He said people in Kodiak and residents on Anton Larsen Bay islands use the road. He noted that people in Chiniak and Pasagshak were able to drive those roads every day. He thought the Anton Larsen Bay Road should be higher on the priority list and there should be more discussion with the legislative representatives. Assemblymember Milligan noted that the residents of Port Lions were also tracking and supporting this issue. He said they reiterated that weather influenced flying conditions but boating was not usually influenced by weather.

He noted that, of the five bids received, Anderson Construction was the low bidder. In response to Assemblymember Heinrich's request for a history, Mayor Selby proceeded with the information that a grant was received from the legislature for $100,000 for public purpose. He explained that the $100,000 was spent on constructing the building and finishing work came from a savings on construction of borough roads in a subdivision. He noted the building was not part of the school facilities but would be used in the event of an emergency as a public safety building. He remembered the determination of the Assembly to move the library services into the center and a ballot measure by residents to form a service district to provide library services that was defeated. He provided information on the library funds for operating as being through state funds, a borough grant, and fund raising. He acknowledged that the library service would continue to operate in the center as before and that the borough would pay for major building repair and maintenance. Presiding Officer Monroe announced that some Chiniak residents may appear before the Assembly with strong feelings about the present library building.

Contract No. 95 -08 Kodiak High School Swimming Pool Regrout. moved to award Contract No. 95 -08 to Brechan Enterprises, Inc. of Kodiak in an amount not to exceed $65,680. Mayor Selby explained that the regrouting was necessary to protect the integrity of the liner and underliner of the pool. He said Brechan Enterprises was the low responsive bidder. At questions raised by Presiding Officer Monroe, Mayor Selby stated it was seven years since the last regrout. He said staff was pursuing ways to balance chemicals and minerals in the water so the regrout would last longer. He remembered when regrouting was not done when needed and the pool had to be replaced. When Assemblymember McFarland asked about applying a fiberglass coating to extend the life of the grout, Mayor Selby said the cost was high. He reiterated the importance of maintaining chemical balance and understood City employees were attending training. Assemblymember Heinrichs was dismayed to see the regrout before the Assembly. He was on the Architectural /Engineering Review Board when the pool was previously regrouted. He understood poor water chemistry was the problem and thought automatic equipment to control water chemistry was a way to solve the problem. He thought it was not a capital project and wondered about setting aside funds for future regrouting. Mayor Selby said the project could be amortized and funds set aside. CONTRACT NO. 95 -08 Volume XIX Page 233 Assemblymember Burt felt it hard to believe that products with a life -span of more than seven years were not available. flob Tucker, School District maintenance supervisor, was asked to respond to questions. He reported that tracking of the hardness of water was important because changes in the hardness caused changes in the grout. He explained that the grout being installed would be stronger and with a new water system, it was hoped the life of the grout would be extended.

Mayor Selby said the building was part of the Borough solid waste management program to properly manage and dispose of hazardous waste materials. He said the building would store hazardous waste materials until a disposal contractor was retained. In response to Assemblymember Burt, Mayor Selby explained that the building would store household materials only. He said that when a container arrives, private businesses would be notified to make their own deals with the contractor. He related that the fee would be part of the monthly garbage fee. VOTE ON MOTION TO AWARD Ayes: Noes: None Regular Assembly Mvctimg March 16, 1995 Heinrichs, McFarland, Milligan, Stevens, Burt, Monroe McFarland, Milligan, Stevens, Burt, Heinrichs, Monroe Volume XDE Page 234 Absent: Hancock MOTION CARRIED Unanimous B. RESOLUTIONS RESOLUTIONS 1. Resolution No. 95 -05 Authorizing the RESOLUTION Acquisition of Certain Tax Foreclosed NO. 95 -05 Property for the Year 1993 and Prior Years. Presented for consideration was Resolution No. 95 -05 that, if adopted, accepted a list of 150 delinquent tax properties for the year 1993 and prior years and directed Planning and Zoning Commission review of the properties for recommendations on disposition. McFARLAND, Move to adopt seconded by MILLIGAN Resolution No. 95 -05. Mayor Selby said this was the foreclosure process for property with unpaid taxes for 1993 and prior years. He noted that 67 of the 150 parcels were transferred by the Larsen Bay Tribal Council. He said this was the first of a three step process, followed by Planning and Zoning Commission review and recommendation to the Assembly for disposition. Assemblymember Milligan reviewed the 1993 tax foreclosure map that indicated specific parcels. Mayor Selby confirmed that yellow markers indicated the 1993 list and red markers indicated prior years. At questions raised by Presiding Officer Monroe, Mayor Selby said the total number of parcels was higher than previous years because the Larsen Bay Tribal Council transferred property from a non- taxable status to people who were unable to work the property and pay the taxes. He said it was not a good situation but state statutes dictated the foreclosure process. He anticipated that the Kodiak Bear Refuge would be interested in acquiring parcels with prime bear habitat and would pay fair market value. He said once the property was sold, the Borough would retain the tax due and the property owner would receive the remaining funds. In response to Assemblymember Stevens, Mayor Selby explained that the 67 parcels were private holdings within the boundaries of the Refuge. Assemblymember McFarland raised the issue of lands released into private ownership and the option to not lease lands until they were ready to be developed. Regular Assembly Meeting March 16, 1995 Volume XIX Page 235 1 Assemblymember Burt would hate to see lands revert back to the government and out of private hands. VOTE ON MOTION TO ADOPT Ayes: Noes: Absent: MOTION CARRIED McFARLAND, seconded by MILLIGAN VOTE ON MOTION TO APPOINT Ayes: Noes: Absent: MOTION CARRIED 2. Contract No High School MILLIGAN, seconded by HEINRICHS Regular Assembly Meeting March 16, 1995 Milligan, Stevens, Burt, Heinrichs, McFarland, Monroe None Hancock Unanimous C. ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION None. D. OTHER ITEMS 1. Appointment to Architectural Review Board. moved to appoint William F. Matzell to a seat on the Architectural Review Board to expire December, 1995. After a short discussion on the composition of the board, further discussion was scheduled for a work session. Stevens, Burt, Heinrichs, McFarland, Milligan, Monroe None Hancock Unanimous . 91 -07 Amendment for Kodiak Phase IVB Alterations. moved to amend Contract No. 91 -07 for professional services for the Kodiak High School Phase IVB ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION OTHER ITEMS APPOINTMENT TO ARB CONTRACT NO. 91 -07 Volume XIX Page 236 Alterations in an amount not to exceed $102,733 to Kumin Associates, Inc. of Anchorage. Mayor Selby explained this was an amendment to the original contract for the four phases of the project that started in 1991. He distributed information from the original study that lead to the four phase concept. He said original discussion included an addition of administrative space outside the building along the hallway by the gymnasium but was not part of the phased project. He said $4.6 million was identified for code violations and referred to a list of costs relating to correcting electrical, water and other deficiencies in the building. He noted that additions and the remodel increased the cost to $18 million. He said the analysis indicated the four phase approach was appropriate. He outlined the four phases and listed the projects completed. He said a majority of the work was accomplished and the amendment was to pay Kumin Associates, Inc. for design work completed in preparation to bid the project. He noted the Architectural /Engineering Review Board would review the drawings and anticipated the project to begin in summer 1995. When Assemblymember Milligan asked if this was the final architectural contract to Kumin Associations, Inc., Mayor Selby replied yes. He said that any further remodeling would need ed specs from the school district for a program of work to be bid. Mayor Selby noted that 12 additional classrooms would be gleaned from the envelope of the existing building. He thought it was a wise investment to turn under utilized space into classrooms for more efficiency. Assemblymember Burt was concerned that more people were working in trade fields and yet classroom space for trade education was reduced. He did not understand the compatibility of fisheries and woodworking. He wanted to take a closer look. Presiding Officer Monroe requested a five -year plan for the future growth of the high school and a general plan about growth for all facilities from the school board. Assemblymember Stevens asked for a tour of the high school as it was hard to visualize the development. Regular Assembly Meeting March 16, 1995 Volume XIX Page 237 At Assemblymember Heinrichs' inquiry, Mayor Selby stated the to -date cost was approximately $3.4 million. When Presiding Officer Monroe asked what funds were being used, Mayor Selby replied that it was general funds. At questions raised by Assemblymember Heinrichs, Mayor Selby stated the most significant code compliance change was that the entire building had a sprinkler system. He added that fire, electrical, plumbing and ADA issues were also addressed. Assemblymember McFarland was under the impression that was not part of the original plan and was just the beginning. He urged the Assembly to agree that if this phase was completed, it would be the last. He was willing to look at the design but felt it was important to be informed on exactly what the final product would be. Presiding Officer Monroe thought additional information would be available when the Assembly met in work session with the School Board. Assemblymember Milligan said the building, originally a vocational education facility, was remodeled around changing requirements to accommodate a student body that was predominantly headed to college. He felt the remodel was well thought out and responsive to the needs of the community. Assemblymember Burt did not know how well thought out it was without seeing more information. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND Ayes: Noes: Burt Absent: Hancock MOTION CARRIED 5 Ayes, 1 No Assemblymember Stevens reiterated his strong desire to tour the high school.

CITIZENS' COMMENTS Bruce Schactler, a member of the Kodiak Salmon Work Group, took the opportunity to report that Kodiak fisheries- were unaffected by our northern neighbor's assault. He thanked all for the support financially and providing a office to work in. He announced the Board of Fish was going on a retreat in April to design a blueprint for a work group such as Kodiak's to be applied to other areas. Unfortunately, as he noted, this would need to be done again in November. Assemblymember McFarland commended the group. He thought they should be very proud of themselves for setting a model for other groups. He heard the Board of Fish was pleased with the organization and felt that made the outcome very successful. Br. Schactler announced the Board of Fish would be meeting in Kodiak in November. He encouraged the Assembly to lobby for funding better research. Regular Assembly Meeting March 16, 1995 CITIZENS' COMMENTS Volume XIX Page 239 Presiding Officer Monroe thought the Group was a shining example of political action. She wished the Group good luck in November. Assemblymember Burt was pleased that government protected the rights of individuals. Chris_Rerns spoke on the Alliance Against IFQs. He felt people were disappointed with a letter from Governor Knowles because the State did not support the fight against the preemption of state waters by the federal government. He said the federal government took over the black cod fishery without proper procedure. He felt it was no different than the federal government taking over state oil revenue which was also a renewable resource. ASSEMBLYMEMBER COMMENTS Assemblymember McFarland congratulated the student of the month. He thought the permanent funds derived from the sale of Shuyak Island would be the vehicle for pool maintenance projects. He was concerned about Mr. Lester's grievance but noted that the code did not allow for a reduction in fees and was not always fair for every person. After discussion, a special work session was called for Monday, March 20, 1995 at 10:00 a.m. to tour the Kodiak High School. Assemblymember Stevens complimented Karl Short on receipt of the Finance Award. He complimented Mayor Egan who voluntarily sat through the assembly meeting. Assemblymember Heinrichs thanked Port Lions for their hospitality. He congratulated Kevin O'Leary on his appointment to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. Assemblymember Milligan realized that the resolution he asked to be introduced happened rather quickly. He did not see Kodiak as a main player but it would give the opportunity to address oil shipping that was a constant concern to this community. He asked that it be placed on the next agenda. He thanked Clerk Smith and her staff for their last minute assistance on the resolution. He felt Clerk Smith was doing a good job and there was camaraderie in the Clerk's Office. Regular Assembly Meeting March 16, 1995 ASSEMBLYMEMBER COMMENTS Volume XIX Page 240 He shared a picture he received for serving on the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council. Assemblymember Burt explained his no vote on the contract amendment in that as a representative on the ARB, he saw a constant problem of the school district pushing issues without sufficient work behind them. He wanted to take a better look at money spent and felt the need for cooperation. Presiding Office Monroe felt many had expressed frustration in waiting for information. When she asked who would participate in the tour with the Assembly, Mayor Selby indicated that a Borough staff member and school representative would be there. Presiding Officer Monroe felt strongly that the Assembly wanted answers before discussions with the school board. Mayor Selby knew they felt they saw bits and pieces and needed a structure of where the project was headed but it would not be available in another month. He emphasized the school board needed time to put effort into submitting a quality product. He said the school district's charge was to bring program needs to the Assembly for the decision on whether monies for facilities was available. Presiding Officer Monroe reiterated that preliminaries on what direction the high school was moving were needed. Assemblymember Burt thought the school board needed to bring forth information and emphasized that the Assembly needed a substantial idea of the direction they were headed. Assemblymember McFarland felt school administration now had a clear message that this was the end of the first product and it was time to build a new product. Presiding Officer Monroe felt it was a good product for the effort. She understood school administration was busy with other issues. Presiding Officer Monroe announced the Assembly would meet in a work session in Ouzinkie March 23; a work session in the borough conference room at 7:30 p.m. on March 30; and regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the assembly chambers on April 6. Members of the assembly would be traveling to Juneau to attend AML Legislative Committee meetings March 27 through 29. Regular Assembly Meeting March 16, 1995 Volume XIX Page 241 16.
