Call to Order and Roll Call The meeting was called to order at 7:44 p.m. in the Borough Conference Room by Scott Arndt, Acting Chairman. Members Present Scott Arndt Okey Chandler Tony Perez Martha Randolph Earl Smith Boroueh Staff Present Members Absent Jim Fisk Gordon Gould David C. Crowe, Borough Engineer Daniel P. Millard, Construction Inspector Ann M. Moen, Secretary A quorum of the Board was determined to be present. Also present was Mr. Robert Brooks, a resident of Service District No. 1, who had received a letter May 24 concerning his failure to hook up to the new sewer system (hook-up deadline September 30, 1986), and giving him 30 days from receipt of the letter to hook into the new system. Mr. Brooks stated that he is moving off the premises (Sublot 4, Lot 21, U. S. Survey 3099), and asked the Board for 90 days to move equipment off the property and complete the hook-up. Following a brief discussion, Mr. Perez moved, and Ms. Randolph seconded the motion, to grant Mr. Brooks a 90-day extension from today to complete his sewer service hook-ups. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote. 2. Approval of Minutes, May 3, 1988 Meeting The minutes of this meeting were not available. 3. Recommendation for Award, Sewer and Water Maintenance Contract Mr. Arndt reveiwed the main points of the proposals received from Brechan Enterprises, Inc. and Island Sand and Gravel, Inc., pointing out that Brechan's bid for the 580 Backhoe was $66, compared with Island Sand and Gravel's $85 an hour; Brechan's charge for a Laborer was $39, compared with IS&G's $38 an hour. In reply to Mr. Chandler's question of which proposal would be cheaper, Mr. Arndt KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH SERVICE DISTRICT NO. 1 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS June 7, 1988 Minutes - Page 2 replied that Brechan's would be. Mr. Perez moved, and Mr. Smith seconded the motion, that the Board recommend to the Borough Assembly the award of the water and sewer maintenance contract to Brechan Enterprises, Inc. for the period July 1, 1988 through June 30, 1989. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote. 4. Status, Project No. 86-2 4(a) Lot 4, U. S. Survey 3099: Mr. Crowe presented an aerial photo showing the area of properties owned by Jim Lassen, Tommy Boyer, Tennie Riley, Shari Wick, and Iris Brooks. One dwelling is vacant. There is no problem with sewer, but there is with water. Mr. Millard remarked that Wick's warehouse is plumbed. Mr. Crowe expressed no concern about this since it has access to sewer. Mr. Millard stated that the Lassen residence is hooked up separately. Mr. Crowe suggested the possibility of a neighborhood meeting for this area. Mr. Arndt reminded the Board that at last month's meeting, during the discussion of the Chandler/Steelman problem, the Board had asked that any other problem areas be identified. 4(b) Norm Sutliff/Jackson's Mobile Home Park: Mr. Crowe stated that the other problem area includes Norm Sutliff's three lots, apparently landlocked, and Jackson's Mobile Home Park. He suggested that a grinder pump would be a logical installation to alleviate the problem. Jackson's, in a letter dated June 3, says easements will be provided if the Borough accepts maintenance responsibility for all water and sewer mains in the court, and pays $80,000. This Sutliff tract is the one remaining parcel other than Sprucehaven without sewer service available to occupied property. A discussion followed about pollution of Mission Lake. A discussion followed about maintenance of the new D-1 line installed five years ago by Island Sand and Gravel, Inc. Mr. Perez suggested that the Board forget about the Norm Sutliff properties at the present time, and discuss alternate routes. Mr. Crowe discussed Sprucehaven, stating that Dr. Bob Johnson had sold or conveyed portions of Sprucehaven to his children and to Mr. Donald Zimmerman during 1976-78 by metes and bounds descriptions, without platting as required by both state law and Borough code. In response to a question, Mr. Crowe replied that the Borough bills Jackson's for water on the basis of the number of units served, and suggested that a pro -rated, negotiated settlement for use of Jackson's sewer by Mr. Sutliff on the same basis would be the only practical method of billing. KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH SERVICE DISTRICT NO. 1 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS June 7, 1988 Minutes - Page 3 Mr. Perez recalled that, regarding Sutliff's 11-plus acres, at the sale of that land the BLM man said there would be access to the property by deed. Mr. Crowe said he would try to meet with Alma Jackson to discuss providing service. He asked for Board authorization for a survey to determine possible means to provide sewer service to those occupied properties in the area without access to sewer service — including Magnussens', the Boyer area, and Sutliff's. There is a leak by Poulos' — or is it groundwater? A determination needs to be made. Ms. Randolph moved, and Mr. Perez seconded the motion, that staff be authorized to provide surveys to design extensions to the water and sewer project(s) and services in this area. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote. 5. Status, Project No. 85-3(A) Mr. Millard reported that the contractor is now paving the approach of Antone Way/ Rezanof Drive East. 6. Hook-up Deadlines 6(A) Project No. 85-3(A): [As corrected September 13, 19881 Mr. Millard reported the following: Paul Hansen - has not hooked up to either sewer or water; Sharon Miller - granted two-year extension by Board; Mrs. Deater - may need extension. House is to come down. Has not hooked up to sewer; Jim Peterson - has hooked up; Jay Rasumssen - has not hooked up to either sewer or water; Church/Ray Boutwell - sewer is not hooked up yet; Dr. Louis Wagner - has hooked up; Jose Bravo - has water; needs to tie in to new system and sewer. 6(B) Jose Bravo, Lot 2, Crestview Subdivision: Mr. Crowe reported that staff thought this property was hooked up. Excavation for the addition to the Kodiak Bible Chapel showed that Ray Nordgulen and Jose Bravo had not hooked up to the new system two years ago. Mr. Millard said that the existing 3/4-inch polyvinyl line is currently leaking. Staff sent a letter to Mr. Bravo February 9, requiring conversion to the specified copper line no later than May 31, 1988, but the Bravos meanwhile had returned to Chignik. Ms. Randolph moved, and Mr. Perez seconded the motion, that Mr. Bravo be granted an extension to September 30, 1988 to complete the required installation, and that if he hasn't completed it by that time, the matter be turned over to the Borough Attorney. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote. KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH SERVICE DISTRICT NO, 1 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS June 7, 1988 Minutes - Page 4 Staff was instructed to send the letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, to both Mr. Bravo's local address and to Chignik. 7. Request for Proposals, Service District No. 1 Shop Building Materials Mr. Arndt stated that Spenard's proposal is cheaper than his, at $424.56 (compared to $433.30). Ms. Randolph moved, and Mr. Perez seconded the motion, that the shop building materials be purchased from Spenard Building Supply. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote. 8. Hazardous Atmosphere Monitors Mr. Millard explained that the City of Kodiak (Jim Berg) has a similar (compatible) model to the staff -recommended HMX271 which we can use for back-up. This model is used by Arco at Prudhoe Bay, and stands up to the cold even though it is a liquid crystal display monitor. Staff recommends that the Board authorize the purchase of the Industrial Scientific Corporation Model HMX271 Three -Range Monitor at $1,687, without the calibration kit (which the City has). Mr. Smith moved, and Mr. Perez seconded the motion, that the HMX271 Monitor be purchased for the amount of $1,687t. Mr. Arndt, Mr. Perez, Ms. Randolph, and Mr. Smith voted "aye," and Mr. Chandler voted "nay." The motion passed. 9. Other Business/Comments Mr. Millard stated that sewer lines in the Island Lake Subdivision area need to be cleaned out. Gravel and debris need flushing out. This should be done in July or August, and will keep a two -man crew busy for approximately a week. This is the line from Shahafka Acres -Dark Lake -Island Lake (Creek) -Bible Chapel. Also the Project 82-3 Spruce Cape line has a accumulation of gravel and debris. He estimates the cost at approximately $4,000. There is $5,137 in the Maintenance/ Repairs account, less about $2,000 in payables which Mr. Arndt authorized today. Mr. Arndt stated that this comes under "Maintenance" and no motion is necessary. Staff is authorized to proceed with the necessary maintenance. Mr. Millard reported that the City "Honeywagon" is looking for a dumping place. Mr. Crowe reported that this problem is the City's, and has been resolved. (All Service District No. 1 manholes are buried except at Bayside.) The Board, by unanimous consent, acknowledged receipt of the information without taking any action beyond suggesting that the City can use one of its own manholes. Ms. Randolph inquired if anyone has heard anything about dogs being shot by plastic or nylon bullets in the Borough. Hers apparently was. 10.
