1975-03-06 Regular Meeting1 1 1 , 2 n S KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY MARCH 6, 1975 I CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Presiding Officer Sven Haakanson, at 7:35 p.m. in the Borough Meeting Room, Borough Building, Kodiak. II ROLL CALL Present Mr. Ross Wood, Borough Mayor Mr. Sven Haakanson, Presiding Officer Dr. Michael Cathey, Deputy Presiding Officer Mr. Alex Panamaroff, Jr. Mr. Nicholas Pestrikoff Mr. Wilton White Also present: Mr. Warren Colver, Borough Attorney, Mr. Will Garin Borough Planner , Mr. Ed Haney Borough Assessor, and approximately fifty people in the audience. I11 MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS MEETING A. Assembly - Regular - February 6. 1975. Mr. White moved that the minutes be approved as submitted and available to theJ I1hlir. carnnd►d by Mr Pectrikoff. Mr. Haakanson questioned the approval of the minutes as presented as on Page 5, there was no notation of the ruling by the Chair on the weighted vote. Mr. Haakanson further stated that he had made the ruling at the beginning of the meeting and that this ruling stood for the entire meeting. Mr. White stated that he would continue to stand on his position that the weighted vote is valid and will count on all issues to which it is applicable. At this point the Presiding Officer, Mr. Haakanson, requested a ruling from the Borough Attorney. Mr. Colver noted that the opinion written in November 1974 pointed out that the superior court had in some cases passed a ruling against the weighted vote, however the question at this time was on the use of the weighted vote for an interim period. No ruling has been handed down on this interim use by the Supreme Court as it has never been presented to the court. In the Juneau case the weighted vote was held unconstitutional by the superior court; further that institutional represention along with the weighted vote did not apply and was settled without going any farther. Mr. Colver further noted that in two cases the weighted vote was apparently ruled unconstitutional, however under Title 7 of the Alaska Statutes the weighted vote was protected. At this point of time, until this is decided by the highest court in the state some areas will probably continute to use the weighted vote. Mr. Haakanson restated that the Chair did not recognize the weighted vote because it was not legal and that until a final ruling had been received he felt the use was against the law. To the statement that the question before the Assembly at this time was the approval of the minutes, Mr. Haakanson replied • that if the minutes were approved we would be approving the weighted vote and the Chair did not accept the weighted vote. The question was again asked of the Attorney if the weighted vote could be used in the interim time. Mr. Colver again stated that It had not been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. Mr. White asked that the record show his intent to use the weighted vote on subjects to which it could be applied. Mr. Colver replied again to the question on an opinion on the weighted vote; noting that he does not have an opinion from the highest court who would have to decide this. On the question whether or not during the interim time does the weighted vote prevail, Mr. Colver stated there is no final decision that says it does not. 1 1 1 1? n I S KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING - MARCH 6, 1975 Page 2 Mr. Haakanson asked for the Borough Mayor's opinion on this matter; Mr. Wood pointed out the action taken by the Assembly in 1973 at which time they voted down an ordinance on weighted voting.

All I can tell you is what is law at this point and the point is the lower courts have ruled that in some cases it was unconstitutional but not add g t -- to where a Borough Assembly in this case attempts to reapportion If its done on a reasonable and due hastily basis then evidently during that time they have held that the weighted vote may be used as an interim measure. Mr. Haakanson again asked for the opinion of the Borough Mayor, who asked why the City was concerned about had chance to down and discuss . d the that the assembly mint utilization of f the weighted voting and it is possible that the assembly may not be able to consider itself a legal body without the weighted vote.

The differences nted between Sister lease agreement and the operational agreement the p oeme o Si Patti was present to answer any questions for deficits in hospital operation and the fact that Borough eBo b roughwould not for all intents and purposes have any control. Scher r Patti pointed ma out that the hospital does have a Board of Trustees, body and advises the Administrator. Although the hospital has had to borrow money in the past nearly all of this loan has been repaid. The Borough does have the right to review the records and operations of the hospital. In reply to the rates for the hospital, Sister Patti stated that the rates have recently been raised and that the increase in operation costs were taken into consid eration for the 1975 budget. The Hospital does have an audit done every year and the Borough would have the opportunity to suggest changes at that time. Since the hospital or rather the Corporation has very little equipment it was suggested that the Borough carry all insurance on the equipment, to be imbursed by the Corporation if they have any equipment. In answer to the question regarding the proposed extended care unit, Sister Patti noted that it will not take away from the acute care beds. In many cases patients have to stay in the hospital for longer periods of time and do not have such a facility to be transferred to; this results sometimes in inability to collect all the charges from medicare and medicaid. When asked if the Corporation would be adverse to the removal of the clause regarding deficits, Sister be obtained Ptti stated i funds Borough then the Corporation would be forced c not to go to om the the bank.

There was considerable discussion on the fact that this particular action was taken by a unanimous vote and further that there is only a short time before the new budget will be started. The Borough Mayor stated that although a raise was given in July 1974 he did not feel that it was enough and would request this cost of living increase. Mr. White stated that in December 1974, the City Council had reviewed a recommendation from the Personnel Board and had accepted the recommendation of $110 per month cost of living allowance effective I December 1974. The Personnel Board had given a considerable amount of study to this and that after a close review had made this recommendation. The members of the personnel board are Father Hall, R. A.

Since the ordinance contains a good bit of detail it was requested that the ordinance be read in full for the benefit of the members of the audience. The Mayor read the ordinance. Dr. Cathey stated that since this was only available to the assembly members the previous evening, he would request the origin and the reason for this ordinance. The Attorney, Warren Colver, noted at this time that he had not prepared the ordinance and that in fact this was the first that he had seen of it. The Borough Mayor stated that he had not prepared the ordinance, and to the question as to whether or not this came from the representatives outside the City the answer was no. It was suggested that a person's moral integrity should also be considered when they are seeking office. Further suggested that if this type of ordinance is passed it should include all members of all committees as the committees have considerable influence on the passage of ordinances and regulations. Mr. White pointed out that this would have far reaching aspects and that deep consideration should be given before something like this is passed. However he did state that if he had to he would make the disclosures, he would not resign his position because of an ordinance such as this. Several members of the audience requested the origin of the ordinance, no comments were made by the Mayor. Several noted that this could be a deterrent in seeking qualified Individuals to run for office.

Since the resolution has been passed it was felt that additional public hearings should be held on this matter. There are many different methods and all should be explore d before being placed on the ballot. Mr. White suggested that perhaps the night prior to the regular assembly meeting a briefing session could be held to discuss agenda items. Mr. Wood stated that he would set up additional public hearings on reapport- ionment and take care of the necessary advertisements. X AUDIENCE COMMENTS A. Mr. Szabo requested that something be done about the weighted vote question as it appears that the Borough's regular business cannot be carried on until this is settled. Mr. Szabo noted that the Borough Attorney says the weighted vote stands and that its legal and would think that the burden of proof would lie on those that challenge the weighted vote. Mr. Colver, attorney, replied that the lower courts have declared the weighted vote un- constitution; has not been taken to the higher courts and although this is accepted in some areas, the Chairman has determined that he feels that the weighted vote is unconstitutional and he does not recognize it. Mr. White stated that although the Presiding Officer has taken this stand it does not mean that this is the final word, this is not accepted as the final legal action. Mr. White furthr stated that this is why he is insisting that his vote be filed as a weighted vote on each issue to which it is applicable. Mrs. Betty Wallin stated that she had served on the Assembly for one year and that Chuck Powell, then presiding officer, controlled the weighted vote and used it whenever it was needed to have something passed. B. Mr. Schneider commented on the passage of the ordinance to waive the bid requirements and suggested that the assembly should be very careful in this as It might leave the Borough in a very unfavorable position. Further that even though the bid requirements were waived this should have no effect on the re- quirements for bonding. Mr. Schneider asked about the sale of the land in Port Lions and whether or not this would be conducted as a public auction as required by the State Statutes. Mr. White replied that Port Lions would be governed by the same regulations as the Borough or State in the sale of land. Mr. Schneider asked about the publication costs of the newsletter recently mailed to property owners. Mr. Wood replied that this was bid at about $1200, he did not have the final billing, however this was a budgeted item. C. Mr. Will Gariss commented as a member of the audience and from experience regarding community operation of a hospital, that he had been in a community that was faced with the completen operation of a hospital and that it had proved very expensive. It might be well to consider the backing of a good operation rather than being faced with the total package. D. Mr. John Welch commented on the fact that a few years ago the hospital was in financial difficulty and that the community as a whole pitched in to help; he pointed this out to cite the feelings of the community. Mr. Hank Eaton asked what responsibility the Borough would have if the Grey Nuns could no longer ootrate the hospital. It was noted that the Borough has the health powers, however if the Porough supports the hospital there should be some say about tho spcndin; of the (rune/. This would not mean interference withthe operation. D. Mr. Szabo asked abo•.n the status of the rock quarry. A letter has been written to Mr. Grotha and the borough attorney is to advise the next procedure. 1 0 1 - t 0 1 1 5 KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING - MARCH 6, 1975 Page 9 E. Mrs. McFarland asked about the origin and intent of the financial disclosure ordinance. No comment was made. F. Mr. Chase asked about the blastings that have occurred in the last few days in the Borough and if there are regulations regarding permits. Mr. Wood gave instructions to the staff to call the State Troopers on Friday to determine if there are requirements for permits. G. Jeannie Grothe requested to know the origin and intent of the financial disclosure ordinance, Mr. Wood noted that he had no comments.
