A. Memo from Assessor - RE: Application from Mr. Bunting re-
questin• to purchase lots in U. S. Survey 3473 - Mr. White gave
a brief •escription of the lots in question. These lots are
located at Chiniak and are by',the Carrithers' Lake. Mr. White
read Mr. Bunting's request and also Mr. Hickman's memo stating
that this land is still listed as belonging to the Bureau of
Land Management. Mr. White also read a letter that had just
arrived from the State Division of Lands, stating that the Dept.
of Fish and Game has filed a Reserved Use on these particular
lots and no action can be taken on this case. Mr. White did
state that if this land became available for sale we should put
it up for public auction.
B. Request from Mr. Fred Greer - RE: Special Land Use Permit -
Mr. Greer is a land owner in the Bells Flats area and has applied
for a water reserve right from the State, but the State has in
turn requested that Mr. Greer obtain permission from the adjacent
property owners of which the water line will go through. The
Borough happens to be the adjacent property owners and he is re-
questing a letter from the Borough Assembly voicing no objections
of running a water line across the land from Jack Lake. Mr.
White recommends that we voice no objection to the placement of
the line to fulfill his qualifications' to the State. Mr. Powell
had two questions (1) What is the size of the line (2) Is he
selling his water? Because Mr. Greer was not present, it was
suggested that this be put back on the September 6th agenda and
that Mr. Greer be present and also a map of the area to see
where this property is actually located. The assembly concurred.

on an emergency use for technicians and nurses at the hospital.

changed his lease application to two ten acre parcels, these
parcels are-contiguous and are located by a stream. Mr. White
mentioned that this five year lease does -not. have the requirements
of a fifty -five year lease, as you do not have to have a develop-
ment plan, but Mr. McDonald has supplied the Borough with a

area is not in the surveyed forestry cut of Shuyak. Mr. Wood
moved that the Borough approve the requested lease application

AUGUST 16, 1973
(1) Continued
In regards to the Borrow Site Ordinance, Mr. Hickman further
states that the ordinance states that a gravel site cannot
be larger than 20 acres, but does not state it be limited to one
to a customer. He suggests that the Ordinance be changed to
read that we could lease borrow sites only to bonified contractors
who hold a State of Alaska contractor's license. Mr. White
states that this is for the Borough's information.
B. Kodiak Airways Lease - Mr. White does not have any recommendations
on the Kodiak Airways lease at this time, because of the large
difference in the appraisal price. He further stated that by the
next meeting he hopes to have some additional information on this.
C. Lousiana Timber Co. - Mr. White stated that two representatives
from the Lousiana Timber Co. were in the Borough Office. They
wanted to know if the Borough is considering the harvesting of
timber on Shuyak Island or elsewhere? They would like to have
the opportunity to bid or enter into a long term contract with the
Borough. Mr. White also stated that the PeranosaTimber Co. is
proceeding with the surveying of the roads and bridges on Afognak
Island, even though there was a negative attitude at their last
meeting here. He was on Afogank and met one of the surveying crews
the previous night and they stated they have three surveying
crews over there.
X ASSEMBLY COMMENTS
A. Mr. Wood stated that the Boundary Commission will be coming to
Larsen Bay, August 29th to incorporate Larsen Bay as a Second
Class City and he believes that the Borough should send someone
over for this public hearing. Mr. White stated that Larsen Bay
becoming a Second Class City will enable them to receive Shared
Revenue.
B. Mr. White stated that he had a report from Dr. Falcon, on an
epidemic in Old Harbor and that it might be caused from the Water
Supply. Mr. White immediatlly contacted the State and they recti-
fied the problem. It was apparently caused by unsanitary health
problems such as a dump site being to near to the town and other
poor health standards.
XI AUDIENCE COMMENTS
A. Mrs. Heitman asked if when we vote on something, she thought we
should have a majority of four instead of three. Mr. White
stated that a majoirty is three, and when only three members
are present, it would require that all three vote the same way.
B. Mrs. Holt stated that she would like to get the approval from
the assembly on the certified population figure of Kodiak. The
figure she has for the Borough 1s 6,965. They need the approval
from the assembly to complete the replication for Shared Revenue.
Mr. Anderson moved for the certification of the population as
6,965. Seconded by Mr. Wood. Motion passed by unanimous roll
call vote.
C. Mr. White mentioned that the Bristol Bay Borough 1s levyingbalsartaxt
on their raw fish. And he further stated that we should keep a
close watch on this because if it passes, Kodiak could levy .dales tax
on their natural resources. Bristol B,e,y however, is being challenged
by the Union.
