Resolution No. 90-09 Urging the RESOLUTION Establishment of a Katmai National Park NO. 90-09 Coastal District Office in Kodiak. MCFARLAND, moved to adopt seconded by AUSTERMAN Resolution No. 90-09. At presiding officer White's request, Mayor Selby said the resolution was being introduced in cooperation with the people from the National Parks Service. This request was partly the result of the National Park Service opening an office in Kodiak after the oil spill occurred; and also, from interaction with National Park Service personnel from Washington, D.C. and the head ranger of Katmai National Park. He said the National Park Service people were interested in developing marine and tourism opportunities on the Shelikof side of Katmai National Park. Assemblyman McFarland thought the National Park Service personnel were very professional and said it was advantageous to have such an entity in our community especially since the annexation of the Shelikof Straits to the borough.

OTHER OTHER None CITIZENS' COMMENTS CITIZENS' COMMENTS None ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS Assemblymember Monroe wanted citizens to know that the assembly was aware of the shameful condition of the roads with all the potholes. She said calls had been made to Senator Zharoff and the governor and an individual had been identified in the Department of Transportation who might be of assistance in the maintenance of the roads. Assemblyman McFarland agreed with Assemblymember Monroe's comments about the road conditions and commented that the money appropriated for road maintenance in this district did not seem to trickle down to Kodiak. Referring to the assembly's goals and objectives work session, he said the assembly hoped to establish a rapport with the state airport lessee as well as the state of Alaska to obtain better service for Kodiak and alleviate some of the problems. Also, referring to the goals and objectives work session, Assemblyman Austerman thought the assembly had arrived at a better understanding about where the individual members of the assembly were coming from Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XIII January 18, 1990 Page 23 and where they wanted to go for the coming year. He suggested two work sessions a year might be beneficial to review the goals and objectives and reaffirm the decisions. On the road situation, he said the state of Alaska built projects but did not maintain them. He thought Mill Bay Road was to the point of being unsafe and suggested a letter be sent to the governor about closing down Mill Bay Road as a safety hazard. He suggested the assembly sit down with staff to address the revision of Title 16, and the issue of subdivision and preliminary plats in particular. He thanked John Parker for his work on the assembly. Assemblyman White thought the work session had been productive and added the consensus of the assembly was to have the comprehensive plan completed. He said the assembly reviewed the airport plan and it would soon be brought before them for public hearing. Another concern under discussion was the gear storage problem. One significant item was the advisory vote on Consolidation and he said a mail -out ballot to vote on the formation of a Charter Commission would take place in May. He announced the assembly would be attending the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference in Dillingham this weekend. The next work session would be on Thursday, January 25, 1990 at 7:30 p.m. and the next regular assembly meeting has been rescheduled to Tuesday, February 6, 1990 at 7:30 p.m. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the assembly, the meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m. C P iding Officer ATTEST: B'orou Cler}J Regular Assembly Meeting January 18, 1990 ADJOURNMENT Volume XIII Page 24
