PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC HEARING All ordinances and resolutions presented at this rn eetinrt worn intrnannari by title only and copies made available to the public. A. Ordinance No. 96 -10A Amending Ordinance ORDINANCE No. 96 -10 Fiscal Year Budget for 1997 to Reflect NO. 96 -10A an Amendment in the General Fund to Fund the Kodiak Outdoor Theater "Cry of the Wild Ram" Production. Regular Assembly Meeting August 15, 1996 Volume )C I Page 217 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. JOHNSON, seconded by MILLIGAN Regular Assembly Meeting August 15, 1996 moved to adopt 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 Wild Ram" Production. Mayor Selby reported the funds would be used to revitalize the (KOTC) production of the "Ram ". He noted the distribution of funds was contingent on the City of Kodiak contributing equal funds. Presiding Officer Stevens opened the public hearing. Susan Oliver expressed positive feelings for the "Ram" and was thankful for Assemblymember Johnson's dreams. However, she did not see this as a proper process and asked the Assembly to review the facts and figures. She noted that the KOTC raised ten percent of the needed funds. She felt the KOTC should have presented their request during the budget process. She contended that tour ship passengers toured Kodiak but returned to the ship to eat and sleep. She said a family of four would spend $1,000 to travel from Anchorage to Kodiak to see the "Ram ", and she wondered how many would travel to Anchorage to see an outdoor production. She said the Juneau theater closed because a profit was not made. Mary Monroe" said she worked with non - profits and there was an orderly process to request funds. She contended this was requested as if an emergency that set a bad tone for those non - profits that struggled a....a_._ 4-1. a ....mot..... ..4 ., a,...a :.. Y4alaay '..aaa wava.caao va rcy ay uaaaasmi na aaaaauaaag. She was startled by the size of the request and thought the KOTC could start smaller in the auditorium and work to bring the larger dream to fruition. She felt the "Ram" was important to attract tourists but that was a small part of the total economic development of tourism. She wanted Volume XXI Page 218 continued funding to the Chamber to research in -depth the total economic picture for Kodiak. Jan Chatto said she signed the petition but had reservations after attending the joint Assembly/ Council work session. She felt high airline fares would limit the number of tourists_traveling to Kodiak just to see the "Ram ". She noted that other businesses in Kodiak brought in tourists but did not ask for funding. She envisioned a local production. Dale Soughera was opposed and suggested the KOTC present their survey to a bank for financing. As a City and Borough resident, he felt he was taxed twice by the city contributing $60,000 and the borough contributing $60,000. Wanetts Ayres, Kodiak Island Convention and Visitors Bureau executive director, said the KICVB felt the "Ram" would enhance visitor's enjoyment of Kodiak, but she asked the Assembly to evaluate the return to the community. She was concerned that funds would be appropriated for one project to the exclusion of other important projects. She said that of the 25 percent of KICVB members that responded to a letter about funding the "Ram ", 75 percent expressed concern and suggested considering other forms of funding. Jenny Stevens thought funding the project outside of the budget cycle was special treatment. She agreed that tourism was an avenue for the community but tourists did not come to Kodiak for an outdoor theater. She felt the "Ram" could be resurrected as it had started, with a grass roots effort. pat Branson, Kodiak Senior Citizens Center director, considered the "Ram" a wonderful project, but she was concerned about funding outside the budget process. She said if the Borough had $60,000 it should be distributed in a fair manner, such as allowing other non - profits to apply. She said no other non - profit received that large a sum. She noted that the Senior Center raised $60,000 per year through fund raising. Ginny Shank, Arts Council Board member and dance studio owner, informed the Assembly that there was an L t t bri Da l l et Ctr�e nP Mnarnts to K i ak vtrZ,rvr n ..wa �. bring .. . -� -�.. to allow students to see a professional company on stage. She said that although an additional $5,000 was needed to meet expenses, a fund raising event would be held, not a request to the Borough. She was opposed to the Borough funding the $60,000. Regular Assembly Meeting August 15, 1996 Volume XXI Page 219 Ben ArdingPr said the petition was well- received and many felt that renewing the "Ram" was an investment in the community. He felt tourism was an important industry that benefited his business. He thought the City would recoup their investment in the first year through sales tax. He felt that if the community was not kept alive that property values would decline and affect the Borough. Bittia ,7n Garner urged the Assembly to adopt the ordinance. She contended the "Ram" belonged to Kodiak and would draw tourists. She said many agencies looked to foster tourism in Kodiak and had to start from square one, where the "Ram" had been through square one and just needed a boost to succeed. Presiding Officer Stevens closed the public hearing and reconvened the regular meeting. Clerk Smith read a letter from Nancy A. Sweeney, Norman's, Inc., opposing the ordinance. Assemblymember Milligan did not view tourism as a save -all for Kodiak. He did not anticipate that fishing would die because exciting things were happening, and he saw tourism working in concert with fishing. He wondered if the KOTC was truly a non- profit or if banks should be approached for financing. He equated the $118,000 to four new teachers at $30,000 each or funding the Senior Center at $20,000 per year for six years. He did not want people coming to the community to make money and leave, and he felt the "Ram" would foster that. He did not think this request should be held to the rigid budget standards even though out -of -sync with the budget cycle. He thought support could be given but $60,000 was not the way. He was pleased that Kodiak had people with vision. Assemblymember Johnson said he was intimidated in that he respected those who spoke in opposition. He said the "Ram" would be valuable to the community and would allow people an opportunity to learn about Kodiak's history. He said it would not necessarily be a profit - making venture as the desired site changes were ambitious. He said the one -year funding request would enable the KOTC to compete with other non - profits who had staff to do fund - raising. He said the feasibility study was not completed until May, and the KOTC asked to speak at joint work sessions that were subsequently cancelled; therefore, delaying the request to beyond the budget year. He Regular Assembly Meeting August 15, 1996 Volume XXI Page 220 was discouraged that other non - profits felt the "Ram" would not benefit the community. He said $16,000 was raised but there was no time for other fund raising. He contended that the "Ram" ran for 25 years and many came on the ferry so housing problems were limited. He anticipated a worthwhile product at the end of one year. He said that if funds were not allocated, the vision would be trimmed but there was still a need to refurbish the site that could be used for many functions. He asked for full funding to hire staff, start writing grants, and to raise the money through the first years production. He believed that when the first year was completed that the production would demonstrate viability. Assemblymember McFarland was discouraged at the time spent on the request. He knew the community had respect for Assemblymember Johnson. He said it was a compassionate request and that clouded the issue. He felt that all enjoyed the "Ram" but the $118,000 was 17 percent of a mill. He contended that non - profits followed specific timelines and there was always the threat of non - profit funding declining. He was concerned about the magnitude of the request without a comprehensive plan for the 23 acre site for one aspect of the site. He knew that windfall monies were received, but the Borough had existing debts to pay. He did not want to dispel the dream but felt the need to look to the greater public need. Assemblymember Heinrichs agreed with Assemblymember McFarland. He enjoyed watching the "Ram" but felt that was not the issue. Because he felt the budget was strained, he had advanced amendments to reduce the school and Borough budget, and he did not want to grant $60,000 on the tail of those cuts. He said windfall monies should replace those taken from the fund balance. Assemblymember Hancock spoke of potential trades between the City and State. She felt the site could be used for international festivals, music festivals and the "Ram ". She liked the vision and agreed that many came to the community and enjoyed the "Ram ", but this was not the time to spend funds. She noted that a local service club created a music festival without public funds that -any attended a w as be ;al }n the community. Assemblymember Burt thanked those in the audience for attending. He saw a potential for grants to fund the "Ram ". He noted that the tribal chiefs and recycling were two new non - profits that were succeeding. He felt the "Ram" could succeed through another avenue. Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XXI August 15, 1996 Page 221 Assemblymember Johnson asked the Assembly to consider the number of people who signed the petition. He argued that the "Ram" ran for 25 years and crossed generation, business, and professional lines. He was concerned that the "Ram" would die with faded memories. He noted that a Jeopardy contestant answered a question about the "Ram" correctly. He questioned whether the city would continue to honor the lease if the "Ram" were not in production. VOTE ON MOTION TO ADOPT Ayes: Johnson Noes: Burt, Hancock, Heinrichs, McFarland, Milligan, Stevens MOTION FAILED 1 Aye, 6 Noes Presiding Officer Stevens thanked the audience for their participation during the public hearing.

McFARLAND, moved to adopt seconded by MILLIGAN Ordinance No. 96 -06. Mayor Selby said this would rezone land surrounding the existing hydroelectric project in Ouzinkie. He noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval. Presiding Officer Stevens called for public testimony; hearing and seeing none, he reconvened the regular meeting.

MILLIGAN, moved to adopt seconded by HEINRICHS Ordinance No. 96 -07. Mayor Selby said this was a housekeeping measure that changed the department name to a more encompassing term that was in -line with modern technology. Presiding Officer Stevens opened the public hearing. In response to Dale Sougherg, Mayor Selby said employee salaries would not be affected. Presiding Officer Stevens closed the public hearing and reconvened the regular meeting. In response to Assemblymember Burt, Mayor Selby said only the title in the Code would change and there was no change in the salary schedule or personnel policy.

MILLIGAN, moved to adopt seconded by McFARLAND Ordinance No. 96 -08. Volume x a Page 223 Mayor Selby explained that the State of Alaska eliminated the requirements for rotation of names on ballots. He noted that, with rotation, the sample ballot in the newspaper was generally not the same as the ballot presented at the polls. Presiding Officer Stevens called for public testimony; hearing and seeing none-, he reconvened the regular meeting. Assemblymember Burt thought the change unnecessary if no difference was made. Assemblymember Milligan understood the ballots would be less costly to print. Assemblymember Johnson said voters would not vote the ballot based on the position of names. He thought it simplified the job of the Borough Clerk.

He said the Thresholds Recycling Center was operational and the hours would be published. He was glad to see the protect moving forward. He reported that the request for proposal for the Coastal Management Project was out and he expected responses by early September. He said the sensitive areas survey was moving forward. Regular Assembly Meeting August 15, 1996 Volume XXI Page 224 He noted that a national magazine identified that the trend of passing responsibility for state and federal programs to municipal governments had increased. He outlined some of the responsibilities as property tax assessment, deed recording, highways, public works, welfare, and economic development. He appreciated Senator Stevens' staff's intervention in the shutdown of the Ouzinkie Dam Project and that public health services secured the additional funds needed to finish the project. He expected improved drinking water quality and reduced costs. He reported that the State and Local Government Task Force outlined the long -term funding analysis for recommendation to the legislature. He noted the need ! to bring roads and harbors up to standards and transfer them to the City of Kodiak. He also noted the need for the state to determine a state highway system. He felt Chiniak Highway should be state - owned and maintained. He reported that the fiscal gap solutions were being retooled to put a realistic approach to discussion on statewide income tax, undistributed income tax, and the permanent fund.

In response to Presiding Officer Stevens, Clerk Smith related a supporting memorandum from the Planning and Zoning Commission. She noted the Commission recommended that item number 22 Gear Storage Facility be placed as item number 10 on the joint CIP list.
