Change Order on the Ouzinkie School Project - There were two changes which have been received by the Borough One was changing the top of the corridor into a storage use area.

D. Letter from CCC /HOK - Ouzinkie School Project - Mr. White read the correspcndence from CCC /H0K declaring a maintainance problem on the sewer line, water line, and oil tank. Mr. 'White gave a short resume on the back- ground of defeciencies of Lnstallation of the sewer line. An inspection had been made of the Ouzinkie School Project and the Borough Chairman informed the Assembly of three problem areas. In order to com- ply with the wishes of the residents of Ouzinkie, the natural cover and trees were to be disturbed as little as possible. In order to do this the architects' consulting engineer approved the installation by method of a hand dug trench to a depth of two feet and the pipe laid in a zig -zag course through the trees. Because of this method, clean outs were re- quired between manholes that project 1 foot above the ground. The Building Inspector objected that there had been a change in materials used. They had cemented pipe joints, which could possibly break. A complete test has not been made on the site as of yet. The oil tank is situated above the school and has not been diked. A letter from the sanitarian stated that the diking of the oil tank will be necessary. The architect has been put on notice that these items are not acceptable and the Borough Cha man has asked for the Borough Assembly's concurrence to withhold payment for these items and further payment from the architect until this is settled in an acceptable manner. The assembly members were in agreement with this course of action. The Building Inspector was asked to sub- mit a memo concerning his recommendation in relocating the oil tank. ;4r. Powell also stated that we check with Roy Madsen on this matter. D. Information Concerning Dog Control - We have had a re- quest from two people concerning dog control on Spruce Cape Road. No was in the audience, so no action was taken. The Assembly was advised that information had been secured from other Boroughs, and is available. E. Letter from Coro of Engineers - Disposal of Waste - 4EA Informal action had been taken on this at a special meet- ing held on November 8, 1972. Now it was brought to the Assembly for formal action.

Letter from Corp of Engineers - Northern Processers - permit to construct a dock extension to their plan. G. Letter from Ccrp of Engineers - Northern Processers - permit to construct a grid, bulkhead, and fill and to relocate existing dock.

Letter from Corp of Engineers - Afognak Timber Coro - permit to build a temporary barge ramp - Mr. White stated that since 1967 the Borough has gone on record as opposing the Afognak Timber Sale.

Appeal of Planning and Zoning action regarding Lot 26, U. S. Survey 309: - Shockley and Eufemio. Mr. White called for an exception rather than to rezone, and for the reason that the developers are in a position to hook up to City sewer and water. If the entire area were rezoned, it is unlikely that others could meet these requirements, so he recommended spot zoning. Mr. Holt gave the opinion of the Planning & Zoning's action on this case. Mr. Shockley stated that he would be willing to go to a R -1 classification. Mr. Powell asked for a motion to rezone to a R -1 classifi- cation. Mr. Anderson so moved. Seconded by rlr.

But the question is where does the mill go, if they are in fact going to cut the timber. If it goes somewhere besides Kodiak, we will receive money only from the stumpage. The Borough has a policy to make tax concessions to no one. Mr. Anderson stated if ttei are going to cut, he is all for having the mill in Kodiak, but in the meantime he opposes the stated tn_c Mr. Holm head of the Conservation Society, this would be a Japanese run project: also that he opposed putting the mill in Kodiak and the cutting Afognak Timber.
