II ROLL CALL Present Mr. Wilton White, Borough Chairman Mr. Charles Powell, Presiding Officer Mr. Dennis Nelson Mr. Fred Brechan Mr. Ross Wood Mr. Howard Anderson Also in the audience were: Mr. J.D. Fulp, Mr. Sam Gimelli, Mr. Tom Sweeney, Mr. Leo Bourbeau, Mr. Art Johnson, and Mrs. Marilyn Peterson. III BUSINESS TO BE DISCUSSED A. Decision from Attorney regarding acceptance of Ouzinkie School Project - Mr. White explained the situation be- tween Northland Construction Company and the Borough. He talked with Roy Madsen about how the contractor made small changes at the job site without making out a change order. There was an inspection made on Monday, December 4, 1972 and the Contractor states that he is 99% finished and our Engineer states that they are 85 -90* finished. The question is, can we in fact, accept the Job with unfinished work and unfinished pay. There many small problems with the Ouzinkie School Project: (1) Such as one case of tile was dropped and damaged during the process. Now it is put up in one of the class- rooms and if looked at closely you will notice the damage done to these tiles. (2) Joints need to be re- nailed (3) The wiring of the light fixtures need to be done in the play area. The play area is not heated, and the contractor is putting interior light fixtures in an exterior condition. Mr. Powell suggested we take our engineer's exceptions and accept them. We should accept the building less the deficiencies of the contractor. The contractor should complete these ex- ceptions by the first of July. Mr. Powell entertained a motion that we accept the building with the ex- ceptions as noted by our engineer, as long as we are withholding that portion that it costs to do the Job. Mr. Wood feels that the Borough should communicate with the Village of Ouzinkie and let them know more about the school project. Mr. Brechan so moved that the job as presented for the Ouzinkie School Project be accepted with the exceptions of the items now in question, mainly the sewer line, water line, and oil tank and any other item with regards to our in- spector's recommendation. Seconded by Mr. Nelson. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. B. Emergency Ordinance No. 72 -28 -E0 - To authorize a loan of money in the amount of $15,000 to be paid $5,000 for the next three months, for financial obligations of the Hospital. Mr. Brechan moved for the adoption of Emergency Ordinance 72- 28 -EO. Seconded by Mr. Anderson. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. 0 1 1 1 1 4 7 2 8 SPECIAL KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY MEETING PAGE 2 DECEMBER 12, 1972 C. Review and decision regarding the Borough Insurance Study. Mr. White stated that Mr. Greene suggested that we might consider a possible date other than December 15th. He suggested that the opening date be March 15th or 31st and the effective date be either April 1 or July 1. Mr. Powell read a letter from Mr. Art Johnson, of Island Insurance, on the renewal of the Borough Insurance Policy. The items to be insured are Fidelity Bonding, Fire & Liability (School). Mr. Powell recommends that we renew the policy and put it up for bid. Mr. Sweeney described the policy of having separate entities. The Borough having the Kodiak Island Borough, the Kodiak Island School District, and Kodiak Island Hospital. He also stated that Mr. Jones was not aware of the school fishing boat in the program. Mr. Sweeney and Mr. Johnson, both felt that Mr. Jones did not have enough information on the Borough Insurance Study. Mr. Powell recommended that we accept Mr. Jones suggestion and renew the policy that is expiring Friday, December 15, 1972, and put out a bid. We may be penalized, but we would save money in the long run. Mr. Nelson moved that the Borough go ahead with the recommendation of the consultant and the regular payment be made on the fire policy and expiring policies. Seconded by Mr. Wood. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. Mr. White recommended that a completed policy year fall within a fiscal year. He suggested that March 15, 1973 be the opening date and the effective date be July 1 and the policy be measured on a 3 year term with annual anniversary payment. He also stated that each entity should remain divided instead of combined into one single unit or package in order to reapportion cost to proper entity. Mr. Wood moved to accept Mr. White's recommendation, with the stipulation that the Ouzinkie School be picked up automatically and the new High School be picked up when accepted. Mr. Anderson seconded the motion. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Brechan stated that the assembly should be informed on the Pacific Fire Rating and how they go about rating. Mr. Powell recommends that Mr. White contact Mr. Jones on our policies and bid specification and perhaps ask that he attend the next meeting. D. Review and decision regarding Policy of Air Trans portation for Kodiak - Mr. White had a luncheon with the Mayor, Blake McKinely, and the City Manager, and other members of the Chamber of Commerce on the policy of Wien Airlines service to Kodiak. They each were to have the opinions of the members of each group.on their stand of Wien's service. Mr. White stated that we were getting the worst service of any airline in twenty years. Mr. Powell stated that it has been the Councils approach on the poor air service to Kodiak. I4r. White recommends that we o on record by Resolution to CAB on taking a stand that Kodiak is getting the lowest passenger service we have ever had in many years: Mr. Brechan moved that a Resolution be prepared based on Mr. White's recommenda- tions.
