COIIIITlfl REPORTS COMMITTEE REPORTS Mary Lou Knudsen, Planning and Zoning Commission representative, said there had been three items on the P &Z agenda which pertained to the assembly. She said the rezoning of the Lakeside Subdivision had been tabled until after a joint work session with the assembly could be held. Another item discussed was the rezoning of the lots behind the school in Chiniak with the P &Z Commission's recommendation to rezone to public lands. She reported that the third item was a request for a variance for the hospital sign which the P &Z Commission denied because they felt the borough should conform to their own zoning codes.

Assemblyman Gregg explained that Kodiak Sanitation held a Public Utilities Commission Certificate of Convenience and Necessity for an area of approximately five miles surrounding the 1973 city of Kodiak city boundaries. He said there was no APUC permit for the other areas where the borough had implemented garbage powers. He reiterated that the permit was required by state statute, and the borough was subject to a fine if the permit was not acquired. Mayor Selby said the existing permit would have to be retired before the state would grant a permit to the borough. He said some negotiation and a conclusion would have to be reached with Kodiak Sanitation regarding their existing permit. He said the garbage collection and handling system would have to be revamped and this was a step toward that direction. Assemblyman McFarland noted that the borough did not have an option in obtaining this permit.

OTHER CITIEEIIS' COMERS None ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS Assemblyman Merriman commented on the airport management concept and said he felt it was one of the most significant possibilities that had come before the assembly for having a position impact on the Kodiak community. He said that after attending several work sessions and hearing information from various experts, he thought it behooved everyone to take the concept seriously. He thought the one thing that was stifling the community so far as real economy growth, was the lack of a first class airport. This was an opportunity to do something about it, he added. Assemblyman Austerman said he had spoken to a local contractor who, in anticipation of the bidding on the Chiniak Road, had dug test holes in the area. These test holes indicated the area was so wet that the contractor who is awarded the contract will have a terrible headache when it rains. Assemblyman Austerman suggested the -bid documents be reviewed so that the borough does not get into a situation where there would be a lot of overrun costs. Also, he added the teachers' union had reopened negotiations so arbitration may not be necessary. Assemblyman Stevens took the opportunity to publicly thank Pat Szabo and her group for the fine clean up of the Kodiak area last weekend. He thought Pat Szabo deserved special recognition for the time and energy that she devoted to the Litterthon. Assemblymember Barker requested a letter be sent to Pat Szabo thanking her for her work on the Litterthon. Also, she thanked Assemblyman White for dividing the budget into sections and assigning different departments to assemblymembers for review. She said her experience reviewing the Data Processing department was valuable. She added that she gained a hette knowledge of the budget in that area and also a better knowledge of how the data processing department worked. Assemblyman White commended the Kodiak City Council, Kodiak Garden Club, and Bud Cassidy of the borough for their work on the Constitution Gardens and the landscaping in the mall area. He said it made quite a difference in the appearance of the community. He announced up coming assembly meetings and work sessions.
