She also felt that a 46 minute meeting was not long enough for the personnel policy committee to thoroughly discuss the cost of living, *COLA figures presented. Mr. Denslow stated there were four COLA figures to be considered, two of which were identical. Mrs. Arndt, a member of the personnel advisory council and now of the personnel policy committee, stated that many hours had been devoted to previous discussions and study of this and other personnel policy matters before the meeting of January 31. The members were thoroughly familiar with the subject. Mrs. Wallin asked Mr. Denslow to explain. He stated that the Personnel Policy Advisory Board had functioned for nine months to prepare the document that is now the Personnel Policy Ordinance. This committee now functions as the Personnel Policy Committee. They devoted a great deal:of time and effort to this end and were thoroughly familiar with the facts and material before the formation of the Personnel Policy Committee. At no cost to the borough they reviewed the personnel documents of all the was discussed m a s t ject monthearliereatoa 'boroughtassembly work session.

Schedule for Structures in Occupancy Groups I E J. Mrs. Wasson read Ordinance #78 -5 -0. Mrs. Wallin closed the regular session and opened the public hearing. Mr. Mulitalo explained that at present the borough does not use a rate per square foot, instead it uses a rate of valuation of the building. No one spoke for or against the ordinance. Public hearing closed; regular meeting reopened. Mr. Peotter noted that in the last line it read ''per square feet" instead of "per square foot'. Correction noted. As it stands now, the valuation is determined by the applicant which might vary from that of the borough. Mr. Mulitalo pointed out that Group I pertains to one and two family units, Group J to accessory buildings and that commercial buildings fall into another category. There is a great difference between the valua- tions of I and J and commercial. Mrs. Wasson moved to accept Ordinance #78 -5 -0 with the correction of ''feet" to "foot ". Seconded by Mr. Logan. It was explained that the figure, .7532, was worked out at a work session. Mr. Jack asked if the borough rates were equitable to the city rates. It was pointed out that this is actually a reduction from the previous rates. Mr. Williams moved to amend the motion to r2ad .7 in lieu of .7532. Motion died for lack of a second. Main motion carried with Mr. Jack and Mr. Williams casting NO votes. Mr. Jack moved to bring the building permit schedule in line with the city's rates on Groups'I and J. Motion died for lack of a second. B. Ordinance #78 -6 -0 Calling for the Establishment and Provision of Special Services for Sewer. Water and Roads in Service District I of the Mill Bay- Monashka Service Area, and Resolution #78 -18 -R Setting Date. 1. Ordinance #78 -6 -0. Dr. Emmick read Ordinance 178 -6 -0 omitting the property description. Mrs. Wallin closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing. Lorna Arndt: Stated she is all for the ordinance; she pointed out the EPA help to start this program and reminded of their stipulations. She stressed the need for these services. Emil Norton, Miller Point, Second Subdivision: Does not want the services in his area but feels that if Island Lake area needs the services, they should have them. Stated that if and when the Mill Bay area needs the services they should petition for them but not at the present time. Mr. Logan: Explained that this service district I will not demand that the entire area take these services. Each individual area within the service district that wants and needs these services must petition for their own improvement area which would not affect the remaining area. This particular ordinance is a KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING, MARCH 2, 1978 PAGE 3 housekeeping measure first step which will enable individual areas to petition for improvements areas as they are needed, when . they are needed. - Mr. Denslow presented a rxtview of the service area, service district, improvement dist'±Qt problem. The origin of the situa- tion dates back to the mid fiD's when the preparation of the original development plan was commissioned. The stimulation for the plan at that time was to meet the stipulations for the EPA and state grants for the construction of a sewer system and ultimately a water system. The original master plan adopted in 1968 was in two volumes. Volume I dealt essentially with land use related items; Vol,usna.SI --den with community facility items incJ.udi,ngnseeer and water. The plan was adopted as a policy guide. From this was developed an engineering study which resulted in the preparation of a document that became known as the "Kodiak Metro- politan Area Regional Water Quality Plan ". This was adopted both by the assembly and the city as the basis for bringing about the development of a utility system. That plan was used as the basis of grant applidatien•alsd' was the legal basis of a series of agreements reached with t,e'city for the utilization of the sewage treatment plan for the entire metropolitan area; the plant was designed to serve a population of approximately 10,000 and was based upon the 1968 master plan. Following that it became necessary for the state to step in to deal with pollution problems of Island Lake. • Resulting from that.the people from the Island Lake area in particular that the assembly assist them in further developing the engineering details of the metropolitan plan. The borough was asked to assist in 'reparaing a feasibility study. Seven alternative plans were prepared, from which ona plan, Plan Va, was selected and recommended. It addressed the questions of fiscal requirements, federal aid programming and the engineering details on how such a plan could be implemented over a period of years. Also was discussed the procedures needed by the borough to assist the citizens in bringing about the implementation of that plan. Resolution 877 -53 -R directed staff to take whatever technical steps are necessary in this natter. Service districts are formed and then improvement districts, within the service district, to provide for the assessments. Thera must be an ordinance to empower the borough to establish and provide special services for sewer, water and roads in Sewer District I of the Mill Bay- Monashka Service area. Approval of the ordinance is a necessity to going ahead with the desired needs of the Island Lake area. The engineer- ing plan will take approximately two years. The passage of this ordinance does not mean the entire area will be affected. The Island Lake area has been working for approximately ten years toward this end. 1 0 1 2 2 2 n; 1 Public hearing resumed. Dan Opp: Asked if the letters received as testimony should be read first. Mrs. Wallin stated the public hearing is held first then the letters would be read. He stated he is in favor of Island Lake forming an improvement district for their own needs. He felt that a map of the affected area had been promised and should have been given each property owner in the service district; also felt the public hearing should have been better advertised. He stated there was a counter petition received by the borough on March 1, 1978 at 3:J0 p.m. signed by 28 residents and /or property owners who do not wish to be included in the service area. He read the petition and explained a, map he presented of service district I and the Monasl ,ka -Mill Bay area. A copy of the proposed boundaries of Spreadeagle and a copy of the legal description of the Spreadeagle city boundaries were submitted as exhibits. In December 1977 the residents of tha area asked that they remain out of the service district but were included. Are now asking that this area be excluded from the proposed service district I. 1 r 1 2? 1 !1 5 1 KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING, MARCH 2, 1978 PAGE 4 Mr. Logan: Asked Mr. Ogg if he agreed that all the drainage in the area in question does not drain into the Mill Bay area and this was set up along natural boundary lines. Dr. Emmick: Asked how the establishment of this service district could adversely affect the Monashka Bay (Spreadeagle) area. Mr. Ogg: Explained he is in a fire service district but there are no roads to his property in case the service was needed. Mr. Denslow: Stated the cost of the engineering study would come ou o gra nt monies. Mr. Ogg: Read a letter from the Committee to Form the City of Spreadeagle asking that the area be excluded from Service District I and requesting the ordinance be amended to exclude the area which is contained in the proposed boundaries of Spreadeagle. Emil Norton, Miller Point, Second Addition: Stated he felt there had not been enough advertising of the public hearing; is of the opinion the assembly should listen more to the wishes of the people in the area. Reiterated that the people in the area do not want to be in a service area. Jim Richardson: Stated the boundary line of the two areas in his vicinity is Cliffside Loop Road. Felt that a road, with the problems of maintenance of the two areas, is not a good boundary line. Did not want to be included in the proposed service district nor to assume the cost of road maintenance or future subdivisions. Felt that a lift station would have to be put in and maintained if the sewer system was to be extended into the area which would be an additional cost. Is agreeable to being in a fire district. Mike Rasmussen: Stated he was not in opposition to the concept but asked if it would be mandatory that the entire area be included in this service district, or could a portion be deleted. Asked if this is financially feasible for the borough to assume. Could the other areas, outside the Island Lake area, ask for an improvement district at a later date? Mr. Denslow: They could, however, the engineering study shows that the drainage pattern is a gravity based system and in order to accomplish this system you must recognize the contours of the land. From a technical engineering point of view it would be relatively impossible to treat Island Lake by itself. Mike Rasmussen: Felt it would be more in the interest of the people involved if the borough could take care of those asking for the service and exclude those who do not want it; feels the size of the project is a little scary. Ivan Widom, City Manager: Read a letter dated March 3, 1978 from himself addressed to the Mayor and Assembly Members of the KIB. Boyne Kessler, Miller Point Subdivision: Stated he opposed being included in the service district; is also opposed to being annexed to the city as he has adequate sewer, water and road at the present time. Mr. Denslow: Explained to Mr. Kessler that the creation of the service district has no fiscal implications whatsoever. It is a necessary step in order for the Island Lake area to form an improvement district to answer their needs. The size and plan, a gravity flow system, is the result of engineering study. The nearest route from the Island Lake area to the fewer treatment plant would be followed even if it required pumping techniques. 'J '! 9 KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING, MARCH 2, 1978 Do ne K P^ °- essler: Voiced concern that the people ,within the n tir area cou a taxed in order to fund these studies. a '!r.Df —maw: Explained that the feasibility study has been paid di strict h eobor o ug h; the engineering details of the improvement assessed for the payment of those services. The people who petition, not the borough, would be drawing the boundaries of any such improvement district. Doyne Kessler: Is not opposed to having the Island Lake area having gar own improvement district want to be included in one himself, ' but at this time does not Okey Chandler: Stated a service district is needed in the Island Lake stating area and is in favor of it ,Summed up the situation by Public g l hearing v closed.

Danforth Ogg, Cliff Davidson, Dave Herrnsteen, J. Eufemio, Pete Danelski, Theresa Ann Sluman nad Shawn Dillon. Receipt of the legal description of the proposed city of Spreadeagle was noted. The signatures on the attached petition were not checked out as it was not in the hands of the clerk tan days in advance of the hearing. It was noted there ware 28 names on the three - sooner because the stated petition had not been submitted tised. The petition was read b hearing had not lin. sufficiently no p� y Mrs. W allin. Receipt was noted of the letters and "u'• Williams: Stated the assembly and planning and zoning com- mission ar the past several years have been criticized for lack of planning for streets, roads, sewer and water. The borough has tried to correct this situation by expending the planning cepart- ment. This ordinance pr an engineering probl.m in that the natural boundaries, the natural hazards and the area encompassed m ust ustube large enough so that the engineering plan itself will pass and federal levels to cause this n obligate funds at the state t borough has attempted to accomplish this n the past d two Ty e One of the things that has been lacking is proper engineering; eg this ordinance will allow the borough to have good practices now and in the future. This ordinance does not encumber anyone; it merely gives the people the right to vote on whether or not they want good engineering services now, or at any futre date, in the event a specific area within the service district would wish to have sewer, water or road services by petition. This would be done by vote and would necessitate an assessment for the affected area. This would provide the mechanics for future develop- ment of services when and where wanted. Mr. Jack: Explained this does not encumber anyone except in the Improvement area as requested. Residents in the improvement district are the only ones who are entitled to vote. Dr. Emmick: Felt this should be brought up for a vote so that the people can cast their votcsx, for or against. Mr. Peotter: Had been asked who would pay for the portion of a service ine that would lie outside the actual improvement district. Mr. Denslow explained that the trunk line going through properties t 1 1 1 1 2 9 5 1 A KIS ASSEMBLY MEETI ?G, '[ARCH 2, 1973 PAGE 6 outside the improvement district would be paid for by federal grants. EPA funding will provide a maximum of 37?. percent and by combining this with FHA you can gat 100 percent funding. Mr. Logan: Brought out that these services can be petitioned for separately (water, sewer or roads) or for more than one. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. 2.

Added Item IX H, Monthly Activities Report for February 1978 to the agenda. Dr. Emmick moved to accept receipt of the Monthly Activities Report for February 1978. Seconded by Mr. Peotter. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. 2. Stated that at the request of the assembly he would report that while in Washington, D. C. he had talked to a representative on the matter of Veterans Administration mortgage insurance. The matter was discussed with our congressional liaison people who suggested a particular way to communicate with the Veterans Administration. A letter has been written to them and another will come from the Senate side to the VA office in Anchorage with legal citations pointing out the fact that the TA status of lands is tantamount to title, therefore, there is no rationale for the VA's current posture on mortgage; secondarily, the fact that the surveys in question have been completed and it is a matter of administrative procedure within the Interior Depart- ment, Bureau of Land Management, in Washington, D. C. to review same before approving title for warranty d_eds. All of the mechanics of the process are in place and felt the desired results will occur as a result of the letter from Senator Stevens to the VA. 3. Stated Mr. Mulitalo had attended a meeting in Juneau the past week and attended a work session of one of the committees of the legislature focusing on testimony relating to HB 843 and SB 502f - which are the same piece of legislation, relating to a new approach to the state revenue sharing program which creates an equity posture potentially placing our borough in an enviable position by increasing the amount of funds available to the borough as a unit, also to the City of Kodiak;it also provides a minimum amount of 550,000 for the sacond class cities on the island. Felt the bill is now in a form that can be recommended to the assembly and suggested the assembly support the legisla- tion as it is of financial benefit to all of the second class cities, the first class city and the borougj. The formula used deviates slightly from the population formula previously used and adds some financial burden to the state. The borough's support would increase from $207,000 to $230,000, the city's support from $190,000 to $295,000 and a minimum of S50,000 for each of the second class cities. Mr. Peotter moved that the manager be directed to send a night letter or tele ram to the legislators acknowledging the borough support of B 343 and SB 502. Seconded by ,.r. Logan. Dr. Emmick stated this will be of great help to the villages to enable them to increase their services. Mr. Denslow stated staff will prepare a memorandum and send copies of it and the bills to all affected jurisdic- tions and the assembly members. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. 1 1 0 1 1 2 1 r, 5 3^ KIS ASSEMBLY MEETING, MARCH Z. 137: PAGE 8 4 . Regarding the AVAC lease, the City of Old Harbor requested the lease between the borough and AVAC be terminated, AVAC be advised of same, and the borough reach an agreement with the City of Old Harbor for the utilization of the building currently occupied by AVAC for new generator facilities to be installed under the egis of tha City of Old Harbor. Recommends the borough acknowledge positively the request of the City of Old Harbor and that the lease agreement be a non - renewable two - year lease with the understanding that during that time tha city would pursue additional financing to construct an adequate generator facility for the new equipment. The existing building is not dust proof and is not adequate for their needs. Dr. Enunick moved the assembly ^a on he _cord approving administrative ;r -- procedures to accompli t _ c` Mr - "'g`Mr. Jac and tlease e with eh std Harbor. Seconded b building by he chil pttcr. Mr. Jack stat the existing is a threat to The attending school in the adjoining building. It was stated that it was implied in tha main motion that this be a non- rune•-rab -e two -year lease. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. 5. In light or the appzovalof C_dinance 173 -6 -0, in order to save time, would like authorization to begin discussions in the development of a proposal for engineering services that would enable the borough to meet EPA ''ctep I requirements for contract and grant eligibility. if tTc election is successful the work would be approximately six weeks ahead. "'r. Pcottor moved that the administration be authorized to proceed. Seconded by Mr. Logan. notion carri by unanimous roll. call vote. 6. Explained he had lust been handed a lat_ir from Horace Simmons, Executive Director of the KA:'A Housing Authority, who was in attendance with Frank Peterson, Director of the KAUA organization. To summarize, in light of the Karluk storm crisis, much of the prior planning that had been accomplished by KANA Housing Authority and KANA Electrical Authority was wiped away. The money involved was lost to the storm. Now the citizens of the community, in a petition received yesterday in the borough offices, expressed their desire to relocate on a new site less tian a mile from the old site on high ground and a batter site. This will necessitate replanning, for the housing and the electrical facilities, the community center, et c.Itera. '(r. Pet has requested the borough assist them in getting a direct grant or through requests to tha state getting some emergency aid to underwrite those additional costs. Stated the borough would try to accommodate them. Pointed out much has been done in a technical way. The architectural firm doing tie housing work for KANA is Maynard NBBJ. The committee which consists of representatives of the Public Health Service, tha Corps of Engineers, the Borough, Community 5 Regional Affairs, and KAaA. are charged with the responsibility of doing the actual planning effort. Concurrently, they have asked for an extension of the period of emergency declaration because some of the things that were contemplated to be handled by the Office of Emergency Services have not yet been completed. Felt confidant this extension of time will be authorized by the legislature. The time line is short and the budget is a factor at this tine. The borough will take appropriate action to prevent HUD from severing the grant. I ASSEMBLY COMMENTS Mr. Jack: No comments. • Mr. Peotter: Stated he had had numerous inquiries about the tal e — c1< d about land sale. Asked if the parcels to be sold have been delineated. !ir. Dcnslow stated the ordinance was prepared according to law. The land will be sold according to certain priorities. Although the ordinance was prepared according to state laws at that time, the laws have been changed since and appropriate amendment provisions are being prepared and should be available in approximately thirty days. Thera should be approximately 17 or 18 parcels available. n S 3 1 KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING, MARCH 2, 1973 Mrs. Wasson: Stated that is ware no maps available ahead Service District I; she felt that the assembly is serving should strive to that and. Mr. Williams: 'Jo comments, PAGE 3 . Ogg had m-.ad:: the statement of time for s he ` the �` "' 3_y -:ic pas h'.e these shoal.; be provided. ° minded to people of the borough and Mr Logan: 1. It was pointed cut that a tel,gram taking a f ormal stand had been sent to the boundary commission by the mayor with regard to the proposcc City of Afognak. 2. Asked that the staff be more cooperative with the public. 3. Ask.,;; how the installation of the computer was progressing. Mr. Denslow stated an installer had spent three days on the machine to date. The borough and the school district will be using the computer. The programming is a long range thing and th assembly will be kept advised. city Dr. Emmick: 1. Stated there had been a lot of talk from the manager and city council on unification but felt there ca be vary little accomplished when this issue is approached by the city with a negative attitude. Fuels a change of attitude is necessary. XII MAYOR'S COMMENTS 1. There will be a meeting with the city at 9:30 a.m. on March 18th in the assembly chambers. The assembly will meet with the P E Z Commission and city on the third Saturday of each month to try to resolve their problems. Staff is requested to be present. 2, The same day at 11:00 a.m. there will be meeting on unification. Stated that if th., city or any of th,, second -class cities wish to invite any person or persons to t5.; meeting, it is recommended they do so. 3. On March 13th tar, will bo a meeting on the restructuring of the Alaska Dcpar^r,r^ of Fish and Game. The public is invited to attend and give input 4. The Alaska Coastal Policy Council will meat in Juneau on March 30th and 31st. 5. Stated she had mad.: a trip to Jnn1 s.a. this would be reported on in the Kodiak Mirror. XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS Larry Michelson., Sawmill Circle: It was brought out that both Sawmill hole and Lakeview Drive may be completed this year but it is too early to make a final statement. Mr. Mulitalo exhibited pictures that had been taken of both roads on this day. Mr. Nicholson stated that the majority of the property owners want the work to begin at Sawmill Circle. Mr. :!anmadeL. stated he would include in his study which one would give th.. greatest benefit to the most people. Eventually all of the r _ will be completed over a throe -year time plan; the immediat, question is which portion will be completed first this year. Marmaduke will make a , report at the next work session. Mr. Denslow stated the roads will be started about June 1, 1978 earliest with construction to be finished this summer; that :)cr::: completed Mr. Nicholson submitted " a l letter a d over to the from Brian Shafford�requestinr, the completion of the Sawmill Circle- Lakeview Drive project star^ at the proposed intersection with Monashka Bay Road. Richard Wamser: Stated he had heard there are some questions about of Afognak that he might be able to answer. Dr. Emmick asked if after the City of Afognak becomes a first -class city, will they be a part of the borough? Mr. Wamser stated that after nine years the first -class city would have the same status any first -class city. The land consultant and couns-.L have presented soma questions that need clarification regarding schools; would they be a part of borough taxation, ct cetera. Mr. Wamser agreed there will be many unforeseen questions come up; school facilities will have to be provided. Mr. Williams stated that because of the proximity of the proposed city to t,_ • 4 ATTEST: n sao KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING, STARCH 2, 197: PAGE 10 City of Kodiak, and the land aaccmoassad, ( aonroximatcly 340 square miles), that thar_ should bs a Public hearing so the paople of Kodiak could have soma input. '!r. 4 anser pointed out that the attorney general had ruled on this and no public hearing is roquircd. Mr. vamsor axplai: -_d that the Afognak Petition has been publicized in the news media and felt acre should ba general public knowladga. Mr. Jack stated that the teh:gram was sent in order to rac;aive answers to questions that had to be stated within a 45 day time limit or the approval of the boundary commission would become fact in that time. Asked Mr. Wamsar if thay had contacted thc lagitmat: rosid.:nts within th :, proposed Afognak City and if it is necessary to contact or poll thasa resid_nts. ';r.
