study is necessary
Class A Dasketball T inrent - Mr. Jackson asked that consideration be given to
participation of the Borough in funding this Class A /current.
RC Building - 1Ir. Jackson suggested that perhaps the KC Building could be used
for classrooms rather than trailers for the stool. During the discussion it
was noted that there are many new reader units that world be quite suitable for
stool classrooms.
The matter of the land around the ACS site was brought up and noted that there is
possibility that RCA will not be needing all the lad and this will be available
to the Borough for wool purposes.
B. Mr. Sims re Roof fled for the Baranof' House - the National Bails of Alaska

has set aside $1300 for this repair. An additional $1700 is needed at this time
for the completion. The Borough Chairman stated that this is a community project
and was not sure that the other areas outside the city would like to contribute
to such a project. flirther pointed out that by giving fads from both the City
and to Borough the taxpayer in the city was in fact contributing twice. Similar
projects have come up in the past and the main sat of funds have always been
the City and the Borough and in reality the funds should be sought from one or
the other and not both. Mr. Fired iahrl noted that there is a possibility that
the fads will not be matted by NBA as the City is using the disaster funds that
were not from local contributions. The maintenance of the Daranof House does haw
value to all of the Borough as a part of the histtay of the amenity and a value
as a tourist attraction.
