COMMUNICATIONS.
The Committee turned their attention to Mr. Denslow, Borough
Manager, when he was asked to give a verbal report. Mr. Denslow
reconfirmed the fact that the Personnel Policy Committee was not
under any pressure of a deadline to accomplish their objective.
He reported that he was glad to be of assistance in providing
the Committee further information on the Alaska Public Retirement
System from the State. In further discussion of the Alaska Public
Retirement Sustem, it was found to be taylor-made for public in-
stitutions and provided a supplement to the Social Security System,
The Kodiak Island Borough could be eligible for such with modest
procedures for qualifying and the timelines for qualification were
considerably short. Mr. Denslow asked the Committee to consider
their recommendations in terms of cost to the Borough also. The
Alaska Public Retirement System could be provided to the Borough
employees at a minimal cost.
The Mental Health Center and Council on Alcoholism are two estab-
lishments that are also without personnel policies and would like
to benefit from such. Mr. Denslow reported that they too may want
to take advantage of a retirement system and it would not be in
conflict with their organization. The Hospital may also want to
benefit from the policy fringe benefits, in which case, the door
would be left open for them to participate in the program. Thought
should also be given to Senior Citizens, even though they were
basicly State funded, some backing was provided by the Borough.
CONSIDERATION OF ASSIGNMENTS.
Chairman Simpler turned the meeting over to Wayne Coleman for con-
sideration of a past assignment of super -imposing Ketchikan's
personnel policy outline with that of Chairman Simpler's, provided
at an earlier date.

VI. COMMENTS
COMMITTEE FOR PE4ON4EL POLIO
Discussion led to the topic of Automobile Insurance. Concern
was expressed over the fact that the Borough did not have liabilit
insurance coverage for personnel operating their own vehicle for
Borough business. The Borough is trying to be cost effective
but yet provide answers to the legal and fiscal problem presented
by such. In trying to provide a 'solution, three options were pre-
sented but no conclusion was reached. The options were:
1) Leasing Employee's
2) Car Pool Owned by
3) Borough Pay Extra
