COMMENTS

Jim Fisk asked consideration for a decision to not
hire a hospital management company but to consider
management by the Borough.
Susan Jeffrey, Kodiak High School advisory group
chairman, thanked the Assembly on behalf of the
advisory group for supporting the high school
remodel. She was excited to see people in the
community work together to complete a major project
without an additional tax burden. She said
remodeling by phases did not interrupt the education
process.
Patty Holmes, Kodiak High School advisory group
member, concurred with the comments of Ms. Jeffrey.
She said the high school was bursting at the seams
with population growth and was pleased that the
remodel provided additional classroom space. She
said science rooms were increased in size.
Cathy Cordry spoke in opposition to Resolution
No. 93 -12. She felt the price paid for the property
acquired by Fire District No. 1 was inflated. She
disapproved of land disposal without adequate public
input.
Pam Foreman read comments from Dr. Bob Johnson
relating his past history as a doctor working with
the hospital in Kodiak. He supported LHHS and Ed
Myers as administrator
Keith Falatko, anesthesiologist at Kodiak Island
Hospital, assured the community there had been no
time without surgery coverage. He encouraged
subsidizing the hospital.
Debbie Raper, Kodiak Island Hospital employee, was
amazed at the malice and personal attacks directed at
Mr. Myers as he worked hard to put the hospital on
the road to recovery. She remarked that since the
decision to hire LHHS was already made, the action
now was to award the contract.
Pat Thorn, Kodiak Island Hospital care center nurse
manager, believed LHHS had the knowledge to manage a
rural health care facility.
Margaret Nadev, Kodiak Island Hospital maternity neo-
natal health unit nurse manager, summarized her
experience in the nursing field and entreated the
Assembly to approve the contract with LHHS.
Alice Knowles, school board member, urged Assembly

the property was beneficial to the College.
Clay Koplin, Planning & Zoning Commissioner, reported

consistent with the type of development in upland
areas of remote Kodiak Island.
MONROE, moved to adopt
seconded by AUSTERMAN Ordinance No. 93 -21.
Mayor Selby deferred to Duane Dvorak, Community
Development Department associate planner, who
explained that rural development zoning did not allow
subdividing less than five acres but allowed a
density of one dwelling per acre. He related the
fact that the parcel was next to a parcel previously
rezoned rural development and that this property met
the criteria for the rezone.
Assemblymember Milligan discussed with Mr. Dvorak
intensive conditional use permitting.
Mr. Dvorak responded to questions from Assemblymember
Gould in that Alaska Statutes Title 29 maintained
that rezone decisions be consistent with
comprehensive plans.
Presiding Officer McFarland called for public
testimony; hearing and seeing none, he reconvened the

At questions presented by Presiding Officer
McFarland, Mr. Dvorak outlined that permitted uses of
property zoned conservation included fishing, hunting
and harvest of natural resources and that structures
were non - permitted use.
Assemblymember Gould spoke to all rural development
rezones and charged that there were inadequate tools
to make proper decisions. He spoke of the need for a
comprehensive plan as a system.
Assemblymember Austerman approved of rural
development zoning because development caused
economic growth.
Assemblymember Hancock reiterated her positive
position regarding rural development zoning. She
felt the fear of over development in rural areas was
unfounded.
Assemblymember Milligan reserved the right to vote
for some of the rezones and against some because he
agreed with the statements made earlier by Mr.
Miller. He believed the public needed to come forth
during hearings on a comprehensive plan.
Presiding Officer McFarland was being cautious when
voting as decisions could be critical in the future
for the economy.

Regular Assembly Meeting
April 15, 1993
Mayor Selby deferred to Duane Dvorak, Community
Development Department associate planner. Mr. Dvorak
referred to maps and explained that multiple owners
of the property wanted to have their own cabins.
Presiding Officer McFarland opened the public
hearing.
Willie Henrichs spoke in general about the rural
development zoning concept and to the fact that the
majority of borough real estate was in the wildlife
refuge, Native corporation holdings, military, and
public domain with a small percentage in individual
holdings. He did not want stifling of individual's
efforts for rural development zoning.
Clay Koplin commented generally.
Presiding Officer McFarland closed the public hearing
and reconvened the regular meeting.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl generally commented that the
Coastal Management Plan was a plan for the community.
Assemblymember Monroe said the process was in place
for analyzing and developing a new comprehensive plan
and the applicants for rezones were going through the
process with the regulations now in place.
Assemblymember Gould clarified his position in that
he wanted development but the Coastal Zone Management
Plan was not a plan but a set of criteria used to
measure development impact on an area. He explained
that a plan was where all areas were studied and
decisions made as to what was wanted in the area.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl knew that even with
rezoning, there was a process to be followed to use
the property. She remembered that the comprehensive
plan was a dream and an idea of a group and that it
could be changed in the future. She encouraged
following present regulations.
Assemblymember Hancock pointed out that other
agencies, such as DEC and ADF &G, scrutinize
activities.
Assemblymember Milligan understood this particular
rezone was needed so that the owners could continue
setnetting legally. He expressed concern with areas
where there were many lodges or recreational cabins.
He encouraged the Assembly to be the agency to
scrutinize activities.

Department associate planner. Mr. Dvorak referred to
maps while explaining that the applicants were
shareholders in a Native corporation and had obtained
a 99 year lease with provisions for extensions. He
added that the owners paid taxes as if they owned the
property and were responsible for zoning and
regulation compliance. He added there was no
objection from the lessor on the rezone.

E. Ordinance No. 93 -24 Rezoning U.S. Survey 1450
From C -- Conservation to RD- -Rural Development
(Generally Located Along the Northwest Shore of
Portage Bay on the Alaska Peninsula)
Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 93 -24
which, if adopted, rezoned a parcel of land
consistent with the provisions of the Bristol Bay
Coastal Management Plan.
FITZJEARL, moved to adopt
seconded by MILLIGAN Ordinance No. 93 -24.
Mayor Selby deferred to the Community Development
Department associate planner. Mr. Dvorak highlighted
the points in that it was a large sized track of
property on the Alaska Peninsula and was not included
under the Borough's existing plan because it was
annexed in 1989. He reviewed the Bristol Bay Coastal
Management Plan for compliance. He related that the
area would be included in the Comprehensive
Management Plan update.
The Presiding Officer opened the public hearing.
Jeff Knauf presented photographs while explaining the
purpose of the rezone request was to be in compliance
with current statutes. He wished to build a lodge
for people to experience what the site offered. He
reviewed all plans about the property and declared
that clearly a historical and archaeological survey
was in order.
He told Assemblymember Fitzjearl that the population
in Kanatik had been zero since 1952.
The Presiding Officer closed the public hearing and
reconvened the regular meeting.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl asked Mr. Dvorak to
reiterate that the area was annexed in 1989 and the
Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan was adopted
in 1984. Mr. Dvorak also explained that this
particular area was part of the Bristol Bay coastal
resource area established before the Bristol Bay
Borough was formed.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl discussed with Mr. Dvorak
the reasons why the Bristol Bay plan was not adopted
into the Kodiak Island Borough's plan. Mr. Dvorak
explained that the plans were different and that the
state would not accept the borough's policies applied
to areas without a planning process.

Mr. Dvorak responded to Assemblymember Fitzjearl by
saying that if the rezone was approved, the
applicants would be allowed to have a lodge serving
ten guests. He added that a larger lodge required a
conditional use permit.
Assemblymember Gould countered that the rezone was
troubling because nothing was adopted in the code for
the area. He maintained that Title 29 stated a
coastal management plan be implemented.

MESSAGES FROM THE BOROUGH MAYOR
Mayor Selby reported that it was unclear where Mill
Bay Road was placed in the ISTEA Program, although it
was in the capital budget before the legislature. He
announced meetings scheduled next week in Juneau with
the new commissioner of the Department of
Transportation.
He was advised that the funds for the state recording
office in Kodiak was in the house operating budget
but not the senate. He encouraged reinforcement to
keep the Kodiak office open by contacting Senator Jay
Kertula and Representative Ron Larson.
He announced that Prohaska would be in Kodiak the
week of May 3rd and that a meeting with the Assembly
and Hospital Advisory Board would be scheduled. He
thought the study would be completed before the end
of May.
The Mayor disclosed that the Price Waterhouse audit
firm closed their Anchorage office and left Alaska.
He said the Borough's audit contract was transferred
to Deloitte & Touche in Anchorage. He anticipated
miiriimai disruption since Price Waterhouse Alaskan

intention to vote against the reconsideration.
Assemblymember Gould agreed with the statements made
by Assemblymember Austerman.
Assemblymember Fitzjearl asked for an opinion of what
can be discussed under a reconsideration motion. She
opposed the land exchange.
Assemblymember Hancock favored reconsideration
because of statements that disposal and exchange were
two separate entities in the code. She was of the
opinion that policies were needed in the Monashka Bay
area. She said the opportunity to save money was
logical in that the monies would be used for building

Mayor Selby reported that the current contract
expires May 1, 1993. He reiterated that from the
competitive proposals submitted, the Assembly
selected to negotiate with Lutheran Hospitals and
Homes Society.
Mayor Selby supported changes in the contract under
major maintenance but not the changes proposed by the
Hospital Advisory Board. He felt the changes
proposed by the Board limited options and placed
demands on the budget because there were no
limitations. He suggested that Betty Springhill,
Board chairman, speak to the recommendations offered
by the Board.
Betty Springhill offered qualified reasons why the
Board recommended the changes. She urged the
Assembly to award the contract to LHHS.
The Assembly discussed with Mayor Selby points in the
contract, specifically maintenance.

Assemblymember Austerman addressed the overall
contract. It was his desire not to hire LHHS as the
management team for the hospital. He favored hiring
another firm or hiring management under the auspices
of the mayor. He recommended combining the Mental
Health Center and the hospital under health powers.
Assemblymember Hancock was voting against the
approval of the contract because those she spoke with
could not understand hiring a firm that was losing
money. She emphasized that her vote was not a vote
against the hospital, just the management firm. She
felt liability was more accountable with the
Borough's administering.

Assemblymember Milligan favored the contract because
LHHS offered expertise in management.
Assemblymember Monroe believed in the quality of care
and the coming to grips with the financial picture
from the management company.
Assemblymember Gould served as the Assembly
representative on the Hospital Advisory Board. He
favored the contract because of past and present LHHS
performance.

He spoke to the moving of $800,000 from undesignated

added that a potential mill rate increase could

definitely if there would be a mill rate increase
next year.
Assemblymember Austerman was pleased with the amount
of local contribution compared to the overall
increase in the budget. He commended the school
