officers. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. The officers
for the 1990 year are Chairman Bill Beaty and Vice -Chairman James
Wheeler.
Mr. Camardella suggested limiting the length of the meetings to 1 1/2
hours to keep the meetings productive. The Board agreed.
B. Kodiak Island Hospital CT Scan Installation
Mr. Camardella presented three plans for the Board to review. The
Board expressed concern with Plan B because downtime on the
generators would cause the hospital to be without power.

(Mr. Ford arrived at 7:44 p.m.)
/ Mr. Camardella said approval of an architectural/engineering contract
is being requested at the Thursday Assembly meeting to award Kumin
Associates, Inc. $19,550 to prepare and design documents for the
installation of the CT Scan.
Discussion ensued on the three plans. The difference between Plan C
and B is that the generators do not have to be disconnected. Some
asbestos on the electrical boiler piping will have to be dealt with.
The storage building could be built without affecting the hospital,
and then the existing storage room could be remodeled for the CT
Scan.
Mr. Stan Thompson, Kodiak Island Hospital employee, said that Plan B
would be best. He asked if the generators could be housed in the new
storage building. Mr. Camardella replied that it would be possible
to build as two separate projects --one design contract, two
construction contracts. The CT Scan will be here in May.
Mr. Heinrichs indicated that Plan C seemed a better utilization of
the monies. A motion was made by Mr. Heinrichs and seconded by Mr.
Ford to recommend to the Assembly that Plan C be implemented because
it is the most cost effective. Roll call vote with four ayes, one
no, and one abstention. Motion carried.
The parking issue was discussed by the Board members. Staff was
directed to look at additional parking as an alternate.
C. New Kodiak Island Hospital Design & Development Documents Status
Report
Mr. Camardella presented an update. A peer review of the documents
was done. One apparent thing is that there was not much
correspondence between the design team and staff at the Borough
during design. Mr. Camardella met with the design team about two
weeks ago in Seattle after Mr. Higdon was here. It doesn't seem
appropriate to start with a new design because of the monies already
paid. A new design team would not take responsibility for the
present documents. While in Seattle, the architect responded in a
very reasonable manner. He said if they made a mistake, he would
respond to it. Mr. Camardella didn't think the engineering firm
responded well. The firm did not do an item by item response. The
peer review structural engineer did not have calculations. The
calculations were mailed to him and Coffman Engineers agreed to
contact the peer reviewer to go through the items so a conclusion can
be reached. Mr. Camardella talked with Craig Comartin today and got
the feeling the engineering firm doesn't want to spend more time but
does want to continue relationship. The next step is to get a
decision from Mr. Allen. If no decision is made, Mr. Camardella will
go back to Mr. Higdon and tell him he has a problem. Mr. Camardella
left a list --code upgrade, etc. --with Mr. Rigdon and a June 1, 1990,
finish date.

The crawl space versus the slab on grade was discussed. It would be
a major redesign to get a crawl space.
(Mr. Shuttlesworth left at 8:38 p.m.)
D. Kodiak High School Locker Project
The Board viewed the drawings for the installation of the new
lockers. A motion was made by Mr. Chase and seconded to accept the
drawings and specifications. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
E. Selief Lane/Von Scheele Seal Coat Project
The seal coat will increase the life of the road by five years. The
bike path is being bid as an alternate. A motion was made by Mr.
Chase and seconded to accept the design with adequate inspection by
the city engineer or private consultants. Motion carried by
unanimous voice vote.
F. Monashka Bay/Womens Bay Wastewater and Water Systems Status Report
The planholders list presently has 36 requests for the proposal, and
there have been two site visits by engineering firms from Anchorage.
Questions have been asked about specific time periods. It was put in
the proposal for them to respond with what they can do. The
responsibilities of a selection committee was discussed.
An open-end contract for architect/engineering services was discussed.
This would eliminate the need for selection for every project. Two teams
would be available, one for vertical and one for horizontal construction.
Mr. Camardella said funding will become available for painting the
exterior of three village schools.
The replacement of East Elementary School roof was discussed as a priority
project.
V. BOARD COMMENTS
Mr. Wheeler asked about the Chiniak Emergency Building. Mr. Camardella
said he will be going out to look at it.
