Seconded by Mr. White. Regular Session closed: Public Hearing closed; Jack Wiles:(Chief of Planning/State Div. of Parks & Outdoor Rec.) We have not cut a deal but what we have done is provided a fair amount of flexibility to bring the parties together. The establish- ment of Shuyak Island State Park is our goal. The compromise would provide the east side of Neketa Bay going to the Borough, providing area 2 going into Park status and providing for a limited amount of -- land disposal within the Park area. There is a particular concern about why there will be private land taken out of the Park if there is Borough land and private land. The only thing we would feel fairly strong about would be how that disposition of those 200 acres occurs, where it occurs and under what terms. We feel that the bill should provide for close consultation between the State and the Borough on just those matters. Tom Peterson:(representing Fred Zharoff) On his behalf, I extend his apologies for not being here at the public hearing. I am here to observe the proceedings tonight at the public hearing regarding the proposal. There are three concepts that Fred asked me to reiterate that he felt that this particular type of proposal meets most of everyone's needs and desires on land use for Shuyak Island. It does create a State park, it makes land available for disposal and he feels that it gives the Borough much better land development opportunity than they originally had. Gary Dobos:(Outdoor Photographer) I am here to oppose this agree- ment that would put cabins within the park. Shuyak has more poten- tial for recreation than any area I have seen in Alaska. Suspin-Susan: Against opening negotiations. It will destroy the wilderness value if you put cabins in any of the Bays. Jaime Rodriquez: I am here to oppose negotiations. I don't want to see any of the land developed. Lee Bowman: I am against public development. Don Fox: I am against any private ownership. I would be for ten or twelve public -use cabins where everybody has use of Shuyak Island. Not just a limited number of persons. John "Pete" Murray: I am here to testify against opening up nego- tiations for the park. Rich MacIntosh:(Audubon Society) We were established here in 1981 and we have about 80 family and individual members. We have KIB ASSEMBLY MTG. - Feb. 2, 1984 Page 5 supported the formation of the park since 1981 and tonight I would like to stress the fact that we support the existing out of court settlement over Shuyak. Ben Hancock: I am in favor of the concept of public cabins but not private ownership. I want the agreement to stand. Bill Herman: I am against the ordinance. I would like to see the whole island as a park. I feel that the State manages parks better than Boroughs do. Barbara Monkiewictz: I am against private ownership. Bill Guy: I am also for the '81 settlement. Paul Anderson:(Member of State Parks Adv. Brd.) I oppose this proposition. I think the Dept. of Natural Resources will continue to look after that land if we go ahead and stick by this original consent decree. Theresa Armetta: I totally support the 1981 settlement. I also support a few public -use cabins scattered throughout the park. I totally oppose the idea of selling 200 acres of private land with- in the park. Ed Campbell: I am against cabins. I am against the 200 acres for public -use. I am against the whole thing even negotiations on it. Larry Vanderlin: I am very much in favor of preserving the entire island. Bruce Schactler: It is not the place to be except in the summer. I am against negotiations unless to put the whole island in a park. Dan_ Jessup: I hope you will keep things like tonight open and this won t be the only time that we are able to have public input. Eddie Hendricks: My home is in Shuyak Harbor on Shuyak Island and has been for over ten years. I was a registered guide in the State and have had people from all over the world at Shuyak. I think the whole island should be put into a park. Ed Apperson:(State Parks) I am up here personally to talk a little bit about tourism. I have been an owner and operator of several "fly -in" type lodges in Alaska in the past years. I doubt if any- thing would be destroyed due to tourism. Steve Renell:(P & Z) I would like to get some input from the Assembly on leases on Shuyak. Matt Dick: I can testify that Shuyak has the richest concentration of sea birds, with the exception of certain large colonies like Whale Island. I would stronly support a State park and if that can't be, I would support it remaining as it is. Public Hearing closed: Regular Session opened: Motion failed on Ordinance No. 84-10-0 by unanimous roll call vote. VIII OLD BUSINESS A. Res.

Steve Rennell: I have lived in the borough for about eight years. We really need to oppose more liquor license instead of giving more funds on the other end to Kodiak Council on Alcoholism and to the Mental Health Center and et cetera. We just allow people to have their liquor license and put it there and put it there. Then in the end us taxpayers pay for this loss in a sense because we allow these people to start these establishments. This one is on the highway and people will have to get in their cars and drive there. Motion failed 1-5 with Ms. Barker casting the YES vote.

Also, the meeting with him assured me that he would not veto any items essential to Kodiak in his budget or projects promoted by our legislators. XII ASSEMBLY COMMENTS Ms. Barker: One of the things I have been working on is how to get more input from the villages into the proceedings that go on in the Borough. One of the ideas I would like us to explore is to get a phone line so the villages can call us, when they hear us over KMXT. I would also like to re -instate the Assembly traveling to the villages. Mr. White moved to direct Staff to begin preparing documents to see that the construction of Selief Lane is completed this year and that land sale funds and/or other State or Federal funds, as can be identifed, be used for this project.

XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS Steve Rennell:(P & Z Comm.) I would like some feedback from you regarding the request on the Shuyak five year lease and also on the one requesting to buy 7.59 acres. (Assembly agreed the lease should be signed and regarding the one requesting to buy the land that it will not be sold at this time.) I would like to make a couple of comments just as a member of the public. I don't like just one assembly meeting a month. I also think you should advertise more about the work sessions if they are open to the public for input. XIV ADJOURNMENT Mr. Wakefield moved to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Mr. White.
