Public Comments:
Jamie Godwin is putting up a new house on Island Circle and advised us of foundation
work to be done in the next two weeks and then it will sit until Spring. She asked about
any planned improvement to the cul-de-sac and if the tree there is to be removed And
she would like us to take a look at how a culvert would fit in her and Dayton's driveways.
Patrick O'Donnell- wanted to know if the dumpster is always going to be placed where it
is. And could some "no parking" signs be put up around there? And he needs to know if
calling Darlene is more appropriate in times when roads need attention.
Elizabeth O'Donnell- asked about the drainage across the street. And wants to know
about our new contractor. Also, she stated that they plan on taking down their greenhouse
to allow more drainage that way.
Jeremy Counceller - can see their concern for drainage on Mt. View. He believes that
water is running off his neighbor's driveway and missing their ditch. Also he agrees that
the ditch on Mt. View really needs to be reworked.
April Counceller - would prefer the grade of Mt. View to be toward the hill side and not
sending the water across the road. And also, she believes a culvert isn't necessary on their
drive because of the natural drainage in their backyard. It appears to be a real steep "head
waters" to the creek that passes across Monashka. If some heavy rocks could be placed to
help stop the eroding of the road between their house and the O'Donnell's, it would give
the water an easier route. She pointed out that many people park: in their driveway at the
bottom when they can't get up the road. And there is an old well in the right-of-way that
they are looking into tapping.
Old Business:
a. O'Donnell property fence on Mt. View Drive - the fence is in the road right-of-way
and not permitted. It could interfere with snow removal and road work. Patty appreciated
the invite to the meeting and stated that he has lived there for the last 10 years. He has

seen enough hazardous driving and was concerned for his children - especially during icy
conditions. He doesn't believe that the snow ever piles up along the fence because they
have a cul-de-sac on one side and a steep embankment on the other side. His wife,
Elizabeth and "Patty," himself agreed that the fence is in the right-of-way and they would
move it if need be. Also, they said if the contractors or anyone else were to damage their
fence, they would not hold them liable. The Board showed desires to work with them.
They offered to walk the land with them this week. The O'Donnells offered, but the
Board does not believe that this agreement needs to be in writing.
b. Road Improvements - Marmot issues are part of the five year plan to bring it up to
code. Before the top and fill are to be done, ditch and culvert need desperate attention. As
the Engineer agreed, we need to give the water somewhere to go. Two years ago the mil
rate was raised to pay for this plan and to build a reserve. So far this summer, Monashka
and Marmot have had some ditching and culverts put in and replaced due to previous
damage. Also Davisons' driveway was re-banked with fill and heavy rock. Mud's sink
hole on Marmot was filled and re-ditched. We plan to rework Marmot Rd and hopefully
crown the upper part before winter. Three Sister's and Monashka Way got several signs
put up. And to avoid the catastrophe from last winter, the Foy's on Devil's Prong will be
getting a more adequate culvert installed. Also fill is planned for the top of Three Sister's
and the bottom where it has been washed and scrapped away. Mt. View is scheduled to
be ditched tomorrow and drainage issues there still need to be addressed this year.
c. Pond development- The committee of the Pond had the State take a look at it. After
seeing it, they said that they can't do anything about it. They recommended that we pull
the trash out and drain it for some time. This is a huge deal in our Road Service District.
If there are any more suggestions or avenues, we are open to them.
New Business:
a. Damage to Marmot Drive guard rail - Earlier this month someone collided with the
end of the new guard rail on Marmot. This knocked loose six up-rights and tweaked two
sections of the raiL We did fwd plastic pieces and chips of blue paint. So far we have no
leads and are asking for further info. Including, how much it is going to cost to fix this?
We have gotten compliments on being proactive when we put these end this year.
b. Adding fill and crowning roads - Marmot is now below the bed rock and into the
stwnps. And the bottom of Three Sister's, as it stands, can't take another winter like the
last one without raising it up. So, if funds and weather hold out, both shall be getting
some fill and hopefully crowned.
c. Mail box plowing and sanding - The MBRSD has agreed to help keep the snow clear
and sand on state land where the mail boxes reside. Otherwise, MBRSD in not involved
with the mail boxes whatsoever. The Board is being asked to redirect these questions to
the Mail Box committee.

Board Comments:
Randy Spivey asked about getting dust control product spread on the roads after they are
crowned. He believes it to be non-toxic and knows of it being in town.
Dave Sundberg wants to thank every for their attendance. And he doesn't plan on running
for his seat in the upcoming elections. Also, he speaks highly of our contractor and says
he is capable of doing excellent work.
Drew DeVries appreciates everyone showing up. And wants to know what has happened
with Ordinance No. 98-06 and our dump's "green belt." Also he thinks that the coming
Spring we should take steps in putting Marmot on the CIP list. He wants to thank Dave
for his time and commitment. We will miss the talents and calm attitude that Dave has
brought to the table.
Darlene Turner wanted to thank everyone and welcomed Jamie to the neighborhood. This
is the time where we are crunching to get thing done and buttoned up. As is, we can't
handle the water damage we had last fiscal year. She warns to be careful of bears in the
neighborhood.
