V COMMUNICATION AND APPEARANCE FEQLFSTS

There was a lengthy discussion on the need for the school in. Ouzinkie and
several members of the audience expressed the needs and desires of the
Community for this school. Frs. :iorman Smith, Fin. Hank Eaton, Fir. John Suddcc
and many others asked questions concerning the necessary steps at this point
to insure that the funding is still available and the possibility of seeking
additional funding for any other source for this construction. The question
of power to the school was brought up and by the elimination of the generator
HEW reouires that positive. evidence be given that the school will have power.
Mr. Greene, School Superintendent, indicated that he had a ltterlfrom the eupc
attorney for Glacier Bay Packing Company that this company is
power to the school. The School system has been on the present electrical
system run by the City of Ouzinki.e for a month's trial and this was found to
be sufficient power and will be used in an emergency. Should the Glacie
rf Bay
Packing Company decide to leave Ouzinicie in the future, representatives
the Village indicated that the city itself will be installing its own system
and could furnish that necessary poorer to the school. The trailer for the
teacher's residence has been purchased and requires only to be moved to the
site for installation.
The School District Administration and the Borough Administrative Staff will
continue to seek all federal and state funding possible. It was noted tha
the Borough will have to become more active with federal legit rini
in s he
area of construction. At present the system is receiving sla
itrbursement for capital projects rather than the one -half as anticipated.
Mr. Arndt asked about putting the Shuyak. Timber up for sale and using the
money from that for the schools; however it was noted that this land is tie
up in the Native Lands Claims Act at this time.
P ir. Greene said that HEW had agreed to the point of power being supplies
Glacier Bay Packing Company, but that prior to any bids being awarded t:.=.
would make another review of the matter before the money is issued. It -
further noted that the money is not in the hands of the Borough but is
in reserve by HEW designated for the school district.
Mr. Eaton asked that a statement be issued by the Borough as to their t -
an this matter in order that the representatives there might have socetr.
to report to their respective groups.
Mr. White stated that the Ouzlnkie School is currently under considers' -
has been for the past two years, has progressed through two bids and
being negotiated on to reach a price that has been set aside for that -
struction. The Borough will continue to seek funds and resources noes
to complete the Ouzink e School project at the earliest possible date.
Mr. Arndt felt that the school will be completed before this year is c.t.
The Assembly's concern is that the voters designated or authorized a =--
amount for the construction of the school and andohl b i autr
can the Assembly go. The building of
in the Borough.
