GREGG,
seconded by STEVENS

No. 87-11-0.
The presiding officer called for public testimony.
Scott Arndt spoke against the ordinance because he felt the
assembly would have problems getting a quorum for two meetings a
month.
The presiding officer closed the public hearing and reconvened
the assembly.
GREGG,
seconded by BLANKENBURG
moved to amend by
substitution Ordinance
No. 87-11-0.
Mr. Gregg read the substituted ordinance and explained his reason
for requesting the assembly to meet twice a month was so that the
assembly would not have to accept agenda items when they had not
had proper time to consider them. By meeting twice a month, he
said the assembly would eliminate the need to schedule special
meetings to handle emergency items. The substitution provided
that ordinances introduced at a meeting would receive public
hearing in one month rather than two weeks.

question as to whether or not to investigate consolidation and
not the step that actually creates the new borough. He said this
was a very preliminary step and hopefully a way of resolving the
issue on consolidation.

CITIZENS C0I4II:N'PS CITIZENS' COMMENTS
Scott Arndt spoke against authorizing the mayor to bid for con-
struction of Service District 01's Project 85-3 for two reasons.
He said that Fire Service District #1 and Service District #1 had
not reached an agreement on a change in priorities. Also, he
said the state required abandonment of wells within 100 feet of
sewer and water mains and he was against the borough having to
pay property owners for the abandonment of water wells when the
service district was using 100 percent grant money to put in the
utilities. He requested the assembly to rescind the previous
motion until such time as agreements from property owners were
obtained.

Regular Assembly Meeting
Scott Arndt and Mayor Selby responded to questions from the CITIZENS' COMMENTS
assembly.
Jim Fisk speaking as a property owner of ten acres of land on
Lilly Drive objected to S.D. #1 Project 83-3 going to bid because
of design problems. He listed his reasons for objecting and gave
background information regarding the area.
Tony Perez, member of Service District #1 Board, clarified his
position in approving S.D. #1 Project 83-3 going to bid as voted
on by the Service District Board.
Reverend Ray Boutwell, pastor of the Monashka Bay Baptist Church
on Antone Way, requested the assembly to authorize water and
sewer installation on Antone Way. He said there were approxi-
mately one hundred people in his congregation who utilized the
church building and these utilities would provide fire protection
for them as well as potable water.
'S COMMENTS ASSEMBLYMEN'S
COMMENTS
Assemblyman Blankenburg referring to the June 17, 1987 Planning
and Zoning minutes in which Brechan Enterprises requested a
permit for a landfill site to bury debris in the Bell's Flat
area, asked how the monitoring would be conducted by DEC and the
borough in view of the present monetary restraints.
Mayor Selby responded to his concerns and said there were several
possibilities for monitoring the site but the exact one had not
been determined at this time.
Assemblyman Blankenburg expressed a concern that the Coast Guard
was using malathion on the golf course as a pesticide and said
r the water runoff from that area feeds into the Buskin River which
Il is the source of water for the Guard Guard Base.
Assemblyman Austerman requested the mayor to update the audience
on the baler facility and inquired about the leachate settling
ponds, the baler facility doors, and the drainage problem in the
floor of the baler facility. Referring to the school additions
in Port Lions and Larsen Bay authorized at the last meeting, he
asked when the assembly would see a finalized copy of the
contract between the villages and their Construction Management
Service. Mayor Selby responded to all questions.
Assemblyman Gregg thought the ordinance relating to garbage
should be changed to reflect the new method of billing for
dumping at the baler facility. He said if bills were going to be
mailed that he would like to see a minimum billing of ten dollars
because it cost that much to handle the billing.
Assemblyman Stevens asked if the problem with the driveway
entrance at the baler facility during icy conditions had been
addressed and, also inquired about the landscaping surrounding
the baler facility. He commented on the admirable job the Kodiak
Mirror had done in bringing to light the problems faced by
transient cannery workers. He thought the community should be
able to come up with a viable workable solution to the problem
and would like to see the subject presented at a joint work
session with the city.
Assemblyman White said he had an opportunity to inspect the
Karluk Public Safety Building and commended the staff on the
professional job done.
