment is set forth in
the following subsection c.
c. Calculation of Annual Service Fee Adjustment. The annual adjustment will
be calculated for five Collection Rate Cost Components and Recycling as
follows:
(1) Collection & Administrative Cost Component: Annual Chancres in the CPI.
The operational component identified by the Contractor for each level of
service will be adjusted by 75% of the CPI percent change from second
half of one year to the next (i.e., from the second half of year n-1 to the
second half of year n, with n being the most current year available), but
no greater than 5%, as confirmed by KIB.
"CPP" means the second half consumer price index (CPI -U) for
Anchorage, Base Period 1982-84=100, Series ID: CUUSA427SAO, not
seasonally adjusted, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics at www.bis.gov.
(2) Fuel Cost Component: Annual Changes in the PPI. The fuel component
identified by the Contractor for each level of service will be adjusted by
75% of the PPI percent change from February to February (i.e. from
February of year n-1 to February of year n with n being the c urrent year),
but no greater than 5%, as confirmed by KIB.
"PPP" means the annual Producer Price Index for No. 2 diesel fuel,
Base Period 1982=100, Series ID: WPU057303, not seasonally
adjusted, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics at www.bls .gov.
(3) Fixed Cost Component: No Change Over the Initial Contract. The fixed
costs identified by the Contractor for each level of service will not be
adjusted and remain constant over the term of the initial contract. These
costs include, but are not limited to vehicle depreciation, leases, cart
and container rent (as necessary to maintain containers provided to
Contractor at the start of this contract, and for any new containers
purchased by the Contractor).
(4) Disposal Cost Component: Change in Disposal Fee and To_ nnane Per
Customer. The disposal cost identified by the Contractor for each level
of service will be adjusted by 100% of the change, if any, in the tonnage
rate charged Contractor at KIB Landfill (compared to the rate in effect on
April 15, 2018), and for the change, if any, in the ratio between tons
disposed and the number of customers served (compared to the ratio as
calculated on April 15, 2018).
(5) Profit: No Chane Over the Initial Contract. The percentage of profit
(operating margin) identified by the Contractor for each level of service
33
Contract No. FY2019-25B, Amendment #2, With Waste Connections Of Alaska,... Page 161 of 304
AGENDA ITEM #13.A.
Contract No. FY2019-25
will not be adjusted and remain constant over the term of the initial
contract. Profit is calculated as a percentage of the total Collection rate.
(6) Recycling: Annual Chancres_ in the CPI. The Contractor Service Fee for
Recycling will be adjusted by 75% of the CPI percent change, if any,
from second half of one year to the next (i.e., from the second half of
year n-1 to the second half of year n, with n being the most current
year available), in the CPI during the period commencing April 1 of the
previous year and ending March 31 of the current year, but no greater
than 5%, as confirmed by KIB.

e. Adjustment for Changes in Operations. As soon as possible following
agreement of the Parties under Section 14, the Contractor Service Fee will
be adjusted for a change in Contractor's Direct Costs of providing Contract
Services due to changes in Performance Obligations. To the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, an adjustment will reflect Contractor's costs from the
date incurred. The Contractor Service Fee will not otherwise be adjusted (for
example, no adjustment will occur for any changes in the price of fuel).
f. Rounding.
(1) Calculations. Interim calculations shall be rounded to the nearest
hundredth i.e., 0.499 and 0.510 shall be rounded to 0.50, excepting
percentage changes used in calculations, which shall be rounded to the
nearest hundredth percent i.e., 0.50%
(2) Dollars. The final adjustment in Contractor Service Fee shall be rounded
to the nearest penny.
g. No Adjustment if Any Breach or Default Remains Uncured. The Contactor
Service Fee will not be adjusted upwards if Contractor has Breached this
Agreement or Defaulted on any Performance Obligation, and such Breach or
Default remains uncured:

Note: Green cells are the contract start, which is used as the basis for calculations in all
future years. Yellow cells are data that would be input each year based on tonnage rate,
customer accounts, and scale house records.
tons and customers refer to residential accounts + commercial dumpsters. The number
of commercial "customers" refers to the number of containers in service. It excludes
commercial roll offs where customers are billed for the actual cost of disposal. All
numbers shown are examples (not actuals) shown for illustrative purposes.
In this example, the disposal component of rates in initial proposal would be adjusted
by 5.64% to take effect on the contract start date. The initial proposal rates would be
adjusted by 7.27% and would take effect on July 1, 2020, and 9.01% on July 1, 2021.

15.01 Liquidated Damages.
a. Acknowledgements. The Parties hereby acknowledge that:
(1) KIB has incurred considerable time and expense negotiating this Contract
to secure an improved level of Collection and Recycling service quality,
increased Diversion and increased Customer satisfaction. Therefore,
consistent and reliable Contract Services are of utmost importance to KIB
and Customers.
(2) In awarding this Contract to Contractor, KIB considered and relied on
Contractor's municipal references, experience, qualifications, and
reputation as to service quality, and Contractor's Breach represents a loss
of bargain to K113-

ensure consistent and reliable Contract Service, and if Contractor fails to
47
Contract No. FY2019-25B, Amendment #2, With Waste Connections Of Alaska,... Page 175 of 304
AGENDA ITEM #13.A.
Contract No. FY2019-25
meet Performance Obligations, KIB will suffer damages in subjective ways
and in varying degrees of intensity that are incapable of measurement in
precise monetary terms. The imposition of liquidated damages is not a
penalty, but is instead recognition of the difficulty in ascertaining those
damages that may reasonably result from Contractor's breach of its
Performance Obligations.
(4) Termination of this Contract for Default and other remedies provided in this
Contract are, at best, a means of future correction and not remedies that
make KIB whole for past Breaches.

breaches does not preclude KIB from enforcing the KIB Code in the event that
such breaches constitute Violations.

performance standard, and that KIB will assess Liquidated Damages if such
violations are repeated.

Damages pursuant to this Section monthly. At the end of each month during

for each assessment. The assessment shall become final unless, within ten
(10) calendar days of the date of the notice of assessment, Contractor
provides a written request for a meeting with the to present evidence that the
assessment should not be made. KIB shall schedule a meeting with
Contractor as soon as reasonably possible after timely receipt of
Contractor's request. KIB shall review Contractor's evidence and render a
decision sustaining or reversing the Liquidated Damages as soon as
reasonably possible after the meeting. Written notice of the decision shall
be provided to Contractor. In the event Contractor does not submit a written
request for a meeting within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the Notice
of Assessment, KIB determination shall be final and KIB may assess the
Liquidated Damages, unless KIB waives this requirement. Liquidated
damages shall be assessed according to the schedule set forth in Exhibit B.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. FY2025-09, Ratifying And Certifying The Results Of The
October 1, 2024, Regular Municipal Election
ORIGINATOR: Nova M. Javier, MMC, Borough Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Resolution No. FY2025-09.
DISCUSSION:
The Borough Election on October 1, 2024, was executed seamlessly, reflecting the diligence
and efficiency of the Election officials and the Clerk's Office staff. The contributions of the
Precinct Election Officials, including a Youth Vote Ambassador, the receiving team, and the
canvass board, deserve recognition for their outstanding efforts throughout the election
process.
The four members of the canvass team demonstrated meticulous attention to detail and
implemented preventative measures while reviewing voters' signatures on the precinct
registers to detect any instances of duplicate voting. They also meticulously counted all by -
mail votes, absentee by -mail ballots, special needs ballots, questioned ballots, and tallied the
write-in votes. The canvass team thoroughly examined all ballot accountability reports from
the precincts, early voting site, and by -mail voting. Additionally, they identified rejected ballots
and drafted letters to inform voters of the reasons their ballots were not counted.
I can confidently assert that the local election was
integrity, adhering to state law and borough ordinances

October 17, 2024
Dear Borough Assembly,
m, w•t�•ay
01
My name is Brenda Finley, I live at 468 Lilly Drive. I come before you today. Borough
Assembly, asking for your help to perform the much overdue maintenance on Lilly Dr. I do
know this is not in the job description of the Assembly, but I have nowhere else to turn at this
point. I cannot get any help from my Service Area Board chair, the Service Area I Board, and
ironically, not from the Borough Mayor either.
This maintenance involves a fully filled-in and overgrown ditch at 482 Lilly that is diverting
water into my yard, and a completely filled in and overgrown ditch at 452 Lilly. The ditch at 452
Lilly has made a home to a now 4 -year-old pool of water, and a full-size tree on Borough
property (that is taller than the 2 -story house it is in front of) that completely obstructs the view
of oncoming traffic.
Atter submitting 3 requests via the Borough website, Meagan Christiansen referred me to Scott
Arndt. I initially requested assistance directly from Scott Arndt on April 8, 2024. I called Scott
Arndt that morning, and he stopped by my house just shy of an hour and thirty minutes later.
When Scott Arndt first arrived at my house, he initiated conversation about the work that was
done several years back to widen my driveway. Scott Arndt told me that the problem I "Nas
having was because that job was not done correctly, and lie referred to the contractor that �,as
hired as a POS. I informed Scott Arndt that my ex-husband was the one who handled that and I
really had nothing to do with it. With Scott, continuing to make excuses related to the previous
hired contractor, I informed him that this is a much bigger problem as the contractor and my ex-
husband were not responsible for completely filling in ditches or planting trees in the ditch to
further obstruct drainage and the view of oncoming traffic.
Scott Arndt told me at that point there was nothing he could do any«ay, because the ground was
frozen. I acknowledged that. I was aware the ground \vas frozen, but I was reaching out early,
Page 272 of 304
AGENDA ITEM #19.B.
March 25'x' via the website, and April 8°' directly to Scott Arndt, so I wouldn't have to go through
another summer with these neglected maintenance issues.
My service maintenance issues include:
1) the ditch Filled with standing water desperately needing ditch clearing and drainage
control (I did mention to Scott Arndt that I have had a child fall in this water)
2) my yard flooding due to a lack of drainage control and the ditches needing cleared.
3) I am not being able to safely drive out of my driveway because my view is completely
obstructed by a full-size tree. Right-of-way vegetation removal is YEARS overdue.
That conversation of me requesting help from Scott Arndt on April 8 was the last time I heard
from him until October 7, 2024. One hundred and eighty-two days later!!!
During those 182 days, I called and left voicemails on 17 different occasions. Not even one of'
those phone calls or voicemails were returned. Not even one. I was completely ignored for 182
days.
I sent an email to the entire service area 1 board (except Scott Arndt -no email posted to reach
him) on June 24, 2024 at 12:49. I did not receive a single reply from anyone on the board.
I have Filled out 6 electronic complaint forms on the Borough website. I've received ZERO
responses from anyone on the Service Area i Board, or Scott Arndt.
I have reached out on multiple occasions to Ms. Williams and/or Mr. Conrad, seeking anybody
that could help me with this situation or at least return communication. Both have been
extremely communicative, but I was told it's ultimately up to Scott Arndt to get the work done.
I do appreciate the fact that both Miss Williams and Mr. Conrad at least returned my calls every
time I reached out to them.
Please note, I have desperately tried to get this taken care of THIS SUMMER. 1 honestly don't
know what else I can do to remedy this situation. Thus, my attempt to seek help from the
Assembly. Scott Arndt must be accountable to someone, who is that person(s)?
Page 273 of 304
AGENDA ITEM #19.B.
On October 7, 2024, Scott Arndt was sent to my house to have a conversation with me. When he
began another conversation with "the mishandling of the initial permit''. I abruptl) interrupted
that conversation. Its moot. Seeing how that permit angle was going nowhere, Scott then began
to use the excuse of funding being an issue for getting the work done and waiting for a fiscal
year. I immediately informed him that I knew that wasn't the case either. According to the
Borough website, funding is not an issue for this service area board, as it is for other boards in
our community. I asked Scott Arndt to let me keep my tax money this year to use to do the
clearings. lie said it doesn't work that way.
It does state on the Borough website that "right of way vegetation clearing" and "ditch clearing
and drainage control" are service maintenance provided by the Borough. So why, Scott Arndt,
are you trying so hard to get out of doing your job ESPECIALLY when I tell you it is putting my
family at risk.
After I stated the funding excuse was crap, 1 was given the third excuse about gravel that
Brechan needs moved. Scott Arndt let me know they "got a bunch of gravel, D 1, and that's
gonna be starting to be moved here soon" -Scott Arndt.
I told Scott Arndt that Brechan didn't need this d-1 moved on March 25111, when I first reached
out for assistance. Also, i am aware that gravel can be moved when the ground is frozen.
The next excuse from Scott Arndt, was that the same work (obstruction removal and ditch
clearing) needing to be completed on Balika, "cause its pretty bad". I travel Balika Lane every
day. I took my dogs on a walk over there on October 8". On that day, there wasn't even a ditch
with water standing in it. In fact, you can tell there are actually ditches on Balika, which is better
than the North side of Lilly Drive. I couldn't find even one spruce tree, taller than a two-story
house, that was completely obstructing the view of an occupant leaving their residence. Scott
Arndt, I would like to point out that using examples of other streets in the district, that need the
same work, further reiterates the fact that you are not doing your job and the service maintenance
is not being provided.
Scott Arndt also used the excuse he would have to get the utilities marked and "that will take
some time". On 10-14-24 I called Public Works and 811 to order that done. Shout out to public
works, they �N.ere there 20 minutes after I placed the call and the blue lines were marked. The
811 line said it would be done by the 16"'. On 10-15-24, GCI marked their lines, and as
Page 274 of 304
AGENDA ITEM #19.B.
promised, yesterday 10-16-24 KEA came and marked their lines. (See pictures) I took care of
that for you Scott.
Lastly, Scott Arndt gave me the excuse of "pretty soon the snow will come, and our work will be
plowing, sanding and snow removal." As you can imagine, I darn near choked on my own
saliva. This was the sole excuse I was trying to avoid by reaching out on March 25`x' WHEN
THE GROUND WAS STILL FROZEN.
Now, at the point of this last excuse, 1 am realizing that the excuses are going to keep coming. I
was also reaching the realization that Scott Arndt has no intention doing the routine maintenance
that I'm requesting. (The routine maintenance that is to be provided by the service area I board,
chaired by Scott Arndt).
As of this meeting October 17, 2024, it has been 206 days since I first requested that the routine
maintenance to be completed. Realistically, with an initial request of March 25`x', 2024, almost
SEVEN MONTHS is plenty of time to get this work done.
Scott .Arndt, as an elected official, you have a job to help members of your area with their
questions, problems and concerns. i couldn't find anywhere in your job description where it says
YOU should ignore community members for 206 with the interpreter and everything on your point
Yeah I was talking El Palmar you CC me and I'll Mathieu OK,just be like hey after the hearing
loser Nvith my fat far this is what i think no yes yes I absolutely do yeah hi Jennifer I don't know
either because I don't feel like such a word appreciate that no yes yup absolutely yeah yeah that
is absolutely true so long double gonna have the best life OK oh my gosh what happens can
potentially be there how awesome that would be for them to be able to celebrate him cancel
absolutely shit especially with judge me comment about this being his old is Kayson you know
shit like that oh shit and then we're going well but here's the deal with that though he did Albert
Karina or whoever it was it said it gonna need a couple months to hire an attorney either gonna
need a little time for the attorney to get caught up on all the things it was the SSN Play member
that absolutely Kaitlyn oh good no she got transferred out days. Mildly put it's extremely
unprofessional and you need to do better.
Board members, I stand before you tonight, October 17th, 2024, explaining to you how hard I
have tried to get this done and eliminate these safety concerns that I have for my family. I have
gone above and beyond to try to make this happen. Tonight, on the record, I am fonnally asking
Page 275 of 304
AGENDA ITEM #19.B.
all of you for your assistance this year before the ground freezes to getting this work done.
If all else fails, I am asking on record for you Ms. Williams, to assist me in getting the work
done.
Thank
Brenda Finley

Comments & Questions: The ditch in front of my house has grown over, as has the
ditches in front of the houses to both my right and left. My yard
is continually flooding due to this. The house to my left when
facing the road has a huge pool of water in it that has been
there for over 2 years now. My handicapped child has fallen in
it 3 times. It is a safety issue.
My question is this, am I responsible for digging this out? Who
do I need to speak with to resolve this issue? I can't go through
another summer with this issue of near drowning children and
stagnent water.

Comments & Questions: Hi, homeowner and Borough resident me again. I have the
same issue/problem/question as before. I live at 468 Lilly Drive.
There are issues with my ditch and the ditches on either side of
me not draining. My yard floods and my child has fallen in the
standing water next to my driveway. All I need to know is if it is
up to me to fix this issue or if the Borough takes care of it? If it
is up to me, send someone out to mark utilities and I will take
care of the rest. If it is a Borough job, please take care of it.
Years of standing water is an issue. Any communication is
welcome and appreciated. I'm sure there are staffing issues,
that is common now days, but this is a safety concern and I do
not know who to bring it to in order to get this addressed.
Thank you.

AGENDA ITEM #19.B.
Location of problem: the ditches between Lilly Drive and the house assigned 468
Lilly Dr. Also the ditch in front of both adjacent houses to 468.
Brief description of I have been reaching out to Scott Arndt (phone) as well as the
complaint: entire board via email and can't get a single response or action
from any party in the service district. There is no drainage in
the ditches in front of my house. This has been a problem for
several years. 1 began contacting Scott in APRIL. Once my
problem was stated and request made for work to be done, he
has REFUSED all contact with me. Now the ground will be
freezing again and I had no communication or resolution all
summer. This pool of stagnant water is an issue as I have
already had a child fall into it. The Borough has been notfied
but has failed to remedy the problem. The liability lies with the
Borough there. ALSO .... There is a full tree not only blocking
drainage, but also blocking the view of oncoming traffic when
exiting my driveway. Scott has been notified of this as well but
has refused to fix this problem as well. It is the duty of the
Borough to maintain this. These are major safety issues to me
and my family and I want to see it fixed. From April until now is
plenty of time to get this work done. The "ground is frozen"
excuse will not be applicable when I have been trying for
MONTHS to get this remedied.
Scott Arndt has proven he will not reach out to me. I need
someone to reach out to me with a plan to get this work done
this year. It would also be great if we had someone that could
hold people (Scott Arndt) accountable to reach out to the
members they serve (like me) and actually do their job.
The appropriate Road Service Area (RSA) Board will determine whether the type of
warning sign requested is necessary. Special request signs must meet the criteria
and will be subject to the discretion of the Engineering/Facilities Director.

Hi, Brenda Finley again. I don't know why I keep wasting my
time trying to reach out to get this issue resolved but here I am
again. I will continue to reach out with my issues and concerns
until someone communicates with me and assists me with this
issue. I have a very strong paper trail. Where is the
communication from the Borough? I am available. I am still
requesting help for the drainage issues on Lilly Drive that have
caused deep ruts in the road now that have lead to yet another
accident with my children. Please help me with this issue. I
have been seeking help with this since APRILIII You have an
obligation to maintain borough property and you are not doing
it. Your negligence is putting my family at risk.

468 Lilly Dr
--------------
Specify reason for Regulatory/Warning sign request:
There needs to be a sign put at the end of my driveway to warn people that they are in danger of a severe accident. The
Borough is refusing to perform the service maintenance listed on the website, right-of-way vegetation clearing, ditch clearing
and drainage control. Because the Borough will not help me, I need help alerting people that they are at risk of a motor vehicle
collision while leaving my driveway, due to the tree obstructing the entire view for oncoming traffic.
Location of problem:"
On Borough property in front of 452 Lilly Drive.

Brief descripti n of complaint:
Hi, me again. STILL trying to get some help but definitely realizing quickly that Scott Arndt will be of no help in this matter. I ask
you, who do I reach out to when the Borough Mayor and the Service Area 1 Board chair are both Scott Arndt and he will not
help solve a safety related issue affecting my family? Who is Scott's boss? Who hold's him accountable, as this is surely not a
one -man -show, like a dictatorship. The Board did not respond to my 6/24/24 email either. Not one member. I know you
probably think this is ok, but I assure you it is far from ok. The Mayor/Board chair did not respond to me for 182 days. Is this
how things are ran here in Kodiak? Surely we can do better. There has to be some accountability within our local government.
The appropriate Road Service Area (RSA) Board will determine whether the type of warning sign requested is
necessary. Special request signs must meet the criteria and will be subject to the discretion of the
Engineering/Facilities Director.
