The Service District No. 1. Advisory Board met at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, April 9, 1984
in the Borough Assembly Chambers with the following members present: Scott Arndt,
Jim Poulos, Pat Szabo, Norm Wooten and Ed Van Fleet. Baine Cater and Carolyn Brisco
were absent. Also in attendance were Al Burch, Ed Flerchinger, Alma Jackson, Dan
Millard, Jim Lassen, Tom Boyer, Duane A. Peterson, Nis Drogh, Asa Beehler, Art Bors,
Karen White, Michelle Andrews, Don Arndt, Bruce Beehler, Phil Shealy, Dave Crowe and
Stu Turner.
Chairman Arndt declared a quorum present and introduced Stu Turner of URS who con-
ducted a public hearing on proposed utility improvements near Mission Road. The
following comments were made including a request for a culvert on Anderson Way only
if Ed Flerchinger and Al Burch agreed; agreed to deadend the lines on Anderson Way
and Metrokin Way; agreed to try to obtain voluntary easements on Anderson Way and if
this is not possible move the utility lines; combine the six-inch service with the
eight -inch service on Anderson Way. After further discussion the plans presented by
Stu Turner were approved by the Service District with the above indicated changes.
Discussion then centered around the award of the bid for Project 82-2 Water and Sewer
Improvements (backside of Island Lake). Dave Crowe discussed the problem with the
apparent low bidder of unbalancing their bid. 'He further reported that Hollander had
agreed to several conditions recommended by URS and the Borough Engineer and the
staff recommended awarding the project to the low bidder based on two conditions
related to the unbalanced bid. After further discussion Pat Szabo moved to recommend
adoption of Resolution No. 84-38-R awarding the contract for construction of Project
82-2 to Hollander Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $2,153,715 with two
conditions recommended by the Borough Engineer. Motion seconded by Jim Poulos and
unanimously approved.
Mr. Leroy Blondin then presented his case objecting to the bill for repair of services
on February 20, 1984 in the amount of $634.96. After considerable discussion Pat
Szabo noted that this action was consistent with past practices and moved to uphold
the validity of the bill in the amount of $634.96 because the break was on the property
owner's side of the valve. Motion seconded by Ed Van Fleet and unanimously approved.
In other business Chairman Arndt summarized Art Bors's proposal to install sewer at
his cost along Rezanof for his commercial development in that area. Mr. Arndt noted
that the Borough attorney had been requested for an opinion as to whether or not the
state grant monies may be used to reimburse a private developer in accordance with
Mr. Bors's proposed agreements. Mr. Arndt noted that the sewer design for this area
would be presented at a Service District public hearing tentatively scheduled for
May 7th and suggested that no action should be taken by the Board until the attorney's
opinion and the design is presented. After further discussion Pat Szabo moved to
table the matter until the next meeting. Motion seconded by Ed Van Fleet and
unanimously approved.
In other business, the Service District accepted the resignation of Carolyn Brisco
with regret.
There being no further business, the fleeting adjourned at 11:00 p.m.
