and the recommendations of the Solid Waste Task Force. He stated
that he would like to see the recommendations implemented in a
logical and systematic manner so as not to disrupt the operation

concessions.

next P&Z regular meeting. He spoke in opposition to a house and
senate bill requiring PSZ Commission members to be elected and
said the P &Z Commission supported a forthcoming K.I.B. resolution
opposing the election of P&Z Commission members. He requested
direction from the assembly on reviewing a generic appeals ordinance.
Assemblyman Gregg favored a generic appeals procedure.
Assemblyman Austerman said in reviewing the generic appeals
ordinance that he had some problems with portions of it. He
would like to discuss it further at a work session before giving
the P&Z Commission any direction.
Pat Szabo, member of Solid Waste Task Force, expressed concern
about extending the present Solid Waste Collection contract for
two years. She felt the present system had just "grown" and was
inequitable and ineffective. She said there was no relationship
between the fees charged to the taxpayer, the volume of waste
generated, or the cost to the borough. She thought this
ineffective, expensive system would be perpetuated if the present
contract was extended. She explained some of the short term
rates supposed by the Solid Waste Task Force.
Louie Lowenberq, member of the Solid Waste Task Force, said
the revised version of Resolution 88 -01 -R had been given to the
task force for review shortly before the assembly meeting. He
explained the task force reasonings behind the rates proposed by
the task force. He concurred with Mrs. Szabo's statements
regarding extending the present contract. He said the task force
had drafted a resolution of their own and thought the assembly
should adopt it rather than the resolution presented.
Marion Stirrup, member of the Solid Waste Task Force, requested
the assembly not to approve the two year extension of the present
contract for the same reasons as previously stated.
Assemblyman Gregg said the views expressed by the members of the
Solid Waste Task Force regarding the extension of the current
contract were unanimous.

MESSAGES PEOLMBE BOROUGH MAYOR
Mayor Selby reminded the assembly about the proposal with the
city of Kodiak to swap two pieces of equipment at the landfill
for a D -7 Cat and an ten -yard truck. He said the borough had
some legal paperwork that had to be done before the swap could
take place and the city was willing to lease the equipment in the
interim. He requested authorization to negotiate the lease.

MOTION CARRIED Unanimous Voice Vote RESOLUTION
NO. 88 -01 -R
GREGG, moved to amend by (continued)
seconded by AUSTERMAN substitution the version of
Resolution No. 88 -01 -R as
submitted by the Solid Waste
Task Force.
Assemblymember Barker pointed out that the two -year extension of
the contract to Kodiak Sanitation was deleted in the amended
resolution and asked what would happen to the fees if this
version was adopted and the contract was not renewed.
Mayor Selby explained that the current contract would expire on
December 31, 1988. As far as the rates, he said the only one
that would have any meaning would be the fee for the 20 yard
truck which was tariffed at $80 per truck load. The other trucks
were covered under an existing contract with the borough at a
lesser rate and he thought the contract would supersede the
resolution.
Assemblymember Barker inquired about the advantage of going out
to bid and the possibility of changing contractors.
Assemblyman Gregg responded that the two -year extension of the
contract was the pivotal issue in the entire existence of the
Solid Waste Task Force. He pointed out that if the contract was
extended as it is written, the borough would be establishing
"status quo" for the next two years. He proceeded to elaborate
on other questions the task force had raised.
Assemblyman Stevens asked if it would be possible to extend the
term of the operating agreement and renegotiate the agreement to
the satisfaction of the Solid Waste Task Force?
Mayor Selby said he thought the reason why the borough was
willing to extend the contract was because Kodiak Sanitation Inc.
had indicated they were willing to make a number of the changes
recommended by the Solid Waste Task Force. He also said that the
one piece of stability in the whole garbage system was the col-
lection process. He noted that Kodiak Sanitation had an Alaska
Public Utilities Commission permit to collect garbage and said if
the contract goes to some other company Kodiak Sanitation, Inc.
could contest the matter in court.
Assemblyman Gregg, assembly representative to the Solid Waste
Task Force, answered questions from the assembly.
At the Assembly's request, members of the Solid Waste Task Force
were asked to address the issue.
Louie Lowenburg commented that the $4.00 /yard was strictly an
interim recommendation until the end of the contract year.
Secondly, he pointed out that the task force had recommended
extending the contract with the present contractor for short
intervals until the assembly could get the problem under control.
Further discussion followed hat-woman the a ss embly and Mr_
Lowenburg, Mrs. Szabo, Duane Freeman, and Eric Blankenburg of the
Solid Waste Task Force.
Fred Nase agreed with the Solid Waste Task Force that the con-
tract needed changes, but in this particular case, he said the
contract didn't make any difference because he was doing things
the same as he did with the previous contract with the city of
Kodiak. He added that invariably every time they bid a contract
with the city, it ended up being negotiated. He said that he was
hesitant to agree to short term extensions. He said there were
so many changes talked about that he wasn't certain he wanted to
be involved in it anymore. He also agreed with the Solid Waste
Task Force that the contract was poorly written.

COMMENTS
Assemblyman Aueterman commented on the discussion held at a work
session concerning the bike path and who would be responsible for
keeping it clean if the state of Alaska failed to do so. He said
he had done some checking into the cost involved in sweeping the
path and came up with $125.00 per sweeping. He figured the path
should be swept three or four times a year for approximately
$500.00. Since this path is considered under the jurisdiction of
"Parks" he felt the borough had an obligation to keep it clean.
AUSTERMAN,
seconded by STEVENS
VOTE ON MOTION
MOTION CARRIED Unanimous Voice Vote
Mayor Selby requested authorization from the assembly to move
$750 into the Parks cleaning budget.
moved that the borough BID TO SWEEP BIKE
obtain a bid to sweep the PATH
bike path four times a year.
Assemblyman Stevens felt since it was the responsibility of the
state of Alaska to keep the bike path clean, the state should be
sent a bill.
Assemblyman Stevens requested the clerk to get a sympathy card
extending condolences to Assemblymember McFarland over the death
of his father. He reminded the assembly that Mayor Fink from
Anchorage would be in Kodiak on Friday and extended an invitation
to them to attend a noon luncheon at Elks Club to hear him speak.
He also referred to an article in their packets about Individual
Transfer Quotes for fisherman in New Zealand that he thought was
an interesting concept.
Assemblymember Barker, assembly representative to the Hospital
Board, said the board had been active in seeking support from the
local community and legislators for a new hospital in Kodiak.
She said the hospital plans were complete and the ground work was
being completed. The board was looking to the state of Alaska
for support of approximately fourteen million dollars she said,
and the board would appreciate any local assistance given toward
attaining this goal.
Presiding Officer White announced there would be a special
assembly meeting on April 14, 1988 at 7:30 p.m. to award the bid
for high school improvements followed by a work session. The
next regular assembly meeting will be held on April 21, 1988. Also,
he said the first meeting for the King Crab Rehabilitation Council
would be held on April 12, 1988 and invited the public to attend.
He asked the mayor for a report on the progress for the heliport.
Mayor Selby said the construction drawings were being worked on
and plans were to build the heliport this summer.
Mayor Selby also reminded the public that a public hearing on the
Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge would be held on April 12,
1988 and said this refuge would definitely impact Kodiak Island.
