Budget And Determining The Total Amount Of Funds To Be
Made Available From Local Sources.
BLANKENBURG,
seconded by GREGG
moved to adopt Resolution
No. 86-32-R.
The presiding officer called for public testimony.
Gary Stevens, president of the Kodiak Island School Board, presented
the Board's stand on the budget request. He noted that should further
state and/or federal cuts be made, the board will be back to the as-
sembly with a request for more funding.
John Witteveen, Assistant Superintendent of the Kodiak Island Borough
Schools, stated there was uncertainty about state funding at this
time. He said if the assembly reduced the budget further it would
have an even greater effect on the operating budget and he requested
the budget be considered as a minimum local appropriation for schools.
The presiding officer closed the public hearing.
AUSTERMAN,
seconded by BLANKENBURG
moved to amend by deleting the
$500,000 fund balance.
INSTALLATION
OF NEW
ASSEMBLYMEMBER
RESOLUTION
NO. 86-32-R
Assemblyman Austerman explained that he was requesting elimination
of the fund balance carried by the school district. Also, he said that
he understood the need for meeting with the board again after the
state budget was finalized and was willing to do so.
Mayor Selby clarifed that the FY 87 estimated fund balance would not
be dropped to zero by this amendment. He explained that the $500,000
represented savings from local appropriations and would be shown as
being the first primary source of funding for the school district in
FY 87. He said the amendment would basically make the total $1,705,825
($500,000 fund balance plus $1,205,000 in new funding.)

Special Assembly Meeting
April 17, 1986
In response to questions, the mayor also noted that the total direct RESOLUTION
expenditure out of the general fund for educational support was NO. 86-32-R
approximately $280,000. (Fire and liability insurance on school (continued)
buildings is approximately $250,000; audit expenses are
$22,000-23,000; plus additional other indirect costs)
Assemblyman Blankenburg said he preferred to work with definite
figures after he knew what the state was contributing rather than
guessing at the figures.
The presiding officer asked Assemblyman Austerman if he would
entertain a friendly amendment to change his motion to identify the FY
87 Budget rather than the fund balance.
Assemblyman Austerman, as the maker of the motion, with the
concurrance of Assemblyman Blankenburg, his second, agreed to
change the motion to:
moved to amend by deleting
$500,000 from the FY 87 budget.
Assemblyman White stated that he did not want to see the amount of
money collected for tax purposes be increased this year and he desired
to hold the line.
