Fisk, the motion carried.

IX. ITEMS OF INFORMATION & BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
Questions were asked about the notice to the residents of
Jackson's Trailer Court. The board felt they should have been
notified of this problem earlier in the sequence of events. They
wondered if the wording of the notice had been cleared with the
lawyer. They felt they should have been given details in case
residents start calling them.
MR SMITH - Noted that the Fairbanks - North Star Borough Service
Districts have a cap on their mil rate. He felt that might be
appropriate here.
MR FISK - Noted in his travels about the state that when asked how to
handle the revenue shortfall people are responding: government
will do what it will do and why should they get involved?
MR LORENSON - Asked what the minimum ditch depth is? He was concerned
about the Carroll Way ditch near his parents property.
