COMMITTEE REPORTS COMMITTEE REPORTS Assemblymember Johnson reported that the consultants from the Institute of Cultural Affairs were training the facilitators for the Town Meeting. Assemblymember Heinrichs announced that the School District Long -Term Funding Task Force met and reviewed the final report that would be presented to the Assembly in November. PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC HEARING All ordinances and resolutions presented at this meeting were introduced by title only and copies made available to the public. A. Ordinance No. 96 -12 Amending Kodiak Island ORDINANCE Borough Code of Ordinances Title 6 Animals NO. 96 -12 Chapter 6.04 Animal Control to Clarify Language Pertaining to Small Domesticated Animals and Farm Animals. Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -12 that, if adopted, amended Kodiak Island Borough Code to clarify the difference between small domesticated animals and farm animals. The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 96 -12 was before the Assembly. McFARLAND, seconded by JOHNSON moved to amend Ordinance No. 96 -12 by substitution. Mayor Selby said the ordinance would differentiate between animals within the City of Kodiak and those outside the City limits. Presiding Officer Stevens opened the public hearing. Karen Yashin referred to live traps in that some feral animals trapped were a problem, but not all. She noted that the villages had no recourse with Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 CITIZENS' COMMENTS Volume XXII Page 3 animal control. She read from a petition that recommended language changes in the ordinance. She spoke on Sandy Drabek's behalf who lost a pet in a live trap. In response to Assemblymember Burt, Ms. Yashin said the animal control officer was available to transport trapped animals. She was told they would be available on weekends but did not know about twenty - four hour service. She considered it humane to have guidelines to ensure the safety of trapped animals because many could be adopted. Assemblymember Burt thought it was a dog and cat problem and that animals who did damage, if released, could continue to do damage. Ms. Yashin noted that livestock occasionally killed animals. She placed her trust in the animal control officer. At questions raised by Assemblymember Milligan, Ms. Yashin said she hoped people would borrow traps from the animal shelter because they were humane enclosures. She felt the ordinance addressed the major conflicts. Chris Jensen participated in the task force meetings, although he had not seen the ordinance. He believed Assemblymember Burt's intent was to make language understandable. He felt live trapping remained unresolved and the workload of the animal control officer would increase. He saw no compelling reason to create new controls. Nancy Jensen, Cloudcover Farms, thought the ordinance was directed at dogs and cats and did not serve ranchers or farmers. She felt the recommended changes did not burden borough residents nor the animal control officer. She thanked Bill Jones, City manager, for his leadership. She contended that the task force developed excellent recommendations, and she objected to the wording in the petition. Stacy Studebaker telephoned to say she supported the wording in the petition. Tina Burns stated that if animals were trapped humanely, the animal control officer would treat the animals humanely. Karen Yashin reiterated that intentional capture should not be confused with fur trapping that unintentionally caught domestic animals. Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 Volume VCR Page 4 Kathy Colwell noted that the animal control officer did not provide service on weekends but the City manager said someone would be available to pick -up animals. She supported live trapping and felt the petition reflected the community's concern. Brenda Kramer objected to animals being destroyed once trapped. She noted that owners would be liable for damage if animals were held at the animal shelter. In response to Assemblymember McFarland, Ms. Colwell explained that the language served as a notice to the animal control officer when live trapping was taking place. She noted that if a domesticated cat was missing, the animal control officer could call a trapper to inquire whether the cat had been trapped. Responding to Mayor Selby, Ms. Colwell explained that the language was written to serve many situations and a decision could be made about the disposition of the animal. Deb Walser clarified that Chiniak was not a village and used the Alaska State Trooper service. She was concerned that geese would be subject to the law as a nuisance. She noted the animal control officer served mainly the city and immediate outlying area. Kathy Colwell agreed that the animal control officer did not provide service to Chiniak. It was her opinion that the language in the petition addressed domesticated pets. She suggested adding cats and dogs to the language in the petition language. Responding to Assemblymember McFarland, Ms. Colwell said the shelter provided different styles of traps. Sharon Harris favored the substituted version language as well as including the petition language. She noted she had problems with dogs. Kathy Dakalanea, animal shelter manager, asked the Assembly to consider adding the petition language. She said many trapped cats made great pets. She wanted animals to have a chance and owners to have a chance to reclaim their animals. She wanted a chance to evaluate animals for placement. In responding to Assemblymember Burt's questions about livestock that was killed, Ms. Dakalanea said the animal would be placed where it could not kill again. Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 Volume )OLI Page 5 Presiding Officer Stevens closed the public hearing and reconvened the regular meeting. JOHNSON, seconded by MILLIGAN moved to amend the amendment by adding section B of the petition: All animals that are live trapped must be turned over to the animal control officer or impounded at the animal shelter. If a trapped animal has injured itself in a severe manner, or if the trapped animal poses an immediate threat to a person, then upon notification to the animal control officer, a person may humanely destroy the live- trapped animal.. Section 6.04.012.B is waived in communities not serviced by an animal control shelter." Assemblymember Burt felt this was a classic example of what worked in the City but would not work in the Borough. He thought the solution was for people to make a judgement on destroying the animal or calling the animal control officer. Assemblymember Johnson favored the additional language. Mayor Selby agreed with the amendment but also suggested wording that would allow people to decide whether to release an animal or remand it to the animal control officer. He suggested deleting the sentence about destroying animals because it was unenforceable. In response to Assemblymember McFarland, Mayor Selby said that all live- trapped, domestic animals must be remanded to the animal control officer, impounded at the shelter, or released. He added there was no need for the sentence at the end regarding a waiver for communities without animal shelter services. Parliamentary procedures was discussed. Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 Volume =I Page 6 Assemblymember Milligan supported the language because it gave direction to the public. He thought people had emotional attachments to goats and ducks as much as cats and dogs. Assemblymember Burt agreed with Assemblymember Milligan because the language showed respect for people with livestock.

B. Ordinance No. 96 -09 Amending Kodiak Island ORDINANCE Borough Code of Ordinances Title 2 NO. 96 -09 Administration and Personnel Chapter 2.12 Personnel to Reflect Amendments to the Kodiak Island Borough Code of Personnel Rules and Regulations by Ordinance Only. Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -09 that, if adopted, amended the borough code to reflect that all amendments to the manual of personnel policies and procedures and maintenance of the position classification and pay plans shall be made by ordinance only. McFARLAND, moved to adopt seconded by MILLIGAN Ordinance No. 96 -09. Mayor Selby considered changes to the personnel rules as an administrative task. His recommendation, as Volume XXII Page 8 well as that of the Personnel Advisory Board, was to defeat the ordinance. Presiding Officer Stevens called for public testimony; hearing and seeing none he reconvened the regular meeting. Assemblymember Milligan reflected on recent events that needed more discussion during the budget process. Assemblymember Burt did not want to micro- manage but wanted to address a flaw he saw in the system. Assemblymember McFarland noted that at one time the assembly reviewed all classifications but determined it was really an administrative task. He said newly - created positions were discussed during the budget process, and he did not want the Assembly to micro - manage. He felt the assembly's responsibility was to set policy through the budget process. Assemblymember Burt's concern was the negative budget in the Engineering and Facilities Department where positions were not visible. He argued that the total budget was voted on by the assembly and administered by staff. VOTE ON MOTION TO ADOPT Ayes: Burt Noes: Hancock, Heinrichs, Johnson, McFarland, Milligan, Stevens MOTION FAILED 1 Aye, 6 Noes C. Ordinance No. 96 -14 Establishing an ORDINANCE Education Fund by Amending Title 3 Revenue NO. 96 -14 and Finance of the Kodiak Island Borough Code of Ordinances by Adding Section 3.04.052 Education Fund. Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -14 that, if adopted, amended Title 3 for the purpose of establishing a permanent fund for all education nrnaramc ac a canaratc invactmant f,rndc A ict i not frnm all other funds. McFARLAND, moved to adopt seconded by JOHNSON Ordinance No. 96 -14. Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 Volume XXII Page 9 Mayor Selby said the ordinance introduced a concept that would establish an educational fund for the Borough. He noted the principal of the fund could only be spent with a 2/3 vote of the voters and 15 percent would be maintained as inflation proofing. He outlined that the funds could be spent on the Near Island Research Facility, Kodiak College and the Borough School District. In response to Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby reported there was $1.5 to $1.8 million yearly earnings available for appropriation. Responding to Assemblymember Burt, Mayor Selby noted that the only deposits in the fund would be earnings from litigation, working in conjunction with the budget process. McFARLAND, seconded by MILLIGAN moved to amend Ordinance No. 96 -14 in Section 3.04.052.A by adding after the word: "Assembly" the words: "will make an appropriation of up to $500,000 in fiscal year 1997 and ". Assemblymember McFarland said his amendment indicated a need to diversify revenue to allow the assembly to work with the mayor. Assemblymember Burt debated the amendment by noting the need to know where the monies would come from. Assemblymember Johnson thought the amendment indicated the intent of the assembly. Responding to Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby clarified that a budget amendment could be considered to indicate the assembly's desire to start funding the education endowment fund now. Assemblymember Hancock agreed with Assemblymember Burt in that sometimes intent becomes reality. Assemblymember McFarland felt it was important to start now because federal funds could decrease. Assemblymember Milligan thought the funds would establish a fund to provide for sound fiscal management. Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 Volume XXII Page 10 Assemblymember Heinrichs felt the decision of the amount to set up the fund should be made during the budget process. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND Ayes: Noes: MOTION CARRIED MILLIGAN, seconded by McFARLAND VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND Ayes: Nnnc• Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 Heinrichs, Johnson, McFarland, Milligan, Stevens Hancock, Burt 5 Ayes, 2 Noes moved to amend Ordinance No. 96 -14 by rewording Section 3.04.052.C.3 to read: "an annual contribution toward the operating cost of schools K -12 in the Kodiak Island Borough." Assemblymember Milligan considered that his amendment incorporated the community's access to education. Assemblymember Burt supported using funds fairly. Assemblymember Hancock said the litigation monies were earmarked for the entire community and the amendment made a statement that the assembly truly believed in education in the community. Assemblymember Johnson indicated he favored the amendment. Assemblymember Milligan researched school district programs already merged with private schools. He felt the amendment would encourage continued support. MOTION CARRIED Unanimous Heinrichs, Johnson, McFarland, Milligan, Burt, Hancock, Stevens None Presiding Officer Stevens opened the public hearing. Volume XXII. Page 11 Clerk Smith read letters from Robin A. Killeen, Alan L. Smith, and Diana Fogler that urged the Assembly to treat public and private school students equally. Robyn Cassidy urged full funding of the school district's budget. She thought the seed money amendment was premature in that the school district was of primary concern because there were current needs. She opposed private school assistance. Don Fox phoned to say he thought the fund was a great idea. He had no problem with using Exxon funds for private schools, however, he had a problem with using seed money for private schools. Norm Wooten commended the Assembly for including Kodiak College because the College had experienced declining revenue. He said the College met the needs of city and village residents by providing an opportunity to finish high school and pursue secondary education. He thought it was a strong message indicating a willingness to fund education. Margaret Hall, former school teacher, University of Alaska Council member, and Board of Regents member, thought the ordinance was a challenge that would reap benefits far into the future. Robin Killeen felt the litigation funds belonged to the community. She wanted all children in Kodiak to receive a good education. Brenda Kramer said education included pre - schools, St. Hermans Seminary, and private schools. She felt the amendment opened a can of worms. She wanted a separation of church and state. She thought it was more involved when dealing with private institutions. Alicia Willis, Kodiak Christian School, read a letter from Donna Schmelzenbach that supported funding community education. Daniel Miller phoned in support of the fund; however, he questioned how private schools demonstrated money management. He opposed funding private schools. Rob Wurm, Kodiak Christian School Board member, supported the resolution. He wanted to see everyone educated. J.inda Starr considered private schools as a way to reduce the burden on public schools. Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 Volume MI Page 12 Craig Johnson, Kodiak Christian School student parent, thought the amendment was an extension of a partnership with public schools. Carol Juergens opposed using public money for private schools since public education was part of democracy. She opposed the amendment because she felt private schools were exclusive in that there was no open enrollment. David Heuman felt it was important to educational activities at all levels, that only public schools accommodated Mayette Morein applauded the Assembly a fund that benefited the community. support but he argued all students. for supporting Christine Bushnell, Kodiak Christian School student parent, urged the Assembly to include private schools. She noted that private school students comprised 16 percent of the student population. Julie Bonnet felt the Assembly might be moving too fast because there were three outgoing members. She suggested waiting until the report from the School District Long -Term Funding Task Force was available. Alicia Willis thought that private school students should benefit from funds coming to the community. Steve Ho••ood wanted everyone to benefit. Kathy Cordry read from a letter she submitted that outlined her thoughts to not include private schools. Paul Smith approved of the ordinance until the amendment was passed. He saw the need to separate public schools from private schools. He wanted education funded without using Borough money. Presiding Officer Stevens closed the public hearing and reconvened the regular meeting. Assemblymember Milligan urged the Assembly to adopt the ordinance as amended. Assemblymember Hancock wanted the ordinance to benefit all students in the community. Assemblymember Burt approved of starting the fund. Assemblymember Heinrichs did not want a church versus state issue. He wanted to educate children. Regular Assembly Meeting October 17, 1996 Volume XXII Page 13 Assemblymember McFarland thought that a future assembly could develop the fund further. He contended that the object was to educate children. Presiding Officer Stevens noted the commitment to fund up to $500,000 was not a firm commitment until it went through the budget process.

In response to Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby explained the $1 million debt service on current bond indebtedness for 15 years. He thought eliminating options was a disservice in balancing general fund budgets and flexibility in the mill levy. Assemblymember Burt saw no difference because he felt paying insurance did not reduce the mill rate.
