OLD BUSINESS
Wilton White Way
Kevin Arndt stated that Wilton White Way has a right-of-way road easement that encroaches on two
flag stems, (the area also includes a hydrant). Kevin Arndt stated that the question is, should the Service
District be maintaining private property?
Ed Mahoney asked Tony Perez if there was a reason why a cul-de-sac was not on both ends of Wilton
White Way, Tony Perez answered that it was designed for the convience of the individuals purchasing
the lots (so that lots could be combined). Ed Mahoney asked Tony Perez if a cul-de-sac would have
been put in, would he have lost a lot? Tony Perez answered "yes." Ed Mahoney stated that the
taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for maintaining private roads. Tony Perez stated that if the Service
District decided against maintaining this portion of Wilton White Way then when the lots are sold the
buyers would be made aware that they will be maintaining the private portion of this road.
Scott Arndt stated that Wilton White Way meets Borough road standards and therefore he does not have
a problem with Service District #1 maintaining it. Ed Mahoney felt if the Service District agreed to
maintain this private property it would set a precedence for future issues such as this. Ed Mahoney also
stated that if there were a cul-de-sac, there wouldn't be an issue regarding the maintenance of this road.
Ed Mahoney felt that Tony Perez benefited considerably by not adding an additional cul-de-sac and that
the maintenance of the easement should be the responsibility of the individuals who purchase the lots.
Scott Arndt stated that realistically, the grader operator most likely won't know where the road stops and
the easement starts so the grading will be done regardless of any decision that the Service District
makes.
Eric Kocurek complimented Tony Perez for building his subdivision to meet Borough road standards.
Scott Arndt moved to approve the maintenance of the easement at the end of Wilton White Way. Eric
Kocurek seconded.
Vote on motion to maintain easement on Wilton White Way:
Ayes: Robert Greene, Scott Arndt
Noes: Eric Kocurek, Kevin Arndt, Ed Mahoney, Jennifer Spencer
Motion failed 4-2.
Dl/Sanding
Kevin Arndt stated that he would have a report regarding the D 1 issue by the next scheduled Board
meeting.
Eric Kocurek stressed the importance of getting an agreement from Brechan stating the appropriate rates
they will be charging for their products and services.
Scott Arndt was concerned about the length of time it's taking to get the invoice issue with A — K
Construction and Brechan resolved. He felt action should be taken as soon as possible.
NEW BUSINESS
Budget Review
Kevin Arndt stated that the Service District #1 mill rate would remain the same as last year at .75 mills.
Kevin Arndt announced the 1999 fiscal year budget for Service District #1. Scott Arndt moved to adopt
the proposed budget for the 1999 fiscal year. Eric Kocurek seconded.
Kevin Arndt asked if there was public comment on the announced budget. Robin Heinrichs asked if the
enrollment issue would effect this year's budget. Kevin Arndt answered yes. Robin Heinrichs then
asked how would the Service District know how much money they will have to spend if they do not
know what the enrollment will be in the Service District. Eric Kocurek explained that the worse case
scenario (a loss of 40%) has been incorporated into the proposed budget.
Kevin Arndt stated that a memo be drafted to Jerome Selby regarding notifying the residents of Service
District #1 of who is taxable and who is exempt.
Motion to adopt the 1999 fiscal year budget:
Ayes: Eric Kocurek, Kevin Arndt, Ed Mahoney, Robert Greene, Scott Arndt, Jennifer Spencer
Noes: None
Motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Scott Arndt moved to have a request sent to Jerome Selby asking the Borough to send a notice to all
property owners within Service District #1 notifying them of the status of their property, whether it is in
the Service District and will be taxed or out of the Service District and will not be taxed and that the
determination is appealable to the Assembly. Eric Kocurek seconded.

Noes: None
Motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
Proposed Subdivision
Kevin Arndt reported that the Community Development Department forwarded information on the
Shoreline Subdivision (developer, Robin Heinrichs) for Service District #1 Board members review. The
Board reviewed a map of the subdivision. Case 598-005. Preliminary approval of the vacation of Lots
1F & 1K, U.S. Survey 3462, creating Lots 14, Shoreline Subdivision. A waiver from Section 16.80.030
A (Minimum right-of-way and trafficway widths) of the Borough Code, to allow an existing platted 20
foot wide right-of-way/access easement, and dedication of an additional ten feet (10') of access
easement, to serve as access for the proposed lots, rather than the required 60 feet. Robin Heinrichs
gave an orientation of his subdivision.
Eric Kocurek clarified that the reason this plat is before the Service District #1 Board is because Robin
Heinrichs is adding 10' of access easement to the existing 20' right-of-way access easement for a total
of 30' keeping in mind the normal requirement is 60'.
Ed Mahoney made a motion that there was no Board objection. Eric Kocurek seconded.
Vote on motion:
Ayes: Eric Kocurek, Kevin Arndt, Ed Mahoney, Robert Greene, Scott Arndt, Jennifer Spencer
Noes: None
Motion passes by unanimous voice vote.
BOARD COMMENTS
Eric Kocurek commented on the Wilton White Way easement maintainenane issue and felt the
developer did an excellent job in developing the subdivision at Borough standards.
Kevin Arndt set the next Service District #1 meeting for Tuesday, April 21, 1998.
