Fospital Site Work Bid Selby reviewed final grading and clearing plan.
TFere is a 10 tt. hole to be filled. Trees to be stacked for firewood, as
they could not make a deal for lumber credit. 5,000 cu. yds. of top soil
will be stockpiled on site for future landscaping. 35,00 cu. yds. to fill
hole to come from site. Approximately $5,000 has been spent on site
investigation. Austerman felt more should be spent for a project this size
to be sure what we're getting into. Bid opening has been postponed to
mid -Oct. Entire site will be prepared. Building site will be dug to bed-
rock and built up.
Disposal of
Clinic Site Andy Cristaldi has private party
interested in
o taming parcel adjacent to hospital
for private clinic to
be joined to
hospital by
covered walkway. If all
plans and funding
go smoothly,
hospital could be built in 2-3 years.
Hospital Board should
review prior
to preparing
RFP. Original price of land was $400,000. Parcel
for clinic
has not been
appraised. Assembly will
meet with board on October 29.
VFW Gravel Disposal VFW would like to trade rock to contractor in ex-
change for rifle range development. It would cost $150,000 - 200,000 to
develop. Felton would cover cost by sales of rock. Assembly was op-
posed to suspending the borough's $.75lcu. yd. VFW should try to deal
with Felton with this in mind.
Economic Development Seed Funds Port Lions would like some funding for
travel to Seward to pursue floating processor to come to Port Lions.
Blankenburg felt policy should be written to itemize what can be consid-
ered for funding. Several assemblymembers felt policy should be case by
case. Austerman felt this request was out of the realm he envisioned for
use of this money. Blankenburg noted that if this is so important to Port
Lions, they should find themoney to do it. He also felt this would open
the door to every good idea everyone comes up with. Barker was in favor
and felt it is small price to pay for the benefit to Port Lions. White felt
policy should be in match funding and Auster added that Economic Devel-
opment Committee should review requests prior to assembly.
