MOTION CARRIED Unanimous voice vote Tony Perez representing Service District No. 1 spoke in favor of Resolution 86-41-R authorizing URS Engineers to develop standard specifications for water, sewer, and storm drainage facilities. He stated these specifications would be a benefit to all contrac- tors in the community. PUBLIC BEARING PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Transfer of Package Store Liquor License TRANSFER OF TO: Safeway Store #1090, Corner Mill Bay and Murphy Way PACKAGE STORE FROM: Rendezvous Clearwater, Inc. Post Office Box 3005, LICENSE-SAFEWAY Kodiak, Alaska NAUGHTON, moved to voice non objection seconded AUSTERMAN to liquor license transfer. The presiding officer called for public testimony. Lorna Arndt questioned if this liquor license transfer to a busi- ness which is presently located in the borough but in the process 04 S:5� Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting June 5, 1986 of being annexed into the city, would meet the density require- ments for a license in the city. Mayor Selby responded to the question by saying that the method used bypassed the density requirements because the area was being incorporated into the city after the fact. He stated that it may impact future liquor licenses within the city. Assemblyman Austerman said it was a mute point at this time because the transfer was being made within the borough. The presiding officer closed the public hearing and reconvened the assembly. GREGG, seconded by AUSTERMAN VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND moved to amend to include in letter of non -objection that the Safeway site is being annexed into City of Kodiak. Unanimous voice vote Assemblyman White stated that he would vote against the transfer because he felt it was a sly way of sliding another liquor license into the community. He felt it draws an undesirable element into an area which has churches and schools. Assemblyman White read two letters from Art Zimmer, who is a property owner in the area, objecting to the transfer of this license. VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED PUBLIC HEARINGS TRANSFER OF PACKAGE STORE LICENSE-SAFEWAY (continued) Ayes: Austerman, Barker, Gregg, Naughton, Ruble Noes: White MOTION CARRIED 5 Ayes, 1 No B. Ordinance No. 86-21-0 Levying Taxes On All Taxable Real ORDINANCE And Personal Property Within The Borough For The Ex- NO. 86-21-0 penses And Liabilities Of The Borough For The Fiscal Year Commencing On The First Day Of July 1986 And End- ing On The Thirtieth Day Of June 1987. GREGG, seconded by NAUGHTON GREGG, seconded by NAUGHTON moved to adopt Ordinance No. 86-21-0 moved to amend by substituting the revised version of Ordinance No. 86-21-0 dated May 29, 1986. MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED Unanimous voice vote The presiding officer called for public testimony. Marion Johnson, Director for the Kodiak Historical Society, requested funds to extend the hours that the Bananof Museum is open. She reported that two cruise ships have been in port and the visitor count is up at the Museum. She said the funds were needed to staff the museum since it is one of Kodiak's best tourist attractions. Alan Schmidt, Alaska Legal Services, stated that the local support demonstrated by this funding will go a long way towards persuading his Board of Directors in Anchorage that Kodiak wants a legal services office and is dedicated to provide the poor people on the island with equal access to the courts. Gary Stevens, President of the Kodiak Island School Board, stated that he was gratified to learn that the revised budget ordinance 3 r7 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting June 5, 1986 contained an additional $496,000 for the school district. He said the $700,000 reduction would have an adverse impact on Kodiak's educational system and its employees. He urged the assembly to put the entire $700,000 back into the budget. Bill Roberts, Chairman of the Chiniak Community Forum, stated his group was requesting $15,000 to take care of several problems that have unexpectedly arisen in his community recently and he hoped the assembly would look kindly upon the request. Lucinda Roberts, President of the Board of Directors for the Kodiak Council on Alcoholism, stated there was a continuing need j for services offered by KCA. She said in the first half of FY 1986 that 376 clients were seen on an outpatient basis which was more the the previous year's total. She summarized the results of various surveys conducted in the Kodiak area and stated that drug and alcoholism rank high among Kodiak's problems. The funds requested will go towards operating the Hope House facility which is being used near its capacity. Justine LeGrue, member of the Board of Directors of KCA, spoke in support of the funding for the Kodiak Council on Alcoholism. Perry Page, spoke in support of funding for the Kodiak Council on Alcoholism as he said they do a good job in our community in combating alcohol abuse. Mary Lou Knudsen, representing Kodiak Headstart, thanked the assembly for their support of the Headstart program and their concern for the children in the community. Susan Brain, General Manager of KMXT, thanked the borough for the award of $10,000 for FY 86 and stated that it paid for a little less than half of KMXT's rent in the borough building. She said KMXT was again asking relief from the $22,000 in rent and utili- ties cost for FY 87. She pointed out that KMXT provides important services to the community and that every local dollar in funding is matched by federal dollars. Sharon Campbell Lowell, representing the Women's Resource and Crisis Center, explained the purpose of the center and the ser- vices provided. She stated that their steadily increasing client numbers is an affirmation that their services fill a need which is not addressed by any other agency. Cindy Stewart, Coordinator of the Mother Care Program, explained the program was designed to help pregnant women recognize the options in child birth and to offer support and information to them. She stated there was limited resources available in the community for such services and a real need for this program to continue. Dennis Murray, Director of the Senior Citizens Center, thanked the assembly for the $20,000 appropriation to the center. On an unrelated matter, he asked to have the $2,527,000 receipts and expenditures under land sales fund in the budget clarified. In response to this question, Mayor Selby explained that the $2,527,000 of revenues represents the fund balance of the land �? sale fund. In terms of expenditures, he said there's a small IL I amount set aside for surveys, preparation for land sales, right-of-way acquisition, etc; and the balance of it, in excess of $2,000.000 is carried as a contingency item. Dennis Murray pointed out that in the past it was not the practice to carry the land sale fund balance into the budget as an expenditure and he said it obviously gave the assembly the authority to spend it without going through an ordinance proce- dure. Also, he said it didn't give the public an opportunity to give input on what the assembly proposed to do. He asked if the two million dollars was to purchase the land for the proposed shipyard in Womens Bay. He reiterated his concerns over the ORDINANCE NO. 86-21-0 (continued) 4 66 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting June 5, 1986 �i shipyard project and said he did not think that either the ORDINANCE assembly or the mayor would use the contingency fund to purchase NO. 86-21-0 the Womens Bay property in an attempt to bypass public input, but (continued) he wanted it clarified for everyone. He also wanted a clarifi- cation of the actual milage rate. Father Hugh Hall, representing the Senior Citizens Board of Di- rectors, thanked the borough for their funding of the center. He said it was the center's aim to give senior citizens indepen- dence and not to institutionalize them. Nancy Lenore, President of the Officer's Wives Club at the Coast Guard Station, thanked the borough for their assistance in sending Santa to the villages. Julie Cain Hill, President of the Board of Directors of Small World, thanked the assembly for their proposed allocation of $20,000 to Small World. She also thanked them for recognizing the continuing need for high quality developmental day care in the community Sheila Barrett, Director of Respite Care, thanked the assembly on behalf of the parents who have the special needs that her group serves. The presiding officer reconvened the assembly. NAUGHTON, seconded by BARKER moved to amend the budget in Section 2 - D - Capital Project Funds, Item 2 - Borough Projects, Various (044) to read $99,850 and the subsequent total be adjusted to reflect the change. Mayor Selby pointed out that the money should be specified for the Educational Salmon Rearing Project in Ouzinkie. Assemblyman Naughton accepted this as a friendly amendment. MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED Unanimous voice vote Assemblyman Gregg requested the line item revisions which are made to the budget over the year be reflected in the "amount budgeted" column on the reports given to the assembly. He said it was difficult to know where the budget was running over. Mayor Selby explained that by ordinance internal changes were made by the staff and reflected in the monthly financial report. He said that any journal vouchers which are made for that purpose could be identified and noted in the monthly report. Assemblymember Austerman commented he had not been in favor of the total budget proposed by the school district but that he could live with the $496,000 which was reinstated. He said he had talked with a lot of people in the community and with the exception of people directly involved with the school system, everyone thought the budget should be cut back. He thought in view of state funding cutbacks, it was easier to take a little out each year. He felt the school board came to the budget meet- ings with a defensive posture rather than trying to work things out. He proposed meetings be set up earlier with the school board to work out problem areas for the next year. He also sug- gested combining maintenance of borough and school district buildings under the borough's auspices. He thought this might save duplication of positions and save money. 5 0 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting June 5, 1986 BARKER, seconded by GREGG moved to amend the revenue sharing list by taking $6,000 from the Kodiak Island Hospital allocation and giving it to KMXT Public Radio for a total of $16,000. Assemblymember Barker said she appreciated the services of KMXT and realized KMXT was in a housing crunch at the present time. She said the hospital funding was doing well for the next year and proposed the $6,000 could be better served in the KMXT fund. Assemblymember Austerman said he need time to think about this change and since the list had been reviewed many times, he was not in favor of changing it at this point in time. Assemblymember Barker stated that the point of a Public Hearing was to give everyone an opportunity to speak and that she had recognized KMXT's needs as a result of their testimony. She thought the assembly could still be flexible. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND Ayes: Noes: Barker, Gregg Naughton, Ruble, Austerman, White MOTION FAILED 2 Ayes, 4 Noes Assemblymember White commented when he was new to the assembly he believed taxes could be lowered much easier. He stated there was a slight increase in taxes this year because assessments were up about two percent due to new buildings. The milage was kept at 3.75 except for those individuals who have new buildings, he said; however, assembly might have to look at raising the mill rate next year if present services are to be maintained. VOTE ON MOTION TO ADOPT AS AMENDED Ayes: Gregg, Naughton, Ruble, Austerman, Barker, White Noes: None MOTION CARRIED Unanimous The presiding officer called for a five minute recess. The presiding officer reconvened the assembly. The mayor presented a certificate of commendation and a check for $75.00 to Donna Coleman of the Data Processing Department as recipient of the Kodiak Island Borough Employee of the Month award. C. Ordinance No. 86-22-0 Relating To Elections. BARKER, moved to adopt Ordinance seconded by NAUGHTON No. 86-22-0. The presiding officer called for public testimony; there being none, public hearing was closed. Assemblymember Austerman said the assembly had wished to discuss this ordinance with the borough clerk and there had not been an opportunity to do so, therefore, he wished to table it. AUSTERMAN, moved to table Ordinance seconded by NAUGHTON No. 86-22-0 to July meeting. ORDINANCE NO. 86-21-0 (continued) ORDINANCE NO. 86-22-0 11 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting June 5, 1986 VOTE ON MOTION TO TABLE MOTION CARRIED Unanimous D. Ordinance No. 86-23-0 Rezoning Lot 1, Block 2, Russian Creek Subdivision (From RR1 to Public Use Lands). AUSTERMAN, seconded by NAUGHTON moved to adopt Ordinance No. 86-23-0. The presiding officer called for public testimony. Jim Cobis, representing the Parks Committee, stated if the land was given to increase the size of the present park that it would be taken care of and improved upon by the Womens Bay Community. The presiding officer closed the public hearing and reconvened the assembly. Assemblymember Austerman said he toured at the park lands in the Womens Bay area last Saturday and this lot was a natural to add to the existing park. He said there was a community effort going on by the Womens Bay community to work on the parks and they were raking, preparing to plant, and setting up swings. He said he was impressed by the community spirit of the people and applauded them for their efforts. MOTION TO ADOPT CARRIED Unanimous voice vote E. Ordinance No. 86-24-0 A Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance Of The Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak, Alaska. GREGG, seconded by AUSTERMAN moved to adopt Ordinance No. 86-24-0. The presiding officer called for public testimony. Dennis Murray asked for clarification of Item 3 - Land Sales Funds under B on page 2 of the budget. He said the original budget for this year was $777,000 and the amended budget had an additional $1,442,000. He asked if the assembly was intending to spend that amount before June 30th. Major Selby explained that the intent was to bring the amount forward from the fund balance into the current budget so that the assembly knew what was available in the land sale fund. It has been a source of confusion, he said, and the assembly preferred to have it shown there. It will be shown as a contingency item, fall back into the fund balance and then be reappropriated in the budget that is adopted for next year. The presiding officer closed the public hearing and reconvened the assembly. VOTE ON MOTION TO ADOPT Ayes: Noes: MOTION CARRIED MESSAGES FROM THE BOROUGH MAYOR A.

Resolution No. 86-42-R Authorizing Staff To Advertise For Bids For Construction Of The Baler Facility. AUSTERMAN, seconded by BARKER moved to adopt Resolution No. 86-42-R A lengthy discussion ensued regarding garbage collection and disposal. The assembly felt more input was needed from the com- munity. Concerns were raised about the powers necessary and the pressure from the state to get the baling facility on line. Mayor Selby answered a question by saying that in dealing with the long standing garbage collection and landfill problem many studies have been conducted, and baling has been determined to be the most cost effective process, less costly than incineration. Last year the borough accepted a state grant of $2,600,000 for converting the landfill to a bale fill facility. In addition, he said that he had received a letter from Department of Environmen- tal Conservation stating they were in the process of issuing the borough a landfill permit. The permit would require the landfill area to be closed within the year and require that the baler facility to be in operation by the end of 1986. The DEC intends to enforce the law by charging fines for every day that the illegal city landfill remains in operation after the deadline. In response to another question from Assemblyman Gregg, Mayor Selby said that counting a 30 day bid advertising period, time for the assembly to act on the bids, time for the successful bidder to begin the project, and four to six months for completion of the baler facility, it would be December or January before the baler could be in operation. A discussion concerning community input via an advisory vote followed.

AUSTERMAN, seconded by RUBLE moved to adopt Resolution No. 86-44-R in amount NTE $156,000. 9.1 c� Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting June 5, 1986 VOTE ON MOTION TO ADOPT Ayes: Noes: MOTION CARRIED CITIZENS' COMMENTS Austerman, Barker, Gregg Naughton, Ruble, White None Unanimous Dennis Murray stated that he appreciated the assembly allowing Ordinance 86-22-0 regarding the sale of property to die on the table as he felt that citizens had a right to review such deci- sions. Concerning the baling facility, he stated that garbage collection was a service that government was responsible for and he urged the assembly to put an ordinance before the public, get it passed, and get on with it. Lorna Arndt gave her opinions regarding the increased penalties on late payments of property taxes. She thought wages should be cut in the administrative salaries of the school district budget rather than cutting educational items; and, she said the school board travelled too much to the villages. She questioned why the Bells Flats area was getting paved roads when she lived in the oldest district in town and still has dirt roads. She was against the borough taking on garbage powers. Dennis Murray as a member of the school board took exception to Mrs. Arndt's remarks regarding travel to the villages. He said that he felt the citizens of the villages should have equal access to the decision makers and as a result, the board has resolved to have meetings in the villages to give them this opportunity. ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS Assemblyman Austerman mentioned that the assembly had not held meetings with citizens from the various areas such as Bell's Flats, Service District No. 1, or the villages; and he thought work sessions should be held in these areas so communication could be established with these groups. Assemblyman Gregg said the assembly should take a leadership position in the garbage issue with the following motion: GREGG, seconded by RUBLE moved that an advisory vote be held on the adoption of non -area wide garbage powers no later than July 15 and direct the clerk to prepare a ballot, an educational brochure, and resolution necessary for a mail advisory vote. A discussion ensued amongst the assemblymembers. Assemblymember Barker thought the garbage ordinance should be brought back and opened to public hearing which was the usual procedure for adopting new powers. Assemblyman Naughton concurred. Assemblyman Austerman pointed out that the ordinance stated the borough would assume the city's responsibilities for the landfill. He thought better input would come from an advisory vote. Dennis Murray asked why the ordinance could not be introduced tonight. Mayor Selby replied an ordinance could not be written up on a moment's notice and the aforementioned garbage ordinance needed to be reviewed before being brought before the assembly. RESOLUTION NO. 86-44-R (continued) CITIZENS' COMMENTS ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS GARBAGE POWERS ADVISORY VOTE 11 �7 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting VOTE ON MOTION Ayes: Noes: MOTION CARRIED Ruble, Austerman, Gregg, white Naughton, Barker 4 Ayes, 2 Noes n Assemblyman Naughton reported that in May he attended the Coastal IIL Policy Council which was held in Anchorage and then adjourned to Kotzebue. He said that the federal government must approve the Coastal Zone Management plans which are generated by the communi- ties and approved by the Coastal Policy Council. Starting with the North Slope Borough plan, Aleutians East plan, and the Bristol Bay plan the federal government stopped approving and the problem being that the plans call for protection of fisheries habitats in some case up to the mountain peaks of the various water sheds. He said the oil and mining companies were putting pressure on the Reagan administration to not approve the plans. The Nanana Region plan was interesting, he said because Nanana owns the land where the Red Dog Mine is located and also has the responsibility of protecting the resources their people need to subsist. The corporation was forced to meld the various interests of both factions and their plan was an excellent combination. Assemblymember Ruble stated the Economic Development Committee was going to undertake the study of the proposed land purchase and she suggested any interested citizen should contact this group and give their input. Assemblymember Barker requested Scott Thompson explain the Ouzinkie Scientific and Educational Hatchery project. Scott Thompson explained the purpose of the project was to interest communities in fisheries enhancement through sources other than the state. This project will be a gravity feed type system that doesn't need pumps and will utilize water from the hydroelectric system. Assemblymember White reminded everyone that the next assembly meeting will be held on Tuesday, July let due to the holiday on July 4th. He called the staff's attention to the problem of people storing gear and equipment on road easements and asked that the matter be checked. Also, he said he had a concern about the number of items on the consent agenda and asked to review the consent agenda before the packets were assembled. He expressed another concern over the high unemployment in the villages. He questioned whether borough projects in villages could be bid on by the villages and the construction done by the residents within the village thereby keeping the money within the community. He wondered if the required bonding for such projects could be waived in order to have local hire. Assemblyman Austerman suggested the mayor look into these concepts and give a report at the next work session. Mayor Selby explained that the villages could not get the bonding necessary because they do not have the assets in the community. However, he was checking into the new local hire law and will try to get some answers. Scott Thompson suggested that a way to get around the bonding problem would be a joint venture between a contractor and the village. He said with the right combination you would get your bonding, your professionalism, and local labor as the venture.
