Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -19
that, if adopted, amended the Kodiak Island Borough
Code to implement and administer a tax of five
percent of the rental charge on all transient rental
accommodations within the Kodiak Island Borough.
G. STEVENS, moved to adopt
seconded by MILLIGAN Ordinance No. 96 -19.
Mayor Selby said voters chose to establish a bed tax
and this ordinance placed the tax into the system.
He said it was necessary to make the tax equitable to
eliminate legal and enforcement problems.
Presiding Officer Heinrichs opened the public
hearing.
Wanetta Ayres, Kodiak Island Convention and Visitor's
Bureau (KICVB) executive director, spoke in favor of
the ordinance. This was a year -long process and she
thanked the Assembly, Mayor Selby, Clerk Smith and
the voters for making the bed tax a reality.
Presiding Officer Heinrichs closed the public hearing
and reconvened the regular meeting.

In response to Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby
said the tax returns were confidential. The Borough
personnel policy was clear that violation of the
confidential clause was grounds for immediate
termination.
At further questions, Mayor Selby outlined that
charge -back costs for administrative support was
usually three percent. It was noted that the KICVB
estimated the tax would generate $49,000- 70,000.
Assemblymember Milligan appreciated the coordinated
efforts of the KICVB in promoting the tax and saving
borough staff time.

Solid Waste.
Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -20
that, if adopted, amended Kodiak Island Borough Code
to designate the environmental engineer as the
decision -maker for the solid waste collection and
disposal program and improving management of the
program.
MILLIGAN, moved to adopt
seconded by G. STEVENS Ordinance No. 96 -20.
Mayor Selby said the solid waste program was improved
by outlining the environmental engineer's specific
duties, eliminating permit procedures and
establishing charge accounts that are billed monthly,
and adding five days to the garbage payment due date.
Presiding Officer Heinrichs called for public
testimony; hearing and seeing none, he reconvened the

Personal Property Tax of the Kodiak Island NO. 96 -21
Borough Code of Ordinances to Reflect Amendments
to Business Inventories Exemptions.
Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 96 -21
that, if adopted, amended the Kodiak Island Borough
Code to tax income- producing equipment regardless of
ownership.
JOHNSON, moved to adopt
seconded by MILLIGAN Ordinance No. 96 -21.
Mayor Selby explained that in 1983 leased rental
equipment was erroneously included under inventory
filing. Therefore, movie rentals were considered
inventory, when in fact, they were personal property.
In order to tax movie rental businesses equitably,
this code change was necessary.
Presiding Officer Heinrichs opened the public
hearing.
Raymond Fletcher telephoned to state it could take
years for video tapes to pay for themselves and the
tax might cause business owners to eliminate tapes
that were not often rented. He wanted to be able to
compete with Safeway.
Tad Morris agreed with Mr. Fletcher. He did not have
the overhead of Safeway. He had to charge more with
the tax and people would rent from Safeway instead.
Presiding Officer Heinrichs closed the public hearing
and reconvened the regular meeting.
Assemblymember Milligan felt good points were made.
He viewed the video rental centers as libraries that
provide educational tapes that benefit the community.
Mayor Selby said the industry standard indicated that
tapes had a useful life of two to three years. The
tax would be levied only on tapes bought in the past
two years. The retailer would maintain the records
and submit the numbers to the Borough.
Assemblymember Milligan was concerned that retailers
would only purchase videos that would make money.
Mayor Selby clarified that the ordinance ensured that
all video tape retailers would pay the tax, not just
the small retailers.

At the request of the Assembly, Pat Carlson, Borough

MESSAGES FROM THE BOROUGH MAYOR MESSAGES FROM
MAYOR
Mayor Selby announced that, due to weather, the
annual mayor's conference was rescheduled to December
10. The lengthy agenda included solid waste studies
and the Prince William Sound oil spill plan. The
Department of Energy was establishing a funding
program for scientific research at Amchitka to
determine if there were radiation problems as alleged
by Green Peace. Kodiak may become the staging area
for that research and the removal and disposal of any
radioactive material. The University of Alaska will
be involved in the process.
Assemblymember Milligan wanted further discussion as
he felt residents would not want Kodiak to be a
staging area for nuclear waste removal. He thought
to establish a policy.
Mayor Selby clarified that Kodiak would not be a
nuclear waste site. Kodiak would support the
operation by providing shipping and transportation.
Assemblymember Stevens wanted the Assembly to
continue to receive information on what the process
entailed. He was glad that Kodiak was not being
considered as a nuclear waste dump site. Mayor Selby
said the information would be submitted to the
Assembly as soon as received.
In response to Presiding Officer Heinrichs, Mayor
Selby said the Assembly was invited to meet with the
mayors at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December 10.

Mayor Selby said the original hospital project was
identified through phase IV. When defining the
phases, the roof and exterior of the existing
facility were moved to phase III. Phase IV included
renovation, but additional energy conservation
measures were instituted. The funding was obtained
and he recommended moving ahead on the project.
In response to Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby
outlined the funding sources as: $1,000,000 from
hospital income, $500,000 from existing construction
funds, $1,000,000 from the debt service fund, and
$500,000 from a grant.

Software (Financial and Property NO. 96 -63

and Kodiak Island Borough School District.
MILLIGAN,
seconded by JOHNSON
moved to award Contract
No. 96 -63 to H.T.E.,
Inc. of Orlando,
Florida in an amount
not to exceed $373,375.
Mayor Selby said the current software packages were
ten to twelve years old and the company they were
purchased from was no longer in business and did not
provide support. That put an increased amount of
work on computer support staff. The school district
had trouble processing payroll. This was a rigorous
18 month process of sending out requests for proposal
and reviewing all the responders. Borough payroll
costs would be reduced because programmers would not
be over - utilized. He thanked Borough and School
District employees for working to find the best
provider.
In response to Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby
said that HTE, as the master contractor, was
responsible for the subcontractor that would make the
program work.
At Assemblymember G. Stevens' inquiry about the cost,
guarantees, and life expectancy, Mayor Selby said HTE
put a significant amount of money into research and
was well - established and financially sound. He
anticipated a 10 to 20 year life but computer
technology was rapidly moving ahead. He was
confident the software could be integrated with newer
equipment. He noted that the training costs were
based on worst case scenario.
At further questions, Mayor Selby said the Mental
Health Center would share the program except for the
patient billings. The hospital had a new patient
hilling program that would be reviewed to determine
if it would be adequate for the Mental Health Center.
In response to Presiding Officer Heinrichs, Mayor
Selby said the Borough was the first Alaska entity to
purchase the program, but he had talked with
communities in the Lower 48 who were pleased with the

4. Resolution No. 96 -36 Confirming the 1996

Presented for consideration was Resolution No. 96 -36
that, if adopted, confirmed the Borough population
figure of 14,498 that was estimated in a manner
approved by the Alaska Department of Community and
Regional Affairs.
G. STEVENS, moved to adopt
seconded by JOHNSON Resolution No. 96 -36.
Mayor Selby said the State of Alaska intended to
reduce the general Borough population by 30 because
they increased the Port Lions population by 30. The
figures for Chiniak and Port Lions are exact and the
figures for the U.S. Coast Guard base were close to
exact. The total was critical because municipal
assistance payments were based on population and 500
residents could represent several thousand dollars.
In response to Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby
said the category titled Remainder of Kodiak Island
Borough included residents of Service District No. 1,
logging camps, and other outlying areas.
At further questions, Mayor Selby said the previous
population total was approximately 15,400.
