VIII OLDBUSINESS
0 4 7 5 n
A. Revision No. 1 from Smaker Electronics on the cost of the radio for the
Kodiak Island Hospital, this revision is a change in the cost made by the
contractor. It eliminates the call stations. The proposed figure now
is $1676.78, without the call statism, the previous figure was *2973.60.
The call stations are little units the doctors carry around with them and
when tyre is an emergency, a buzzer will go off, warning them of this
emergency. The question Mr. White wanted to know if the assembly wanted to
proceed with the previous submittal or accept this proposed revision.
The primary need is for a communisation system and the doctor/hospital
conmmication is only secondary. Mr. Smatter gave a brief explanation of the
rescue system. Mr. Wood moved that we authorize the borough Chairman to go
ahead with the urchase of the radio for the h ital without the call

line. They wanted to run a lire along the back side of the main road, so
It would enable people who lived along there to hoots up without addl^' nal
expense of a lift station. Certain other people in this area would a:so
like the line nun along the backside. The City is proposing to put r sewer
line in the future. The Borough Administration's stand on this matter Is
that certain concessions were made on the subdivision and it is the

not be allowed to complete the development until they hook up to water rnd

E. Mr. White had some questions about the adopted policy ,,the school board
had adopted. Some questions were:
(1) The Board has exclusive responsibility for all school policy
(2) The Board shall submit its recommendations to the Borough Assembly
for final approval, formulating the plans for the location of needed
school facilities.
(3) The board is charged with the selection of architects
(4) The board will act as agent for the Borough Assembly in coorlydinating
the work of architects and engineers of school facilities approving
final plans, specifications and other contract documents, submitting such
documents in each case with appropriate analysis and recommendations to
the Assembly for final approval.
(5) All orders of change to the contract shall be first received and
approved by the School Board before being submitted to the Borough Assembly
for final action.
(6) Following Assembly approval to hold a general obligation bond election
for school facilities the Board has the responsibility of preparing for
public dissemination supporting information on the bond needs. The Board
had added responsibility of recommending for Assembly approval the
schedules of band sales for school facilities. The Borough should be
responsible for publishing information on the school bond. Mr. White
would like to suggest the above requests to be reconsidered. We should.
not dilute or relinquish the responsibilities of the Borough.
F. Mr. White stated that the school budget was presented to the Borough on
the 28th of March, during a work session between the•School Board and the
Borough Assembly. He stated that we reed another work session and also

office.
0. We have mailed out letters of proposal to three auditing firms, which
are: (1) Main LaFrantz, (2) Arthur Young and Co. (3) Peat, Marwick &
Mitchell, for our 1973 audit. All three caipanies have responded showing
interest in our audit. Mr. White stated that he is looking for a firm
that would continue over a certain period of time instead of having a
different firm every year. He would also like to have the firm care 4
times during the year, perhaps at the end of each quarter, to see if our
books were balanced so there would not be such a problem when they care
at th end of the fiscal year.
H. The Borough Chairman and the Borough Assessor have discussed the situation
of having an assistant assessor in helping him with assessment. A four
year updating plan for the entire Borough has been discussed.

five acres with someone who would want to buy it. Mr. White explained
the reason :._L7 this section was put in the ordinance was to help in straight -
erging out property lines of owners or when the Borough foreclosed on lard
they could straighten lines under this ordinance. It was not the intent
of the Ordinance to sell people land whenever they wanted to buy five acres
or less. He stated that Mr. Iar-,e was correct in his intentions in asking

disposal. Mn. Wood moved that the Borough authorize the Chairman to
