IV. CONSIDERATION OF ASSIGNMENTS. -
Each member of the committee gave full consideration to discussing
the subject of leaves. This involved considering all kinds of
leaves such as: annual leave, sick leave, leave without pay,
special leaves (jury duty, educational leave, etc.), maternity
leaves and holidays.
Chairman Simpler outlined the area of leaves suggested by the
Community Action Council's personnel policy, studied in the past
by Kodiak Island Borough. Comparisons were made with other
municipal personnel policies to get a feel for composing a good
comprehensive leave policy that would provide the best benefits
for all Kodiak Island Borough employees.
V. ASSIGNMENTS.
After thoroughly considering the subject of leaves the committee
members decided to present a comprehensive overall look at the
main subjects that comprise a personnel policy. Each member
volunteered to take one topic, researching and comparing it with
other personnel policies they had for study to provide a complete
outline and consideration of their assignment. Assignments were
as follows:
Lorna Arndt -------- Retirement & Health Insurance
Wayne Coleman ------ Classification of Employment
(Including general rules and recruitment)
Robert Dunham ------ Personnel Boards
Frank Parker ------- Grievance Procedures
Harold Ward------- Employee Performance Evaluation and
Job Descriptions

V. ASSIGNMENTS (Continued).
All main topics having been assigned, Chairman Simpler decided
he would provide informational guidance and present a topic to
be announced at the next meeting.
VI. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.
Chairman Simpler requested the Secretary to check into the
standing of the Kodiak Island Borough Ordinance Number 74-9-0.
His question had to do with whether or not the ordinance was
Just a list of amendments made to an original Kodiak Island
Borough Personnel Policy or was it the personnel policy.
Another question presented for research had to do with applying
for credit on annual and sick leave. Could an employee be
advanced leave time in an emergency situation if they had not
accumulated enough time already to allow for the time the em-
ployee would be absent from work? This would allow an employee
to apply the time off to a later period of time when the
appropriate amount of leave time had been accumulated to cover
the time off.
The committee members also requested that Mr. Denslow contact
the State of Alaska to gain information on the Alaska Public
Retirement System, requesting brochures on same for each member
of the Citizen Advisory Committee for Personnel Policy.
Investigation of Title 9 of the Federal Statutes regarding
maternity leave was also requested to be done by Mr. Denslow
or the Secretary. This was requested in order to provide know-
ledge as to what would be federally required of the personnel
policy as regards maternity leave.
VII. MEETING SCHEDULE.
The next meeting was scheduled for March 28, 1977, Monday, at
8:00 p.m. in the Borough Conference Room. This date and time
was chosen to allow the Borough Manager, Mr. Denslow, to meet
with the committee and discuss job descriptions and other re-
lated matters.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at
9:25 p.m.
