Agenda Items Not Scheduled For Public Hearing Scott Arndt, Service District No. 1 boardmember, spoke to Resolution 92 -38 in that he felt the easement should be purchased with Borough land sale funds. He contended that the Borough owned the right -of -way and that the service districts were responsible only for maintenance of the roads. In response to Assemblymember Milligan's statement that the Borough did not have road powers, Mr. Arndt stated that the roads outside the city limits were deeded to the Borough at the time of subdivision. When Mayor Selby was asked if there was a precedent, he replied that it was determined on a case by case basis. He added that the Borough attorney was quite clear that land sale funds should not be used for local roads. He pointed out that the Borough was not buying land, just an easement. Assemblymember Gould initiated discussion with Mr. Arndt on roads in service districts. Assemblymember Gould explained that the Borough owned the roads but if the residents wanted maintenance of the roads, service districts were formed. Mayor Selby reaffirmed that the Borough had no road powers. Assemblymember Fitzjearl was under the impression that the Borough subdivided the property and built the road prior to the formation of Service District No. 1. nn the AnnnAm 0. 1l.cmo.
