Chair Report:
1-
Complaintsfrom constituents:
Tuck- 11746 Bells Flats Road- complained of grader damage
to Road near her driveway, will investigate.
Ausman- wants to know when we intend to move culvert on
Womens Bay Drive. Advised her that although we
had planned to move on it ASAP, we have been ad-
vised by the Borough Engineer that not only is
the project cost prohibitive as planned,but that
moving the culvert would fly in the face of the
natural drainage. Ms. Ausman was advised of this
by the Chairman,
2-
Chairman complained to Contractor about quality of Road
Grading, specifically the poor work done by Don Lawhead.
3-
Brushing- although we first requested action in the Spring,
Brechan Enterprizes has just recently decided to move on
it, now that the leaves are down. The contractor was given
a map with areas to be brushed marked clearly, in early
Summer, but now can't find it and wants the roads flagged
for brushing. We decided to flag the main drag on both
sides of the river as a test run. Price quoted is $82/hr
for two men, a pickup and chainsaws.
4-
Dredging job on pond at Firehouse was successful, and
should provide a dependable source of water year round.
The material dredged out was used to build up a founda-
tion pad for future expansion of the Firehouse.
5-
Mutual aid agreement now in force. This covers only the
Coast Guard Base and Bayside. The City of Kodiak refused
to discuss the idea, but our Fire Dept. feels that they
are no loss to us.
6-
Fire Department training is adding a Saturday morning
class again, 10:00 to noon. The Board was also forewarned
that it will shortly become necessary to hire professional
instructors to maintain certification of our volunteers.
Cost estimates will be forthcoming from Chief Gondek.
7-
Board members should encourage neighbors to conform to
Borough regs on house Vs and their placement.
8-
Requested General Fund Balance- $69,000.00
9-
Changes in Contract for Road Maintenance: this led to
general discussion on our repeated failure to get a
Contractor who will do what we want, when we want it.
We discussed, again, the possibility of buying our own
grader, and hiring a man to operate/maintain it. This
would cover the major needs of the Road Service. If
we could rent a backhoe or caterpiller when we needed
them, we would be covered. Chairman will start looking
into .
1- Can we legally buy and operate machinery?
2- Can we have an employee?
3- Estimates on Grader cost and projected cost
of maintenance.
