PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Ordinance No. 86-17-0 Authorizing $9,930,000 Principal ORDINANCE
.�. Amount Of General Obligation Variable Rate Demand Bonds, NO. 86-17-0
1986 Series A, To Pay The Costs Of School Improvements
In The Borough; Authorizing The Execution Of An Indenture
And A Reimbursement Agreement With Respect To The Bonds;
Providing For The Authorization By Resolution Of A
Preliminary Official Statement, An Official Statement,

Respect To The Bonds; And Determining Related Matters.
NAUGHTON, moved to adopt Ordinance
seconded by BARKER No. 86-17-0.
The presiding officer called for public testimony.
Scott Arndt spoke in favor of a portion of the bond issue. He
felt it would be prudent to sell only what was necessary to
2

Regular Assembly Meeting
May 1, 1986
continue the projects approved in the bond issue and the money ORDINANCE
for roof repairs. He estimated that $2,000,000 would cover these NO. 86-17-0
costs. He felt that due to unstable interest rates at this time (continued)
the borough might pay more for the money on the bonds than they
would receive in interest in the bank.
The presiding officer closed the public hearing and reconvened
the assembly.
Assemblyman Austerman said there had been a discussion at the
noon work session concerning House Bill 520 before the legisla-
ture regarding the pay back by the state on these bonds. If the
bill is passed, the percentage would be 70 percent rather than
the proposed 80 percent and if this whole bonding issue is not
sold as of July 1, 1986, it would not be eligible for the 80
percent reimbursement. He felt the house bill was open to inter-
pretation and thought only a part of the bond issue should be
sold at this time.
Assemblyman Naughton stated this ordinance does not sell the
bonds but simply authorizes incurring the debt. He felt that if
the assembly authorized the sale, then the borough would be as-
sured of the 80 percent and could sell the bonds as needed.
Acting Mayor Camardella commented that the implementation of the
school construction projects would be severely impacted if the
total amount of the bond issue in a timely manner.
AUSTERMAN, moved to recess the meeting
seconded by BARKER for ten minutes.
MOTION CARRIED Unanimous voice vote
The presiding officer reconvened the public hearing.
Eric Wohlforth, bond attorney, said that he was available to
answer questions regarding legal questions about the bond issue.
In response to questions, he said it was his impression that it
was the time of authorization of the bonds that governs the rate
of reimbursement rather than the time of sale of the bonds.
Assembermember Barker stated that if there was any question
regarding the state pay back, she was in favor of passing the
bond issue tonight.
Bryce Weeks, Finance Director, answered in response to questions
that his department was ready to sell the entire bond issue. He
said the money realized from the bond sale would be in the bank
earning interest that would not only pay interest but would
probably pay for any cost overruns on the school construction
projects.

17.36.070 (C) regarding cubical content of a building. He said

tures so that if a structure meets the code, it would not be (continued)
necessary to go to the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval
to enlarge it.

the assembly.

3. Ordinance No. 86-20-0 Deleting Kodiak Island Borough
Code Section 18.20.050 Concerning Real Property
Disposal in Keeping with AS Title 29.
GREGG,
seconded by AUSTERMAN
moved to adopt Ordinance
No. 86-20-0.
The presiding officer called for public testimony.
Scott Arndt spoke in opposition of the ordinance. He said basi-
cally the ordinance would eliminate the election requirement for
disposal of land not obtained from the state with a value of
$25,000 or more. His objection was that the new Title 29 allowed
for being more restrictive but not for being more lenient. He
was against changing the books to fit a particular project and he
interpreted this ordinance to do that.
The presiding officer closed the public hearing and reconvened
the assembly.
A discussion ensued amongst the assemblymembers.
