III. Chairman Blackett opened the meeting. A quorum of three members of the Board
was present. In the absence of the Secretary, Jeff Hamer took the minutes. Minutes
of the October 27, 1993 meeting and the agenda for the current meeting were
approved unanimously without addition or deletion.
IV. No guests were present and there was no public comment. The meeting was then
opened for Public Hearing on the proposed work program and budget for FY '95. No
members of the public were present. The meeting was then re- opened for old
business.
V. Under old business, Chairman Blackett presented status of road maintenance and the
budget. Major road failure on Marmot Drive cost $2,795 to rebuild a section of road
in January. This cost is offset by only having to plow snow from the roads one time
so far this winter. To date, budget expenses have been $7,221, cash balance of
$42,225, taxes receivable of $2,029, and asset total of $44,253. Chairman Blackett
then reported on the question of liability insurance for Board members. Coverage is
provided under Borough insurance. The coverage limit is $2,000,000 per claim. The
Service District is charged $77 /mile /year for this coverage. Status of the accounting
fee charges were then discussed by Chairman Blackett. The 3% accounting fee will
become effective with the new budget July 1, 1994. Funds taken out by accounting
previously have been reinstated in the budget for this year. Also, interest on the
account balance at the rate of 3% will be credited to the budget monthly effective
July 1, 1994.

VI. Under new business, a motion was made by Jeff Hamer, seconded by Mark Withrow,
and passed unanimously to reduce the road service tax levy in 1994 from 2.0 mills to
1.5 mills per year. This motion is prompted by reserve funds in the budget that are
expected to exceed $30,000 by July 1 (current reserves of $26,044), and actual
expenses per year for road services being substantially less than the $24,800
budgeted in recent years. A work program and budget for FY '95 was then adopted
by the Board as proposed by Chairman Blackett -- a budget of $17,250 in tax
revenues (plus estimated state share of $2,000) based on 1.5 mill tax levy and $11.5
million property valuation within the District.
Finally, the next business meeting was scheduled for April 27, 1994 at 7:00 p.m.,
Bayside Firehouse.
VII. Board comments concerned a driveway on Forest Drive that lacks an adequate
culvert and is causing washout of the road during heavy rain and unsafe ice glaciers
on the road in winter. Chairman Blackett will research this problem with Borough
engineering staff on the best way to resolve the problem. Jeff Hamer and Mark
Withrow expressed support again for extending the bike /jogging trail along Rezanof
to Marmot Drive. Roger Blackett supports the extension also, but would like to see
it combined with a water main and fire hydrants along the same route. Fire hydrants
and water lines presently exist at both ends (landfill and VFW - -- Fort Abercrombie
road).
VIII. The meeting was adjourned at 7:43 p.m.
