We had an excellent work session with the Larsen Bay City Council. They showed us the improvements and some of the problems around the community. 2.. I want to commend Cathy Kozak for placing third in the 1600 meter and second in the 3200 meter, also, Mona Cuthbert placed second in the 800 meter and fourth in the 400 meter. I just wanted to wish them my congratulations. XII ASSEMBLY COMMENTS Mr. Peotter: I would like to commend the Staff for all the hard worF and ors in time they put in the budget. I really appreciate that and I think they did good work, Mr. Shealy in particular. Mr. Murray: I would like to clarify what Mr. Large said about the existing road being on his property. I would like to see Staff research that and see to what extent it is on his property and what it would cost to move it. Otherwise I would say, irrespective of our consultants feeling that we should not allow private use of public right-of-ways, I think there are some litigating circum- stances if we're denying him the use of his own property presently. I would like to have Staff bring that back to us in July to be reconsidered at that point. I would move to place on the minutes reconsideration of a motion of the denial of the Resolution concerning that issue. Mr. Arndt: No comments. Mr. W i te: No comments. Mr. Beaty: I voted no on the school budget because primarily I think there is a lot of money being spent. I'm not sure exactly where it is being spent, I'm new on it. I think the budget is probably one of the best ones I have ever seen. I know a lot of people did a lot work on it. I would like to have the Attorney check on the Alaska Statutes governing public buildings in regards to having a registered licensed engineer doing design for these public buildings. I would like to see some enforcement on that statute if at all possible. Mr. Wakefield: I would like to compliment the Staff on the Budget. wou�aiso like to compliment the Assembly. I'm glad we passed it and I'm glad the Assembly was able to make it to all the tedious meetings this last month to work it out. On our trip to Karluk and Larsen Bay, it was brought up in Larsen Bay as to who is getting the raw fish tax. It has come to my attention that the state statutes read that First Class and Home Rule Cities get a portion of the raw fish tax. If they are inside a Borough they would split it with the Borough, but in the case of Second Class Cities they don't get anything. I think it might behoove the Borough to try and give Larsen Bay a straight answer. KIB ASSEMBLY MTG. - June 3, 1982 ! 9 Page 7 Mr. Anderson: I would like to commend the Manager and the Staff for t eir wor on the budget. Also the Assembly for their work on it. I would like to know the progress on moving the road on Mr. Large's property. XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS Len Grothe: When Rezanof Extension was constructed the State destroyed most of the corner stakes on the adjacent lots. There are about twenty-five to thirty properties involved. I would like to know the progress on writing to the State on this. One other thing that has been mentioned to me concerns the salvage of the swimming pool, the aluminum scrap. I understand that it was taken out and reserved for the Borough and the Borough gave it to the School District to be sold for the benefit of the swim team. What transpired there is there was several offers made for that aluminum at substantial amounts of money. I understand they were only given 19¢ a pound for it minus the freight which netted the swim team around $1,600 to $1,800. The offers that were made by reputable people varied from 28t to 60t a pound where is as is. Which would have netted the swim team anywhere from $5,600 to $12,000. I think the School District and the swim team really got shorted on this. XIV ADJOURNMENT Mavor Herrnsteen adjourned the meeting at 10:54 PM. ATTEST: oroug
