unanimous roll
In response to Dr. Gorman's presentation, Dr. Denslow
stated that the problem has been 8 continues to be that
both the contractor 8 the architect say that they can
8 desire to complete their obligations under their re-
spective contracts. The problem however continues that
they have not in fact completed their obligations, & we
keep getting assurances that they will do so, through
their attorney's. The most recent issue seems to be one}
of deciding whether or not the borough should take the
position of dismissing the contractor and considering
dismissal of the architect for failure to perform. That
1 1 1 7 1 1 ; S q

will not hasten the availability of the parts, in fact,
it could merely compound that issue because then it
would require getting a new architect to write up the
specifications & a different contractor to install the
parts. So there is no time savine that can be fore-
seen either by the Council or the Administration in
making that decision at any point prior to, perhaps,
the next couple of weeks.
Mayor Wallin then drew attention to the second page of
the memo that was turned in by the Health Council, re-
referring to some type of action being taken, or else
other relevant information being provided to the HRA
Council, in writing, by their next meeting which will
be November 1, 1978.
Dennis Murray then gave his remarks and brought to the
Assembly's attention one item not mentioned in Dr. Denslow's
report that Mr. Murray considers to be a major problem is
the fact that the water closets are at the wrong heighth.
Mr. Evans, by invitation of Mayor Wallin, stated that he has
requested answers to the questions concerning the height of
the water closets, hand rails & mirrors from the architect,
and has never received an answer. The punch list is completed
with the exception of the fittings for the boiler, which we
should have within the next week or so, but other than that,
Neil g Company has done everything they possibly can. They
continue to work on the project knowing that they aren't going
to get paid. He estimates that if he had everything he need-
ed he could complete this project within a month, if given
direction. The roof has been examined by an unbiased examiner
and he's waiting for the written report on it right now,
which will determine whether or not it was a design error or
the installation of the roof.
r The Senior Citizens suggested that the Senior Citizen
Board & the Borough negotiate a separate agreement with
an architect & contractor for the correction of the de-
ficiencies, and the borough bear the cost initially.
They feel that this would hopefully afford the earliest
possible solution to a difficult situation & would lead
to a certificate of occupancy by the State.
VII PUBLIC HEARINGS

XI ASSEMBLY COMMENTS
PAGE 5
1. A request from the school board, School Oistri_t Ad-
ministration to consider a couple cf matters that ar
currently on their agenda.
a. Request the Assembly join in an inspection of the
Akhiok Village School on the proposed date of
October llth, to examine what has been alledged
to be conditions of deterioration at the building.
(Charter arrangements will be made by the School
District.)
b. Set a date for a joint work session between the
School Board of the District 5 the Borough Assembly
on the proposed date of October 17th, Tusday, at
7:30 p.m.. (Meeting place must yet be designated.)
Mayor ; 7alIin suggested that this he put on hold
until the new Assembly members take over. Thera
may be somo who would be able to take time off
to go to the villages.
2. Gene Sundberg called 5 said that the proposed amend-
ments that the Assembly had endorsed, have been sub-
mitted to the Senate subcommittee, and that the D -2
bill will be considered by the full senate. Gene once
again appealed for a telegraph endorsement of the bill,
as presently conditioned, to Senator Gravel. Do you
wish to take further action relative to Senator Gravel's
position an the 2-2 Bill?
Mr. Jack moved to send the telegram to Senator Gravel
in Washington, as requested by Mr. Sundberg. Second-
ed by Mr. Williams. Motion failed with Mr. Peotter
6 Mrs. Kavanaugh casting XO votes.
Mr. Logan: Stated that Headstart has lost some of their - a..
funding. He thinks it is time for the P 6 Z staff to
discontinue studying the land sales ordinance and get
the land up for sale.
Mrs. Kavanaugh: Wondered if the Assembly could get a
status of where the land sale is 6 what it is doing in
F.E Z?
Dr. Denslow stated that the land sale proposed
began 13 months ago with the discovery that the
Ordinance that the Assembly was attempting to
operate with was inconsistent with state law,
thereby invalidating their attempt to the sale.
Step 1: Necessitates the code, which you
have just concluded, the procedural document
that would be the gui.'.e for the land sale.
Step 2: You've directed your attorney to in-
vestigate all the parcels of land which met
certain criterion for sale Relatively
simply criterion were that the land had to
be clear of title, and had to have access to
the property in question. A list of the
properties is presently before the P 6 Z
Commission for its r.:view for zoning, trans-
portation, & related considertions. A copy
of that list was given to the Borough Assembly
at the work session a couple of weeks ago 6
Mr. Tubbs 6 Mr. Lekisch are working on the
legal documents related to the sale itself.
Recommendation of parecls is assumed to come
from the P S 7 Commission very shortly.

(Within the next couple of weeks.) There-
after the Assembly will be given the oppor-
tunity to decide which parcels they wish to
in fact offer for sale under the terms of
Code Title 18.
Mr. Williams: More than one person has brought it to my
attention that the professionals doing the assessing of
the borough have been found in peoples front yards, back
yards, measuring the size of homes E so forth, 8 nobody
has ever come to the door to introduce themselves.
Mayor Wallin suggested that perhaps the Assembly should
release a statement telling people what's happening.
Mr. Jack: I think we might direct Mr. ask
little further about what these apprais enslow
Have we gotton any further on the report of the pool?
Were samples sent in for analysis?
Dr. Denslow said that we did follow on the agr :ed
upon process that the Assembly accepted. Samples
of the pool liner were taken & have been sent to
the lab for analysis. The borough attorney was
instructed to take the necessary legal steps to
protect our interests on the warranty as far as
the liner is concerned. The warranty date on
the liner expires on November 15, 1978. The
Maintenance Department of the School District
has taken steps to begin the process of welding
8 are in the process of making the repairs. As
soon as the repairs are complete the pool will
be refilled. The process that you have agreed
to will determine who is at fault, either the
contractor at the tine of installation and /or
the pool manufacturer for the condition that
exists. At the sane time determine who is
responsible for the costs related to the main-
tenance and /or replacement of the liner.
My third comment concerns the sewer plant. It is my
understanding that it is not living up to its reputa-
perhaps Mr. Denslow rwrite yarletterntoutthescityt8at
inquire as to the sewer problem, and also include it
on the November agenda to let the audience know what is
happening to the sewer treatment plant.
KII MAYOR'q.COMMENTS
1. Ratification of election: This has to be done by
Tuesday, October 10th. Suggested time was 5:20. Could
it be changed either to 6:30 or 7.00? Time of 7:00
was unanimously accepted.
2. The clerk was instructed to have the Borough Code books
ready for the new Assembly people, & to also provide
them with Roberts Rules of Order, Title 29 6 30, 6 to
include the ASCA small white book pertaining to land so
3 they can familiarize themselves with the land issues.
The Mental Health Center has sent a letter in which one
of their members have been dropped from membership, 6
they need another person to fill this vacancy. I'd like
PAhission to ask the manager to advertise for the posi-
tion as we normally do.
4• What is the status of the hospital residence house?
Dr. Denslow said that construction is nearly
complete. They are doing the final punch list
items with just a few details waiting comple-

XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS:
PAGE 7
Paul Snider from Monashka Bay: I live on Sawmill Circle,
which is a very rough road right of way, with about seven
or eight other families. Am tired of hauling fuel and I
can't get any electricity into my property until such time
that the road is being built. Was told in March that con-
struction was to start August 1. I'd like to know how
much money was allocated g how come the road isn't being
under construction?
Dr. Denslow: Center line stakes were driven
to determine the extent to which the fill and
cut as part of the construction process, and
spill out beyond the right of way onto privet=
property. Mr. Tubbs was asked to initiate the
steps, which he did, to get releases from each
of the property owners on whose property either
a cut or a fill intrusion would be required to
meet the grade line requirement of the service
road and trail program. That project has been
approved for construction, the money is allocat-
ed, and all we're doing at this point is meet-
ing the engineering and legal requirements of
the state before construction starts. Mr. Mane-
line, the director for the program at the state
level, has suggested that a contract award be
made for both this years and next years con-
struction as one contract. If it all goes
according to schedule it will be completed with-
in the current fiscal year ending June 30, 107'
Laura Aimes: Remarks about the appraisors.
Mr. Logan moved that the Assembly move to an executive
session with the personnel board. Seconded by Mr.
Williams. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
