First to speak was Mr. Jeff Collins. He believes that this ordinance is subjective and that the Borough should not be bound by law to vote and that we will have a very difficult time to pass anything. Mr. Collins further stated that the constitution was amended to conform with the U. S. Supreme Court decision on One man one vote. Next ':o r — lak was Mrs. Louise Collins: She had three suggested solutions for the Assembly to thin:: about (1) Three Enough members should be elected at large, two designated from the City and two elected at large to represent the city (2) Three members from the Borough; one from the City and three elected at large from the City (3) Divide the Borough into districts and have one from each district; she further stated that if duel seats were designated on the City Council, she believes that people inside the City should serve on the Borough Assembly without being on the City Council. Also present voicing their objections were Mr. Dean Taylor, Mrs. Jo Hajdu, who questioned if the population figure was correct, tor. Mil Zahn, Mr. Okey Chandler, Mr. Royal Large, Mr. Jack McBride, Mr. Mark Simpson, and Mr. Betty Wallin. Mr. Powell closed the public hearing and reconvened the regular meeting. Mr. Brechan stated that the compensai _on part should not be included in the reapportionment ordinance. Mr. Nelson stated that the suggestions nade by. Mrs. Collins were good and that he believes there should not be a weighted vote. He would also like to see people from the City elected at large. Mr. Powell stated that this ordinance really does not change any- thing, it merely requires a weighted vote instead of it being optional. He further stated that the City Council members who are on the Assembly represent the citizens of Kodiak and not only the City Council and that he is personnally opposed to the manditory provision in this ordinance. nuestion being called for motion failed on the following roll call vote: Mr. Brechan NO, Mr. Nelson - NO;rMr. Anderson (weighted vote) NO(2); Mr. Powell (weighted vote) NO (2).
