John Murray said that agencies and the public needed
a place to shoot to help preserve the current way of
life and asked the Assembly to adopt Resolution
No. 91 -52.
Mel Stephens was not opposed bnt_was
bothered by the lack of information concerning the
finances of the purchase. He felt that the operation
of the rifle range was not a core governmental issue.
He urged the Assembly to seriously consider cost
benefit before adopting Resolution No. 91 -52.
Ken Kimmel spoke to happenings at the Kodiak Island
Hospital which he felt were potentially life-
threatening situations that needed addressing. He
informed the Assembly that a unit secretary position
covering the hours between 2:45 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
was deleted and felt that a call for a nurse could go
unanswered because the position was deleted. He said
deletion of the position may have been a cost - saving
move but pointed out that 28 hours per weak of
overtime was paid because of the ten -hour shifts for
unit secretary „ positions..,
Jim Wisher hopes. that the Salonis Creak rifle range
would be purchased.
West supportsd_adoption-of Resolution No, 91-52.
Stan Ness encouraged the purchase of the Salonis
Creek rifle range.

PUBLIC HEARING
All ordinances and resolutions presented at this
meeting were introduced by title only and copies
made available to the public.
A. Ordinance No. 91 -24 Amending the Personnel ORDINANCE
Rules and Regulations by updating Various NO. 91 -24
Position Descriptions and Schedule II.
Presented for public hearing was Ordinance No. 91 -24
which, if adopted, would amend the Personnel Rules
and Regulations as recommended by the Personnel
Advisory Board.
GOULD, moved to adopt
seconded by STEVENS Ordinance No. 91 -24.
Mayor Selby said that the department heads were
charged to do an annual review of all job
descriptions and if employees were not doing what was
in their job descriptions, the job descriptions were
presented to the Personnel Advisory Board, which
rerated and reclassified the descriptions. He called
attention to the fact that this was according to the
code. He explained that Ordinance No. 91-24-spoke to
ten re- evaluations or re- positioning of salary
ranges, placing the descriptions in !Perspective and
equal pay for equal work.
When asked about the impact to the budget, Mayor -
Selby explained that the fiscal impact for one year
would be $17,652 but would not affect the current
year's budget because there was no significant
change. He related the one salary increase affecting
the accounting technician position was significant as
the employss'in that position had worked at the
Borough for only one month. He added that the monies
were already in the budget.
Assemblymembers discussed with the Mayor the fiscal
impact of the staff assistant position in the Mental
H Center,
Assemblymember Gould pointed out that the Mental
Health Advisory Board and the Personnel Advisory
Board were not in agreement on the evaluation of the
Mental Health.Center staff assistant position.
The Presiding Officer opened the public hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING
Vol_ -44 xis
?a;e 24E
Linda Freed, Borough employee, thought the Borough's
asset was employees because a service was provided
and not a product. She commended the administration
and the Personnel Advisory Board for their efforts.
She expressed concern about the methodology used that
reviewed and ranked jobs. She urged the Assembly to
look at other issues as well as salary base. Her
major concern with the methodology was that it ranked
different characteristics of jobs and the numerical
values placed; She was concerned with the category
of responsibility because secretaries and support
staff were rated less when actually they were often
more experienced than the entry -level of some
positions. She urged the Assembly to look at the
methodology and what the job entailed. She also said
that since the methodology had not been reviewed, it
was the Assembly's responsibility. She urged that
the Secretary III position be ranged at a Step 10.
Walter Sava, Personnel Advisory Board Chairman,
related that'the Board tried to be equitable in
rating the job descriptions presented by the
department heads:
Kathleen Addison, Borough employee, was of the
opinion that the job descriptions were accurate
descriptions and supported adoption of Ordinance No.
91-24.
Penninaton, Borough employee, felt descriptions
were accurate.
Karl Short, Borough employee, spoke in favor of
Ordinance No. 91 -24 and concurred with Ms. Freed that
the Assembly look at the methodology.
Jim Carmichael, Mental Health Advisory Board member,
expressed concerns the Board had regarding the
ordinance and spoke to supply and demand. He felt
that some descriptions were over - rated.
James Wilson addressed taxes he paid as real money
and felt the ordinance could be amended to address
that.
The Presiding Officer closed the public hearing.
Assemblymember Gould expressed concern about the
methodology in terms of the number spread and whether
it was subjective. He -felt the Mental Health Center
staff assistant was actually a new position. He
desired more discussion during a work session on the
associate planner description, Mental Health Center
staff assistant, and Mental Health Center director
Regular. Assembly Meeting

descriptions. He acknowledged that it was healthy to
have different recommendations from the boards
because each board presented their recommendations
from a different perspective.
Assemblymember Milligan suggested there may be other
ways to reward employees. He expressed concern with
the scale for secretarial positions and agreed that
needed review.
Assemblymember Stevens reminded the Assembly that the
methodology was approved by a past assembly. He
asked the Mayor what the impact would be if the
adoption of the ordinance was postponed.
Mayor Selby spoke to the difficulty of keeping
objectivity when the system passed through the public
hearing process. He said that the basic system was
developed and used throughout the United States and
department heads started the process by reviewing job
descriptions and applying the system. He stressed
that if more time was needed, postponing adoption
because employees and the Assembly needed to feel
confident that a good system was in place.
Assemblymember Monroe remembered that she was a
member of the Personnel Advisory Board when the grid
was put in place. She suggested that it might be
time to. change. As the Assembly representative on
the Mental Health Advisory Board, she was part of the
discussion•_on the rating of the Mental Health Center
job descriptions. She related that the Board did not
approve the wording of the- descriptions, specifically
the staff assistant position. The Board was not
comfortable with the rating and voted twice not to
approve the ratingrooShs referred to the fact that it
was the Board's right to make recommendation.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl commended the Personnel
Advisory Board for their fine work on what they were
charged to do. and the Mental Health Advisory Board
for being the eyes and ears of the Assembly. She
urged more discussion during a work session.
GOULD, - moved to postpone
seconded by MILLIGAN Ordinance No. 91 -24 to
next regular meeting.

seconded by FITZJEARL Resolution No. 91 -52
Mayor Selby referred to maps that showed that the
area surrounding the proposed rifle range was owned
by the Borough. He said the topography of the
mountains at both ends of the basin provided a safety
factor; whereas, the current range atthe VFW was not
properly developed as a range and projectors led to a
housing development less than a mile away. He
explained that $420,000 plus a $120,000 federal grant
were budgeted. The project estimated to be $700,000
because the State of Alaska National Guard would
contribute about $53,000 of improvements to road
access and a 400 yard firing berm in exchange for
access to the range for guard activities.
He stated it was the Kodiak Island Borough's
intention to lease the range portion to the Kodiak
Island Sportsman Association (KISA), and the rest to
be used for parks and recreation and that buildings
provided by KISA would be used for storage and
restroom facilities.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl felt that since the monies
were to come from land sales, it was right to
purchase land. She toured the facility and saw the
potential to tie the area in with Bells Flats for
something the whole community could use.

Page 250
Assemblymember Milligan pointed out-that not only was
a rifle range purchased, but 687 acres. He added
that using the range for education in firearm safety
benefitted the whole community.
Assemblymember Gould reiterated that the purchase was
for 687 acres and that the rifle range fit into the
best use of property dedicated to public use. Since
one of the benefits was to close the VFW rifle range,
he favored adoption of the resolution.
Assemblymember Hancock felt that Borough -land should
be sold to get as much land as possible on the tax
rolls. Since the rifle range was a small portion of
the 687 acres, she felt that the potential of
developing the property around the rifle range was
negligible as there were many unknowns about
developing that property. She expressed concern
about liability if the property was managed by a
sportsman organization.
Karl Short responded to the Assembly's discussion on
insurance and liability. He said KISA carries $2
million liability insurance and the rifle range would
be added with the .Kodiak Island Borough as an - .,
additional insured, which increased the premium by
ten percent.
Mayor Selby responded to the discussion about the
taxability of the land by saying a Native corporation
presently owned the land and was not taxed....
When questioned about the firing of big guns and the
use of tanks by the military, Mayor Selby responded
that an assembly previously authorized use of
Borough -land for tanks. He also felt the use of such
would be conditions of the lease.
The Assembly discussed further the advantages of the
Borough purchasing . the area.
