G. Letter from Patricia Putnam re: Water Repair/Connection Bill
Ms. Putnam: There are a few reasons why I don't believe I should have
to pay this bill:
1. I didn't agree to it,
2. A garden hose should not have been left and accepted and if
someone had a good reason to accept it, I should have at least
been notified immediately when water was available to be hooked
up and
3. I should have been given the option of who I wanted to do the work
since I had already paid someone to do the hook up.

to be paid out of the maintenance fund of the service district. Seconded

Public Hearing opened:
Mr. Wilton White: I am not speaking for or against the ordinance, I just
have a question regarding a portion of the ordinance. Under paragraph
5, 6 and 7, it outlines the duties and functions of the presiding officer
of the Assembly. Is it understood that the Assembly will be presided
over by a presiding officer selected from the group and does he normally
have a vote on each and every issue or would he have a vote in the event
of a tie?
(Manager Selby answered that under State Law the presiding officer would
continue to be a full voting member.)

the fee or is it remaining the same?

Cater.
Regular Session closed:
Public Hearing opened:
Dave Herrnsteen: I am still concerned about the shot -rock that is falling
off the trucks. I think the Anchorage ordinance, where they actually
have a double -rate when you go to the dump and your load is uncovered or
have the option of buying a tarp to cover your next load, is an excellent
idea. I don't think it would be a burden to anybody to cover their load
as far as litter goes. I am tired of seeing the trash laying in or
beside the road. I realize there is a cost to a contractor if he has to
KIB AGENDA - Decry. 6, 1984 2

Page 4
cover his load. I have been told by someone in the trucking business
that there is an awning type of device that can be fitted for the truck.
There is a cost involved but there is also a cost to other people's
tires, windshields plus the safety factor. I think if you are in the
business of hauling rock you should be able to secure your load. I
think there should be a limit as to how long we should put up with rock
falling off trucks and endangering people.
Scott Arndt: I think one thing you are missing a point on is the power
of a resolution to the Governor requesting enforcement of the existing
laws.
Mike Moore: This ordinance has serious drawbacks for the trucking and
construction industry. The cost of having to tarp every load would
raise the price of rock and gravel substantially. In addition, the
driver would be exposing himself to injury by climbing up and down a
truck that has no facilities for climbing. I am a supervisor for several
employees who would not be able to continue in their present employment
if required to tarp every load as they would be physically unable to
perform that duty. I would like to point out that the industry should
help police itself. If overloading and cornering too fast are avoided,
it would go a long way to help solve the problem at a price we could
afford.
Hobart Dawson: I have been driving trucks in Kodiak for over twenty
years. I have never hit a young child with a rock coming out of my
truck. I have never hit a vehicle with a rock coming out of my
truck. There are some things that come out of trucks. If drivers
take the corners too fast and being careless, you may find a rock.
That is an individual driver and not every driver does it that way.
You are going to cost me my job by telling me that I have to tarp that
truck. I can't do it because I am an invalid. I have been told never
to drive again but, I am doing it because that's the way I make my
living. Tarps to hold on the rock that you want held on, I will say
would range around 100 to 125 pounds. We have women that drive too.
Someone is going to get hurt trying to tarp the truck.
n
Okey Chandler: I think if the truck sides and backs were built a little
L J
higher they wouldn't lose any rocks.
Mike Anderson: I own a dump truck. I would like to speak against the
ordinance. I don't think that a tarp would do what you want it to do
anyway. They make side -boards for dump trucks that go substantially
higher than the load should be when it's loaded to capacity. If the
guys keep these side -boards in good shape, then that eliminates most
of the problem. I think with a little bit of enforcement it would
eliminate the problem.
Jim Ashford: If you make them put on tarps, who is going to enforce it.
The key word is enforcement, not harassment, not added cost to every
individual in the Borough, but enforcement.
Public Hearing closed:

Mr. Naughton moved to amend under 8.12.010 B. to read:

Dennis Murray: I speak against this ordinance. As I understand the
duties, they would be basically notarizing and signing off for the
Borough on resolutions and ordinances and those kind of things which are
usually recommended by other department heads. I think that when you
look at duties and responsibilities you have to look at them on the
whole. I think that you have some excellent employees who are Secretary
III's. My recommendation some time ago was that you simply designate
your manager. You can designate someone else who is a department head to
attest to these documents.
Scott Arndt: I want to speak in opposition to the ordinance. I agree
with many of the points Mr. Murray made. I don't object to the title
being given. You don't want the deputy clerk having all the authority
of the clerk or you're going to have to pay her the same thing. To me
it is mainly a title, as far as enabling a person to attest the
documents. I object to the raise in the pay. There are many times that
the department heads are out of the office and the secretaries run the
Borough.
Lorna Arndt: (Personnel Board) I have been on the board since it origina-
ted and have done a lot of research on this. We tried from the beginning
to get the deputy clerk position. Our City has a deputy clerk and all
the other boroughs and cities have deputy clerks. We really do need a
deputy clerk because you people hire the manager and the clerk. There
are only two people in the clerk's department and the Secretary III
has to know the clerk duties. The range set for this deputy clerk is the
lowest of any city or borough. The City of Kodiak is at a 12.5 and the
others are at a range 13 throughout the State of Alaska. This a big
responsibility. I think you should listen to the Manager and the Clerk.
Mickey Duros: The pay range is not my primary concern, but I was
secretary to the clerk for 3� years and I do know what the work load is.
The secretary's job is a full job and when you are taking on the respon-
sibilities of the clerk in her absence, whether it is three days illness
or a week at a seminar or vacation, it can run into running an election.
You never know when something will come up where a legal document has to
be attested. Not three days from now, but now. There are many in-
stances where the duties have to be taken care of over a long or short
time. It is something that has to be done at the moment and not put off.
I really think there is a need for a deputy clerk.
Okey Chandler: I think it's a bad time, during a recession, to be
shooting the salaries up. I think you oughta cut back a little rather
than going up.

Reward.
Mr. Wakefield moved to adopt Ordinance No. 84-65-0. Seconded by Mrs.

Naughton. Motion on substitution carried by unanimous voice vote.

Public Hearing opened:
Dennis Murray: I don't think that this Assembly recognizes it's total
responsibility. The director of nurses at the hospital makes less than
the majority of the employees you have right here. The director of
nurses who has the responsibility of that entire operation. Talk about
liabilities, you don't come close with the operation of municipal govern-
ment as you do with health care. I hope you appreciate that.
Scott Arndt: I wish to speak in opposition of this ordinance. I concur
with the arguments of Mr. Murray. I don't really have anything further
to add other than I feel it is inappropriate.
KIB AGENDA - Dec. 6, 1984 Page 6
Lorna Lee Arndt: (Borough Taxpayer & Voter) This ordinance was in the
personnel rules when they were adopted by the Borough Assembly in 1977.
This original ordinance was written just like all other cities and
boroughs personnel rules. What incentive do we have to keep a good
employee after seven years? Two of our employees lost out when the
longevity was taken away, one employee missed it by one week and another
by less than a year. There are only two employees that would get the
longevity right now. I urge you to pass this ordinance in the original
presentation and if not, in the amended one.
Scott Arndt: It is very seldom that you see a government employee of the
borough, city, school district or the state ever take a private position.
I just contend that the pay is adequate, the benefits are more than
adequate and I just have a problem of adding to the expenses that the
rest of us bear.
Okey Chandler: The Federal Government is going broke. I think we should
put the brakes on a little bit and try to keep the cost of running this
borough as much as we can.
Mickey Duros: I feel that when people are employed by the borough and are
given the personnel "regs" to read and become acquainted with as their
employee contract and then take the longevity away it is unfair. When
the seven year longevity was taken away, it was something that we had
accepted as something to work for. I happened to miss mine by seven
days. I was closer than anyone else but there are others that are
affected also. I feel that we should have this reinstated.
Tom Miller: I would like to speak against the ordinance. In light of the
projected severe short -fall that the hospital is projecting to experience
in the next twelve months, it seems that as a borough we need to tighten
our financial budget. Not only is the possibility of the hospital
causing a reason for tax increase but also the passage of this ordinance
would be.

XI MAYOR'S COMMENTS
1. I would like to present a certificate of appreciation awards to
Virginia Crowe for service and dedication as a Planning and Zoning
Commissioner and to John Sevier for his services and devotion to
the Parks and Recreation Committee of the Kodiak Island Borough.
2. I would also like to speak briefly in regards to the reasoning why
we have gone through the public process for adopting the consent
agenda. I think tonight exemplified the reason why consent agenda
is well used to protect important time that people have when they
come to speak at public hearings. I think because of the voluminous
amount of articles that are on the agenda it seems to be overbearing
for someone to wait a long time to say his piece before the assembly
during public hearing, and the consent agenda I felt, would perhaps
save about an hour's time to provide more time for the public to speak
on those issues that seem to be controversial. I don't feel that it
can be an abusive tool. It would be very hard as there are many other
counter-measures that can be taken.
3. I would like to say in regards to the public hearing over the
longevity bonus ordinance that the assembly decorum is not the place
to address editorials. In addressing that, is to use the proper form
through the media. The issue was taken out of context a little far.
I was very disappointed.
XII ASSEMBLY COMMENTS
Mr. White: I was a little confused on the consent agenda since this was
the first time we have used it. I wonder if it would be better to decide
at the work session which items we want considered under the consent
agenda.
Mr. Wakefield: I think the consent agenda is a good idea. I agree with
Mr. White's idea of deciding at the work session as to which ones need to
be discussed or not.
KIB AGENDA - Dec. 6, 1984 Page 10

Mrs. Cater: I would still like to talk in regard to the lack of coopera-
tion that the community is receiving from the State patrol. I do not
think the people in the community are aware of how many serious
violations have happened that endanger children in the community. In the
latest violation, a truck driver was cited for passing a school bus, it
went to court and because the State patrol did not notify the bus driver
the judge had no choice but to throw it out of court. I for one, as a
concerned citizen, am not going to sit here and wait for a child to be
killed before we do something about getting that State law enforced.
I would hope that the rest of the assembly would join me on this.
Mr. Naughton: I did not find a listing of the Borough investments in my
packet. I would like to have a listing.
Mr. White: I would like to direct Staff to prepare an ordinance on
Assembly appointing authorities to boards and commissions since we will
be going to a new form of government.
I would like to see something different done with the money that is
designated for art work. With the auditorium, I would like to see some-
thing that a lot more people could understand. I would like to see some
old photographs of Kodiak blown up so that it would be a piece of history
as well as something nice to look at.
I will be absent next month. This is the first time of "willingly"
missing an assembly meeting. I am taking a Christmas vacation for a
change.
XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Okey Chandler: Last year the assembly placed it on the priority list
to use federal money to straighten out the Anton Larsen Road. I have
been trying to get the road extended to the open ocean where it doesn't
freeze. At Sharatin Bay, we could build a dock and the people from
Port Lions or Ouzinkie could come over if someone got sick . Seems to me
that all the money has been spent out Monashka way or on Near Island.
I would appreciate if you would put it on the list.
Scott Arndt: I think it would be appropriate for a resolution by the
assembly in relationship to the school bus issue to be sent along with
a letter.
I would like to see you reconsider the decision you made tonight on
Ms. Putnams request on the water repair/connection bill. I don't think
that many of you realize what the situation is out there.
I still have a problem with the consent agenda. I don't feel that it
gives an adequate representation to the public that is not here.
I was not able to attend the November assembly meeting. It is my under-
standing that at that particular meeting, there was an "arbitrary" inter-
pretation without a public hearing on the gravel issue. The one I am
speaking to is the isolated lot interpretation. I see a great deal of
misunderstanding and lack of communication between the Assembly and
Planning and Zoning.
