District No. 1 Board awarding the contract to which Borough staff Scott Arndt, Service District No. 1 Board chairman, was asked to respond to questions from the Assembly as to the reasons the Board recommended Island Sand & Gravel. Mr. Arndt explained that the board looked at experience and past performance, equipment availability and price. He said the bid differential of the two lowest bidders was between 2.0 and 2.5 percent. He noted the learning curve complex in learning the roads when contractors changed. In all considered, Island Sand & Gravel was the low bidder, but he explained that weighing the information was arbitrary. Assemblymember Gould commented on the criteria used. He was of the opinion that a letter of submittal to CONTRACT NO. 93 -29 CONTRACT NO. 93 -30 Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XVII July 1, 1993 Page 6 the Assembly from the Board should have the analysis considered for recommendation. Mr. Arndt denied the allegation that Island Sand & Gravel bought gravel and sand from his company. Mr. Arndt responded to Presiding Officer McFarland's question about the contracted time and materials by saying that Island Sand & Gravel was paid for just the times called out to perform services. Mayor Selby, responding to questions from Assemblymember Milligan, explained that many factors and variables made it difficult to compare; e.g. snowfall amount, equipment used, condition of road, capability of operator, etc. Mr. Arndt responded to Assemblymember Milligan by pointing out that variables also included who calls out the contractor to provide the service and the level of maintenance provided. He pointed out there was leeway to call for optional equipment. Assemblymember Austerman appreciated the work of the service area boards. He felt an obligation to ask questions.

Mayor Selby stated the Womens Bay Service Area Board recommended awarding the two year contract to A -K Construction Co. He said because it was a time and materials contract, there was no contract price. David Conrad, Womens Bay Service Area Board secretary, supported approval of the contract and explained the board selected a company that was familiar with the services needed in the Womens Bay service area. Assemblymember Austerman said this award was similar to Service District No. 1 in that the Board recommended the high bidder. He appreciated the analysis sheet prepared by Borough staff.

Ordinance No. 93 -48 Providing for the Submission to the Qualified Voters of the Kodiak Island Borough the Question of the Issuance of Nine Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,700,000) of General Obligation Bonds of the Kodiak Island Borough to Pay the Costs of School and Related Capital Improvements in the Kodiak Island Borough at an Election in and for the Kodiak Island Borough on October 5, 1993. Presented in first reading was Ordinance No. 93 -48 which, if adopted, incurred general bond indebtedness to pay costs of planning, designing, acquiring, installing and constructing school and related capital improvements in the Borough. GOULD, moved to advance seconded by AUSTERMAN Ordinance No. 93 -48 to public hearing on July 15, 1993. Mayor Selby presented the background on the need for school bonds. He said there were bonds of $50 million available and only Kodiak and Juneau were requesting funds. He explained that state law provided 70 percent reimbursement and that the remaining debt service of $2.9 million over 20 years represented .32 mils. He said that $8.5 million was allocated to new school construction and $1.2 million to remodel and expand Ouzinkie School. He noted that the need at the Ouzinkie School was critical. He noted that all of the village schools were new or expanded, except Ouzinkie School. He told that the 15 -year old facility needed boiler replacement, roof repair, and expanded space. He noted that the additional elementary school impacted the school system because there was the potential to move the sixth grade class back to elementary school to relieve pressure at the junior high school. RESOLUTIONS ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION ORDINANCE NO. 93 -48 Regular Assembly fleeting Volume XVII July 1, 1993 Page 9 At questions raised by Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby explained the positive affect because of the loss of monies because the bonded indebtedness had been paid. He indicated that debt service was added in operating costs in the foundation formula resulting in receiving higher reimbursements. Mayor Selby responded to Presiding Officer McFarland's question by giving a schedule of events leading to final school construction. He explained that general obligation bonds required a vote of the people and pledged full faith and credit of the Kodiak Island Borough to pay off the bonds where revenue bonds did not require a vote of the people as revenue was pledged from specific sources. He added that the Borough's bond rating was high. He noted that the process of selling the bonds was approved by the Assembly.

Ordinance No. 93 -49 Providing for the ORDINANCE Submission to the Qualified Voters of the NO. 93 -49 Kodiak Island Borough the Question of the Issuance of Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,500,000) of General Obligation Bonds of the Kodiak Island Borough to Pay the Costs of Hospital and Related Capital Improvements in the Kodiak Island Borough at an Election in and for the Kodiak Island Borough on October 5, 1993.

Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XVII July 1, 1993 Page 10 VOTE ON MOTION TO ADVANCE Ayes: Mayor Selby invited staff from Prochaska and Associates to give a brief presentation. Don Prochaska introduced Janis Vilums, architect, and Steve Riley, Director of Design. He extended appreciation to staff at the hospital for their cooperation. He reported that the hospital was under grossly undersized stress and unable to provide some of the basic services. He recommended renovating and expanding the hospital to meet current needs to allow revenue generation for operations. Janis Villums gave a synopsis of the use of the new facility and explained that the desire was to create a compact facility with maximized use. Steve Riley gave an overview of bond figures. He said a single project bid package was estimated at $17.6 million and a phased three year project was estimated at $18.1 million. At questions raised, Don Prohaska said that the trend to seek primary health care off Island caused lost hospital revenue. He said the community could support a modern facility that met health care needs. He appreciated Mr. Chandlers' credibility in speaking to the importance of maintaining a primary health care facility. Assemblymember Monroe thought it ironic that primary health care was struggling when Kodiak was healthy and open for business. Presiding Officer McFarland appreciated the approach taken by Prochaska and Associates and agreed to the need to phase as practical. He submitted that a hospital ad hoc committee would represent the community at large and provide direction. Assemblymember Fitzjearl thanked Prochaska and Associates for information and knowledge brought to Kodiak. She toured the hospital and agreed that space was inadequate. She saw antiquated boilers, staff working in cramped quarters, files in bathrooms, sharing of staff lockers. She supported the bond package because she was aware of the need.

Assemblymember Hancock reaffirmed that all rural development rezone requests be treated equally. Assemblymember Fitzjearl was concerned that previous rural development rezone requests were approved. She agreed that all be treated equally and suggested a case -by -case review. Assemblymember Austerman favored a case -by -case review but contended that postponement of previous requests set a precedent to postpone future requests. He favored postponement at first reading of the ordinance.
