(VIII C.) Mr. Murray moved to remove Ordinance No. 81-27-0(A) from the table.
Seconded by Mr. Arndt. Unanimous voice vote.
Assemblyman Anderson asked if anyone in the audience would like to come forward
and speak on the ordinance.
Lou Schneider: (resident and contractor) As a contractor, I have always been one
very much in favor of strong building codes to protect the people of the community
and the contractors that work in the community. You give a service to the people
of this community when you require them to come in and purchase a building permit.
That says your inspector will go out there and apply the building code per se.
If we are going to take and tear these codes down we might as well throw out our
inspection system. If we are going to throw out lumber grading, let's throw out
insulation, concrete quality and get rid of all of it.
Walt Ebell:(Attorney and represents Timberline, Inc.)The ordinance simply provides
that ungraded locally manufactured lumber may be used in the construction of one
or two-story dwellings and accessory buildings. It does not mandate that it has
to be used it only makes it available to the members of our community. This
ordinance would simply allow a present practice to continue, a practice which has
brought no harm to any members of our community.
Ken Kilborn:(Forest Products Specialist for Region X of the Forest Service)
T e State aw says that, for State financing, the only timber, lumber and
manufactured lumber products originating in this State from local forests shall
be used when practicable. There may be justification in requiring some limits
to that lumber that's used; but, there is certainly nothing wrong with the lumber
that's produced in Alaska for all uses. If it's a design criteria that limits it,
either the size can be increased or the design can be changed to allow for local
lumber.
KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING - Auguit 61 1-981 `

Mark White:(Instructor at Community College)I spend a lot of my time out helping
people construct houses and looking at existing structures. Most of the buildings
here built from spruce, because it is relatively inexpensive, are way beyond what
is required for minimum strength. I have not seen a structural failure in the
twelve or so years I have been here.
William Beaty:(Pres. of Kodiak Area Contractors Association)If you pass this
ordinance tonight, and an individual has to have someone build his house because
he's not qualified, he won't be able to get a licensed contractor to do that work.
There is no way a licensed contractor can use ungraded Sitka spruce. Even though
you pass an ordinance that says he can, we have to comply with the State because
that's where our licenses come from.
Motion carried 4-1 to adopt Ordinance No. 81-27-0(A) with Mr. Anderson casting
the NO vote.
