Agenda Items Not Scheduled For Public Hearing Presiding Officer Stevens excused Assemblymember Johnson from the dias, at his request, to speak as a member of the public. pob Johnson, Kodiak Outdoor Theater Corporation (KOTC) president, requested passage of Ordinance No. 96 -10A. For the public's information, he noted that the KOTC was formed less than two years ago to revitalize the "Cry of the Wild Ram" outdoor theater drama. He said the KOTC approached the Kodiak City Council and, as they suggested, a feasibility study was done in May with the aid of the City and Borough through a Kodiak Chamber of Commerce economic grant. He felt the Council would support funding if the Assembly demonstrated support. He summarized the feasibility study and the plan to renovate the theater, expand the parking lot, and redramatize and shorten the play for production in 1998. He knew this was an ambitious project. He quoted from the feasibility study that outlined the establishment of an organized fund raising campaign as a first -year funding source to hire an executive director, part- Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 APPROVAL OF MINUTES AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH CITIZENS' COMMENTS Volume XXI Page 198 time staff, and provide travel funds. He proposed a campaign to raise $1,500,000 to realize an estimated economic impact to Kodiak of $1,395,692 by bringing 10,000 visitors to see the drama. He was convinced there was public support. He asked those in the audience who supported the plan to stand. Assemblymember Milligan was under the impression that the feasibility study recommended the KOTC solicit community funding but instead was soliciting funding from the local governments. Bob Johnson responded that the $118,000 was needed to begin the campaign to raise $1,500,000. He said the KOTC would try to raise the second year budget funds. Assemblymember Milligan remembered that in a recent work session, Assemblymember McFarland suggested exploring the concept of trading land with the City to enable the Borough to acquire the Ram site. Bob Johnson said that was not explored because it had no connection to the request for funds for a community venture. Assemblymember Milligan thought it was a creative way to not strain the Borough's budget. Assemblymember Johnson returned to the dias. Wayne Stevens, Hospital Advisory Board chair, noted that the Board's recommendation on the hospital management contract negotiations was included in the Assembly packet. He remained to answer questions. Alice Knowles, Hospital Advisory Board member, wanted the hospital to retain autonomy but realized the need for a partnership to function in home care. She requested the Assembly proceed cautiously. She asked what would happen if negotiations with one agency failed. Mayor Selby responded that the Assembly would give direction either to negotiate with the other agency or resolicit other options. Presiding Officer Stevens examined the Assembly's role to forward questions and concerns during i L the kept br L the negotiations as 1.116 Assembly was AG1.JL abreast of L11G current status of the negotiations. Alice Knowles acknowledged this as a most significant issue for health care in Kodiak. Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 Volume XX1 Page 199 Ed Myers, Hospital administrator, reported that the Board thoroughly evaluated the process by asking questions, receiving financial statements, on -site visits, and developing relationships. He said the process was long and all had ample opportunity to ask questions and answers. He said his role through Lutheran Homes Society (LHS) was only to facilitate that decision. When Assemblymember Milligan asked what would happen to LHS, Mr. Myers said that LHS held the position that what was best for the community was best for LHS. He explained that a delivery system was required and LHS was a management system. He recognized that future community needs needed to be met as health care was changing. In response to Assemblymember Milligan, Mr. Myers said neither management firm was chosen so that LHS might stay. Assemblymember Milligan appreciated what LHS had done for the hospital. He could not find a reason to differentiate between Providence and Columbia. Mr. Myers said the Board discussed current programs with Providence such as teleradiology, cardiac rehab, neo -nato, etc., and, as a result of the scope and nature of operating philosophies, the Board felt that Providence's services most closely met the current operation's philosophy. He explained a lease function as the ownership of the building to the one entity and the operations to another. At Assemblymember Johnson's statement that nothing precluded LHS from continuing, Mr. Myers agreed. When Assemblymember Hancock asked if Providence or Columbia could contract with LHS, 14r Myers said the nature of the proposal was strictly for management, lease, or purchase. Ben Ardinger recognized that through the efforts of Dr. Bob Johnson, the auditorium became a reality. He supported the "Ram" because tourism as a new industry needed examining. the "Ram" - a....�; for l g was invoivcu in uae na.0 p` ^. ^..� �..a ten years. She learned about the island and was introduced to theater and arts while in high school. She wanted the "Ram" revitalized because it was a family and community project. Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 Volume XXI Page 200 Virginia Collins, Collins and Associates, spoke on behalf of Sharon Anderson regarding Columbia's proposal. She was present to address any questions. She said Columbia did not have a "cookie cutter" approach to working and networking with community hospitals. She noted that Columbia's proposal was based on the request- for - proposal (RFP). She focused on Columbia's willingness to consider any option. She did not insist and was not insisting on a purchase of the facility. She advocated the willingness to develop options to pursue development of services that were best for the community. Billye Routzan directed attention to the fact that people from all over the world attended "Ram" productions and that brought money to Kodiak. She encouraged consideration of the ordinance. Mary Mair was not a permanent resident of Kodiak but had participated as a player and in the audience of the "Ram ". She encouraged support of the ordinance. Candace Perham maintained that other industries in Kodiak besides fishing needed promoting. She felt the "Ram" was a worthwhile project. She visited a community with an outdoor theater that contributed to a thriving community as it catered to tourists. Eleanor Ramos saw economic benefit in revitalizing the "Ram ". She was questioned by visitors as to what there was to do and see. She felt the "Ram" helped people be involved in the community and deserved support. Jeff Butcher, Kodiak Westmark Hotel manager, said the president of Westmark Hotels supported the "Ram ". He spoke with operators who would incorporate the "Ram" in their tours. He asked for support so that the revitalization of the "Ram" could come to fruition. Hanel Ardinger asked for support for Dr. Johnson's dream as it meant a lot for the economy and lifestyles of people who live in the community. Clerk Smith read letters from Karl Frederick Childc and Hans and Herta mschersich supporting financial support for revitalization of the "Ram ". Presiding Officer Stevens read a fax from aim Carmichael in support of the "Ram ". B. Items Other Than Those Appearing on the Agenda None. Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 Volume XX( Page 201 COMMITTEE REPORTS COMMITTEE REPORTS Assemblymember Johnson reported that Larry LeDoux completed a proposal for the Alaska Humanities Forum that realized a $2,500 grant for the "Town Meeting ". Assemblymember Heinrichs reported that the first meeting of the School District Long Term Funding Task Force was productive and an agenda for gathering information was developed. He said the Task Force would be meet again on August 13 at 7 p.m. in the school district conference room. He hoped the conclusion of the meetings would bring forth direction for school funding. He said the Task Force chair would be selected at the next meeting.

He credited Jay Bellinger's efforts. As a follow -up to the Town Meeting report, He said a letter from the City of Kodiak offered to pay one - half of the Town Meeting expense up to $3,000. He thought the Humanities Forum grant would reduce the request for $6,000 from the government bodies. He thanked the City for their cooperation. He summarized a report from Brad Gilman, federal lobbyist, on the Magnuson Act, sewer upgrades, appropriations and continued debate on IFQs, the Near Island Research Facility (NIRF) building, the rocket launch complex, the Coast Guard reauthorization of eliminating on -shore oil handlers, the safe drinking water act, and the subsistence issue. He scanned Trevor McCabe's report on Senator Stevens appropriation for unused construction monies as a pre - payment on NIRF leases. He described the discussion to prohibit debate on IFQs for one year and the likeliness of reaching agreement to be adopted before the August recess. He recounted Senator Stevens' staff's investigation into public health services proposal to stop work on the dam in Ouzinkie. He remarked that it was hoped the project would be completed this fall. He reviewed the state and local governmental task force dealings in largo transportation 4 eenee as funding for airports, airport improvements and maintenance, the Alaska Marine Highway, and other public safety concerns to present to the legislature for real solutions. Regular Assembly Meeting Volume 30Q August 1, 1996 Page 203 He reported that staff was busy on construction projects while the weather was good. He briefed the Assembly on the need to send all available water - carrying barrels to Akhiok so water could be shuttled from the Alitak cannery because their dam went dry. When Assemblymember Milligan asked for a summary on the subsistence issue, Mayor Selby considered the main thrust to be to preclude future federal governmental managing of salmon waters. After a ten minute recess at 8:47 p.m., Presiding Officer Stevens reconvened the regular meeting. OLD BUSINESS None. NEW BUSINESS A.

Assemblymember McFarland thought it was a good price because he remembered a previous siren purchased at near the same price.

ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION 1. Ordinance No. 96 -10A Amending Ordinance No. 96 -10 Fiscal Year Budget for 1997 to Reflect an Amendment in the General Fund to Fund the Kodiak Outdoor Theater "Cry of the Ram" Production. Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -10A that, if adopted, amended the fiscal year 1997 budget by increasing use of the general fund balance by $60,000 and adding a line item in Department 190 Education, Culture, and Recreation named "Kodiak Outdoor Theater Corporation" (KOTC) to add $60,000, contingent upon the City of Kodiak contributing a like amount. MILLIGAN, moved to advance seconded by McFARLAND Ordinance No. 96 -10A to public hearing on August 15, 1996. Mayor Selby reported that the KOTC requested the one- time funding to start revitalization of the "Cry of the Wild Ram ". He noted the funds would become available only if the City of Kodiak provided the same amount. Presiding Officer Stevens noted the City Council postponed action until meeting with the Assembly at a joint work session on August 20, 1996. In response to inquiries by Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby's view was that debate on the request was separate from the fund balance. His opinion was that the proposal needed to be funded on the merit, or lack thereof, of what was good for the community. Assemblymember McFarland took issue with perception that the vote indicated whether one was for or against the "Ram ". He felt it was out of sync with the budget cycle and funds were from the general fund. He noted the $50,000 cut from the school district budget. He reiterated that the request did Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 None Burt Unanimous RESOLUTIONS ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION ORDINANCE NO. 96 -10A Volume XXI Page 206 not come during the budget cycle when all non - profits submitted their requests. He was willing to listen but had concern about the process. Assemblymember Milligan appreciated Assemblymember McFarland's comments. He said $60,000 was a lot of money. He said the proposal was of concern but it established history and continuity in the community through a strong following. He hoped the Assembly and Council would seriously consider the proposal for bringing money into the community. It was his intent to advance the ordinance to public hearing since he was supportive but skeptical. Assemblymember Hancock supported advancing the ordinance to public hearing but wanted to convey her point of view as she was previously involved in the "Ram ". She thought the mechanism for the request was disturbing in that other sources of revenue, such as portions of an area -wide bed tax that benefited tourism, could be allocated to the "Ram ". Although she supported the "Ram ", the process was a concern. Assemblymember Johnson thought the ordinance should be forwarded to public hearing where public comments would be heard. It was his impression that four City Councilmembers and Mayor were supportive. Presiding Officer Stevens summarized the procedure in that if the motion passed, the ordinance would be forwarded to public hearing on August 15, 1996. VOTE ON MOTION TO ADVANCE Ayes: Noes: None Absent: Burt MOTION CARRIED Unanimous 2. Ordinance No. 96 -06 Rezoning Approximately ORDINANCE 1,595 Acres± Near the City of Ouzinkie From NO. 96 -06 R1- Single Family Residential and C- rnnco mn W- Watersh_ed (Generally Located West of the City of Ouzinkie) Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 Milligan, Hancock, Heinrichs, Johnson, McFarland, Stevens Volume XXI Page 207 Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -06 that, if adopted, rezoned property to provide basic protection of water quality for the City of Ouzinkie community to ensure that future power generation needs of the community will be met. Ordinance No. 96 -06 was advance to public hearing on ORDINANCE August 15, 1996 under "Consent Agenda ". NO. 96 -07 3. Ordinance No. 96 -07 Amending Kodiak Island Borough Code of Ordinances Title 2 Administration and Personnel Chapter 2.33 Data Processing Department to Change the Name to the Management Information Systems Department. Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -07 that, if adopted, amended KIBC Title 2 by changing the name of the department to an acceptable title within the computer industry. Ordinance No. 96 -07 was advanced to public hearing on August 15, 1996 under "Consent Agenda ". 4. Ordinance No. 96 -08 Amending Kodiak Island ORDINANCE Borough Code of Ordinances Title 7 NO. 96 -08 Elections Chapter 7.30 Procedures for Conduct of Elections to Reflect Changes in the Ballot Form. Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -08 that, if adopted, amended KIBC Title 7 to allow the clerk to randomly determine placement of names of candidates on the ballot for each office. MILLIGAN, moved to advance seconded by HEINRICHS Ordinance No. 96 -08 to public hearing on August 15, 1996. Mayor Selby deferred the staff report to Clerk Smith. Clerk Smith said the State of Alaska changed the statutes to eliminate rotation. She noted the reason was that the sample ballot was printed in alphabetical order and the official ballot was not. She noted there would be a cost savings with random placement. She said the Borough could set a policy and she recommended the change. It was requested that the reasons the State of Alaska changed their regulations be provided. Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 Volume XXI Page 208 VOTE ON MOTION TO ADVANCE Ayes: Noes: Absent: MOTION CARRIED D. OTHER ITEMS Hancock, Heinrichs, Johnson, McFarland, Milligan, Stevens None Burt Unanimous 1. Near Island Research Facility Building Schematic Design Dated June 13, 1996. HEINRICHS, seconded by MILLIGAN moved to approve the Near Island Research Facility Building Schematic Design dated June 13, 1996. Mayor Selby explained that the Architectural Review Board (ARB) studied the floor plan and overall approach. In response to Assemblymember McFarland, Presiding Officer Stevens recollected that the Assembly directed the Mayor to move ahead with the construction manager approach. Assemblymember Milligan said the ARB made many recommendations and asked for.extensive review at the 60 and 90 percent drawings. He noted the ARB had favored construction management for the complicated building where seawater was pumped. He favored a construction management firm because there were advantages to a construction management firm's expertise during the design phase for continued maintenance of the building. Responding to Presiding Officer Stevens, Mayor Selby noted the use of concrete would be discussed since the quality of concrete in Kodiak was in question. He expressed the desire to build a 50 year building, therefore, there would be extensive contact between ththe ..t.. -..tor n A nl.itant no mulity no m,tterialc e �.vu.. uu.a .. . i would be the focus in order for changes to occur during construction. He emphasized it would be an interactive process. Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 OTHER ITEMS NIRF BUILDING SCHEMATIC DESIGN Volume XXI Page 209 At Assemblymember Heinrich's inquiry, Mayor Selby said the Borough would retain a full -time construction inspector as the owner's representative with the mayor making the final decision by listening to all three parties. He thought it would be ideal to hire someone interested in both the inspector and maintenance position as that person would have been involved in the building from the start. VOTE ON MOTION TO APPROVE Ayes: Heinrichs, Johnson, McFarland, Milligan, Hancock, Stevens Noes: None Absent: Burt MOTION CARRIED Unanimous 2. Authorization for the Mayor to Negotiate a AUTHORIZATION Kodiak island Hospital and Care Center FOR MAYOR TO Management Contract. NEGOTIATE HOSPITAL MILLIGAN, moved to authorize the MANAGEMENT seconded by McFARLAND Mayor to enter into CONTRACT negotiations with Providence Health System for the Kodiak Island Hospital and Care Center Management contract. Mayor Selby was impressed with all who were involved in the review process and the questions asked. He was ready to proceed with negotiations with Providence. Mayor Selby answered Assemblymember Milligan in that the finance director and mayor would be involved in the RFP evaluation. Mayor Selby added that the Borough finance director, Hospital Advisory Board, and hospital staff used different approaches to their recommendations, and that regardless of the choice, the referral options were still in place and if necessary, Alaska Regional could still be chosen. He noted that the request for proposal requested the philosophy of the delivery of care needed in Kodiak. Assemblymember Hancock was uncomfortable making a decision at this time because she did not feel both companies presented the same information. She had further questions on the information presented by Karl Short, Borough finance director. She wanted more information before negotiations were started. Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XXI August 1, 1996 Page 210 Assemblymember Johnson explained the presentations could not cover all issues because the medical field was changing. He was comfortable with the information received and the recommendations from the Hospital Advisory Board and medical staff. Assemblymember Milligan questioned whether sufficient information was received and the issues examined thoroughly enough to commit to a decision. In response, Mayor Selby explained that Lutheran Homes Society (LHS) would continue to provide contract language. He pointed out that LHS could be retained by one of the parties but that would be a private contract where the Borough may have input but no control. He emphasized the answer to the management arrangement would be available before the contract was awarded. Responding to an additional question from Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby did not see an advantage in waiting for pending legislation on national health care because there was no indication when the next attempt would be. It was his opinion that what the trends were did not need to be considered. McFARLAND, moved to postpone seconded by MILLIGAN authorization for the mayor to enter into negotiations to the September 5, 1996 regular meeting to allow the assembly time to hold three separate executive sessions, one with each entity and one with the mayor. Assemblymember McFarland considered that information and recommendations should be discussed with the Borough attorney and staff as well as with each company to establish clear guidelines during the negotiation process. Assemblymember Milligan supported the motion because the contract would have financial impact. When Presiding Officer Stevens asked for the reasons for executive sessions, Assemblymember McFarland answered that ammo of hie: mtoctinnc had financial impacts to the Borough. Assemblymember Johnson opposed the motion because questions would surface during negotiations. Regular Assembly Meeting August 1, 1996 Volume XXI Page 211 Assemblymember Hancock wanted more discussion and information since the Assembly represented a larger contingency than the Hospital Advisory Board and medical staff.

She noted that Ms. Hurt was also active with KAMI by turning the adversity in her life around. She said Ms. Hurt would be missed for her belief in the cause and plight of mental health. Assemblymember Milligan explained that the assembly viewed a bigger picture, therefore, not all the recommendations from various entities were followed. He wanted Assemblymember Burt present for the discussion before a decision was made. Assemblymember McFarland appreciated the support of the various groups but felt there needed to be more involvement by Karl Short and Mayor Selby in the process to allow directions for negotiations to be presented by the assembly. Responding to Assemblymember McFarland, Linda Freed, reported that the Planning & Zoning Commission planned to travel to Larsen Bay to view the foreclosed properties and the assembly would be invited to participate.
