Item 1. Chairman Arndt call the meeting order at 7:40 p.m.
in the Borough Assembly Chambers Conference Room with the
following members present:
Scott Arndt Okey Chandler Jim Fisk
Gordon Gould Tony Perez Martha Randolph
Earl Smith
Staff Present: Dave Crowe and Dan Millard
Others Present: Jim and Betty Epperson
Chairman Arndt asked if there were any audience comments.
Jim Epperson owner of Lot 21, Block 7, Monashka Bay
Subdivision said that his grinder pump did not work because
of its elevation in relation to the sewer line. Epperson
said that the liquids were siphoning off so the solids were
not being ground and transported to the main line. He
requested that something be done about it.
The Board agreed that it is the Service Districts
responsibility to turn over, to property owners a working
system. Since Epperson's pump has never worked properly, a
number of alternative solutions were discussed including_ a
loop which will prevent the siphoning and be the least
expensive.
Motion: Gould moved to authorize staff to install a loop
granting Epperson the relief requested. If the loop does
not work staff will develop alternative solutions with cost
for presentation to the Board. Seconded by Perez.
Vote on the motion: Aye, unanimous.

Item 4. Appeal of Borough Engineer decision of denial of
sewer service to Lot 8, Tract A, USS 1682, Woodland Acres
First Addition. Andris Ozols, owner. Scott Arndt,
appellant. Arndt removed himself from the Board, and
requested relief from the Engineer`s decision in the form of
accepting the sewer clean out as installed and provide sewer
service to Lot 8.
Discussion: At issue in this appeal is the Engineer's
administrative policy that all sewer lines connecting to the
main sewer line have a clean out at the property line. The
purpose of this clean out is to allow the maintenance of the
sewer line at the point it connects to the main. In this
case the property line is located at the bottom of the
drainage ditch. Inspector Millard made a decision, because
of the location of the property line, that the clean out
could be located at the top of the ditch approximately 10
feet onto Lot 8.

"Arndt was verbally informed by Millard of the approved
location of the clean out. Arndt refused to install this
clean out, and installed a clean out at the junction box
containing electrical and TV approximately 102 feet from the
property line on Lot B. Arndt's reason for doing so was
that when Millard approved the clean out location on Lot 8
then anywhere on Lot 8 was OK and would allow for a future
driveway location."
Motion: Gould moved to grant the relief requested and
accept the sewer clean out installation as installed.
Seconded by Chandler.
Vote: After further discussion, Chairman Fisk called for a
voice vote on the motion. Ayes, three. Nos, three. Arndt
stepped down. Motion failed on a tie vote.
Secretary's note on the above appeal: These comments were
not stated at the meeting, but are included here in order tc
clarify appeals from a decision of the Borough Engineer or
his authorized representative. Kodiak Island Borough Code
(KIBC) 13.04.030 states the following: "A decision of the
borough engineer or his authorized representative .... is
final unless appealed to the borough mayor within ten days
of the mailing of notice of the decision...." Therefore,
in the absence of procedures adopted by the mayor and board,
and approved by the assembly in accordance with KIBC
4.20.020(D), the board has no authority to hear and decide
on appeals of decisions made by the borough engineer. In
the above case the appellant was acting on the advice of
Inspector Millard in his November b, 1987 letter of denial
of services. It is recommended that the appellant take his
appeal to the mayor in accordance with KIBC 13.04.030.
