WITHOUT OBJECTION, SO ORDERED CITIZEN'S COMMENTS CITIZEN'S COMMENTS The mayor presented a certificate of commendation and a check for $75.00 to Mr. William H. Roberts of the Assessing Department as recipient of the first Kodiak Island Borough Employee of the Month award. Bill Roberts introduced the Chiniak Community Forum to the assem- bly. He said the community of Chiniak had decided to organize a community group which would be recognized by the state. He said the main reason for organization was for representation of Chiniak area with one voice in any matters regarding the future development of Chiniak. The group would like to get the Chiniak Comprehensive Plan in shape and to the assembly for approval so the assembly would have some guidelines. COMMITTEE REPORTS COMMITTEE REPORTS Scott Arndt, Service District #1 Chairman, spoke regarding the bid award contract to the URS Company for development of standard specifications for water, sewer and storm drainage. He read a letter from the Service District #1 Board stating that if the proposal was to be funded from Service District #1 operating funds, that they wished to withdraw their support. (Copy of let- ter on file in the Clerk's office). He said the proposal should be funded from the fund balance of the borough. Mr. Arndt asked if the matter of the one million dollars of Ser- vice District #1 grant money that was invested with the Lion Capital Group for two years had been researched. He felt the Service District should not lose the interest earnings on this money for this period of time. Mary Lou Knudsen stated that she was representing the Planning and Zoning Commission this evening and would answer any questions that might arise. PUBLIC HEARINGS -7:30 p.m. (Village phone number 486-5735) PUBLIC HEARINGS The presiding officer called for the public hearing portion of the meeting. He was reminded that the public hearing portion was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and it was only 7:00 p.m. The presiding officer then asked for a motion to recess until 7:30 p.m. BARKER, moved to recess the assembly meeting until 7:30 p.m. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND 2 36 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting April 3, 1986 F Assemblyman Austerman said there was no reason not to proceed with the public hearings as there was nothing contro- versial in the issues. A discussion ensued amongst the assembly members and it was decided to proceed with the public hearings. A. Resolution No. 86-31-R Acquiring Industrial Land at Womens Bay for the Specific Purpose of Encouraging Development of the Kodiak Intl. Shipworks. NAUGHTON, seconded by BARKER moved to adopt Resolution No. 86-31-R. The presiding officer called for public testimony. Okey Chandler said that several years ago when fishing was at a high point there had been a ship repair service in the area and it had failed. He stated that the owners of larger boats took them to Seattle to be repair where needed services were available and cost less. He felt the Native Association should lease the land to the shipworks and the Borough should stay out of it. Bob Brodie, Kodiak City Council member, read a statement from the Kodiak City Council (copy is on file in the borough clerk's of- fice) and asked that it be taken into consideration during the assembly's deliberations. The statement listed the improvements that either have been or will be made to the facilities at Pier 3 and their cost. The council was concerned that the ship repair facility might be supplemented with a cargo handling facility thereby causing competition to the port of Kodiak. Walter Johnson requested that more copies of the resolution be made so everyone in the audience could have a copy to review. BARKER, seconded by NAUGHTON moved to recess the meeting for ten minutes. MOTION CARRIED Unanimous voice vote The presiding officer reconvened the public hearing. Tom Sweeney spoke for the ship repair project and gave the fol- lowing reasons for supporting it. He felt it would create more jobs and also bring funds back into Kodiak that were presently going to other areas of Alaska and Seattle. He stated that in order to obtain insurance, boats were required to be hauled out for inspection once a year. He stated that you couldn't run a limit seiner to Seattle and back for less than $10,000-$12,000 in fuel costs, etc. He felt that if there was a facility in Kodiak this money might be spent locally. He said that Kodiak needed a year -around industry to give the area a stable economy. He felt a ship repair facility would enhance the fishing community. Chuck Winegarden, a representative for Fire Technology, spoke for the project and stated his company had submitted a letter of intent to utilize the facility. He said his company would create new jobs because there was not a service similar to his in the area at this time. He said his company was the number one sup- plier of Halon (a gas that is used to inert fires) in the state. He said that boats require fire protection and need a rigorous schedule of service. He said that contrary to popular belief fire protection is labor intensive. Also, speaking as a Kodiak Electric Association Director, he stated that the facility would use more power from the Terror Lake project resulting in a cheaper cost of electricity for everyone. Dennis Johnson spoke in favor of the ship yard. He questioned how the loan or investment would be paid off within a reasonable amount of time. Nick Troxell, local fisherman, spoke against public funds being used for the ship yard facility. He said that the local busi- nessmen he had talked to stated they would have to increase their PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) RESOLUTION No. 86-31-R 3 31 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting April 3, 1986 charges by twenty percent to cover their rental costs if they RESOLUTION moved to the facility. He thought the rates for services charged NO. 86-31-R vessels would have to be less than Seattle rates to entice them to (continued) utilize a local facility. He said if the need is here, then private enterprise should put the money up and get into business themselves. Scott Arndt questioned the viability of the project. He said that typically an economic development authority is voted in by the voters to determine the financial viability of a project. I JLorna Arndt asked why the project had been kept so hush-hush from the public. She said that she did not support the borough pur- chasing land. She thought Koniag should lease the land for the facility. Dick Thwaites spoke for the project. He said that they have tried to get out as much information concerning the project as they could. He stated the projections used were based on the same prices as used in Seattle at the present time with no dif- ferential for any offset in the Kodiak area. He stated that Koniag is only interested in selling the land and will not lease it. He said the financial lenders have required them to provide certain degrees of proof that there are fishing vessels to sup- port the project, and to provide a showing of interest from the basic businesses in the area as well as the community. He said the lenders were looking for a demonstration that a marine mall concept which will attach fishing and cargo vessels into this area can be put together. He felt there was going to be a change in the fishing industry to become more sophisticated and competi- tive. He said that he had with him a list of 67 vessels whose owners had signed letters of intent and had been told there were 50 letters of intent from vessels in the Seattle area that were not in his possession at this time. Dennis Murray stated that he supported development which created jobs and economic growth for the community. He said his concern was whether government should be in the middle of a viable project. He said when government becomes involved than there are a lot of competing interests. He felt that government's job was to create a competitive environment. He noted philosophically there was a reverse question here with the borough purchasing land rather than trying to get it into private ownership. Wallace Johnson suggested that a task force comprised of experi- enced businessmen and fisherman be set up as a loan review committee. Wilton White stated that he respected the effort of the people who are attempting to put this facility in Kodiak and supported the general concept of creating jobs and new industry. He said that when the Kodiak Island Borough gets into the banking busi- ness and uses public funds to provide a facility, then more thought should be given to the type of loan and how the public interest will be protected. He felt the liability for the cost of the project was being transferred from the Lash Corporation and Konaig Corporation to the Kodiak Island Borough. He pointed out that the city of Seward may close down part of their indus- trial complex for lack of a contractor to operate it and operate the ship yard themselves. Mr. White gave a brief history of past ship yard facilities in Kodiak that couldn't make a success of their businesses. He pointed out that Womens Bay where the pro- posed facilities will be located is not always as free of ice as it has been in the past few years. He questioned whether the Coast Guard was amiable to a large industrial complex in their proximity. Kathie Kurney, Koniag representative, spoke in support of the project. She stated that Koniag had been in negotiations with the Kodiak International Shipworks for over a year and had con- sidered leasing the land to them. However, she said that because 4 M Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting April 3, 1986 of financial obligations incurred by Koniag in previous years they were not in a position to lease the land and must sell it Royal Large asked if the ship yard facilities was locked into Womens Bay or whether some other area could be acquired at a lower price. The presiding officer closed the public hearing and reconvened the assembly. GREGG, moved to table Resolution No. 86-31-R. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND Further discussion ensued amongst the assemblymembers. seconded by GREGG VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND Ayes: Noes: MOTION FAILED GREGG, seconded by AUSTERMAN moved to amend by deleting Condition No. 2 - Revenue to the land sale fund shall be used to pay off the revenue bonds.

The presiding officer asked Dick Thwaites to comment on the amendment. Dick Thwaites, attorney for the Kodiak International Shipworks, said that as a group they would have no objections to providing the material as long as it did not become part of a public record available to anyone who came in without justification to the assembly.

MESSAGES FROM THE BOROUGH MAYOR Austerman, Barker, Blankenburg, Gregg, Naughton, White. None Unanimous Mayor Selby pointed out the April Meeting Schedule and especially noted the special meeting on April 17, 1986 to deal with the resolution concerning the school funding for next year. He also pointed out an oversight during the public hearing on the shipworks facility and asked that the assembly consider two let- ters and a petition signed by 31 people supporting the develop- ment of the facility. He asked these documents be entered into the official record by motion. NAUGHTON, moved to enter the documents seconded by BARKER into the record. MOTION CARRIED Unanimous voice vote Mayor Selby explained the proposed scallop farming project of Tim Ward in the Port Lions area. He said a budget had been drawn up with the assistance of Hank Pennington of the Sea Grant Program at the Extension Service. He stated it will require $5,000 for this research project and the City of Port Lions will give $300 cash towards it. He said they have requested the borough to authorize the balance of $4,700. Mayor Selby pointed out that the money was available under contracted services in the Community Development budget and requested approval for getting involved in the project. NAUGHTON, seconded by BARKER moved to authorize the mayor to expend $4,700 of the grant money to this project. Assemblyman Austerman requested the motion be amended to stress that this is a pilot project so if other requests come in for scallop -type projects the borough will not be asked to fund all the scallop projects on the island. Assemblyman Naughton accepted the statement as a friendly amendment.

As no motion was made, the ordinance died on the table. NEW BUSINESS NEW BUSINESS A.

Contract for Development of Standard Specifica- WATER, SEWER, & tions for Water, Sewer & Storm Drainage, Service STORM DRAINAGE District #1. CONTRACT 0 �w Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting April 3, 1986 AUSTERMAN, seconded by NAUGHTON moved to award the contract for standard specifications for water, sewer, and storm drainage for Service District #1 to URS Engineers in the amount NTE $25,000. Assemblymember Barker asked the mayor for a clarification of earlier comments by Scott Arndt on the position of the Service District regarding this bid award. Mayor Selby stated that the contract was requested by the Service District. He said there was some talk about further development in the Monashka Bay area but at the present time no funds were available. He said that if the Service District was not willing to support it by way of putting some money into the contract, then he recommended holding off until such time when the service districts were ready to move ahead in either Bells Flats or the Monashka Bay area. His rational was that the codes may change before money was available to move ahead in the other areas and the plans would be obsolete. At the present time, the only ser- vice district to benefit from this contract would be Service District #1. Assemblymember Blankenburg asked Scott Arndt when he initiated this proposal. In response to Assemblyman Blankenburg, Mr. Arndt indicated he initiated this proposal six months ago. In response to further questioning, Mr. Arndt replied that he felt the main benefit would be to eliminate the continual fight- ing between the Borough and the developers. He said there were no set design standards so they were open to interpretation which often resulted in disputes. He said the borough adopted the city's design specifications which were 20 years old. Technology has changed since that time and he didn't anticipate any additional changes. He felt development of these standard specifications would be good public relations for the borough and he didn't feel it was appropriate for the Service District to pay for it.

The presiding officer said that he had a request by the school district for testimony by Dennis Murray. April 3, 1986 ASBESTOS ABATEMENT SYSTEM UPGRADE (continued) Dennis Murray stated that the School Board met and discussed the proposed actions by the assembly regarding this bid award. He said they had some concerns that the motion was not to go with the alternates which were part of the original proposal. He said they understood the alternates were relatively expensive, however, the School Board considered the alternates as meritorious and hoped the borough would give them consideration at some future point. He stated that the School Board was in agreement with the action proposed but wanted the assembly to recognize that the alternates such as domestic hot water replacement, the bleachers, and the gym floor are important also.

MOTION CARRIED Unanimous voice vote The assembly recessed into Executive Session, after which the regular meeting was reconvened. Assemblymember Barker reported that the assembly discussed certain personnel matters and no action was taken. ASSEMBLYMEN'S C0MMEI1TS ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS Assemblyman Austerman asked for clarification concerning the building of a new hospital at the Coast Guard Station. Mayor Selby explained that a clinic was scheduled to be built with no surgery facilities or beds. He then inquired to the status of the local hospital site. Mayor Selby responded that an offer and counter offer had been made on a tract near the Lutheran Church and said that he should have a response shortly. Assemblyman Austerman said that he would like to review the cost before a decision to purchase the tract was made and Mayor Selby explained it would have to come before the assembly for action. Mr. Austerman also asked the assembly to consider a proposal that he made to create a new department in the borough for economic de- velopment. He said such a department should more than pay for itself in the long run by increasing the economic base in Kodiak. GREGG, moved to extend the meeting seconded by AUSTERMAN until midnight. MOTION CARRIED Unanimous Assemblyman Gregg stated that he agreed with Mr. Austerman con- cerning the development of an economic development department but he was against increasing the size of the borough staff. He suggested reorganizing the staff to fit in this department. He asked if some action needed to be taken on the Chamber's Trade trip to Japan. Mayor Selby explained that the trip had been postponed during April because things were not coming together. It had been rescheduled for sometime next fall. With no further business to come before the assembly, the meeting adjourned at 11:40 p.m. ATTEST: C B rough. k •w�4 Pr s ding Officer ADJOURNMENT 12 46
