I will be on KVOK with Keith Beaver tomorrow to publicly state the Assembly's position on recent decisions regarding COLA, the combined leave program and other items. XII ASSEMBLY COMMENTS Mr. White: I would like to give notice to rescind Ordinance No. 85-6-0 Amending Personnel Rules and Regulations by Combining Sick and Annual Leave at the next regular Assembly Meeting. Mr. Rounsaville moved that the Assembly establish a Computer Advisory KIB Assembly Mtg. — May 2, 1985 Page 6 Committee comprised of five members which would be one from the School, one from the Borough and three from the community —at —large to advise the Assembly on needs, problems and concerns of our computer system. Seconded by Mr. Naughton. Motion failed 3-4 with Mr. Naughton, Mr. Rounsaville and Mr. White casting the YES votes. Mr. Naughton: When we established our priorities in the Capital Improvement Program, we asked the State for architectural and engineering funds for a Cold Storage Facility. The existing fisheries in general are not going well for Kodiak. It is time we changed our "dance step", if Kodiak is going to remain an economically viable community. The Cold Storage Facility simply has to get going if we are going to improve the situation. The main interest in the Cold Storage is to develop the clam industry. I would urge everyone to get in touch with their legislators and let them know that the Cold Storage Facility is needed as soon as possible. Mr. Wakefield: I would like to support Mayor Peterson going to Juneau and "beating down the doors" so that we may possibly get a little support out of Juneau. Mrs. Cater: No comments. Mr. Blankenburg: I think the people that have worked on the Monashka Bay Comprehensive Plan have done a very good job. I think it will be a work— able document. Ms. Barker: I agree in concept with what Mr. Rounsaville suggested regarding the computer committee. I would like to see us talk a little bit more at a work session on the three alternatives. The architects for the hospital were in town this week and presented their remodeling plan to the Hospital Board and Medical Staff. They will come back in two weeks with an alternative plan for a new hospital. XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS Perry Page: (K.I.B.Data Prot. Mgr.) I wish to thank Assemblywoman Barker for her wonderful article in today's paper. The article was clear and concise. I also wish to thank the Assembly. Lorna Arndt: I would also like to commend Assemblywoman Barker for her article. I would also like to commend the Borough Manager for I think he is doing a terrific job for us. I think the Borough Manager should be on "Hotline" too because a lot of the issues that will be brought up are concerning personnel and what has been passed. Mr. Selby has attended every Personnel Board meeting. He has really brought expertise to us. I have a question regarding the phones in the auditorium. Did you go to bid on it? I would like to see it go to a locally owned business. XIV ADJOURNMENT Mr. Rounsaville moved to adjourn. Seconded by Mr. Wakefield. Mayor Peterson adjourned the meeting at 9:05 pm. ATTEST:
