Unanimous voice vote.
Mr. Wakefield: Has the Administration received the State Revenue Sharing
form for FY 81? (Deadline for prepayment is Sept. 20)
Mr. Selby: The City has not yet received Mr. Hoopes review comments of the
draft Environmental Impact Statement for Sale #60.
I would like the Manager to get that to the City Council &
Mayor so they can have the benefit of his comments.
Reminder to the Clerk that there are some positions to be
advertised for the Health Resources Advisory Council and
one for the Hospital Board.
From various sources, I understand the Clerk was acting
Treasurer and that duty was removed from her in anticipation
of hiring a Financial Manager, who was not hired, and she
has been functioning in that capacity although she is not
being reimbursed. Is that true?
Mr. Hansen: I have received a lot of complaints about the Hospital,
from both doctors & patients, that it is not being
managed as it should be. I would like to have the Manager
look into this.
Mr. Herrnsteen: We used to get the list of the building permits that
had been issued & wondered about this.
I think it would be nice if the Borough were to have a
clean-up drive before the snow comes and try to get the
abandoned vehicles cleaned up. Would like for the
Manager to check into the cost of such a campaign.

Mr. Peotter: No comments.
XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS
1. Scott Arndt: I wish to compliment this Assembly and past
Assemblies in keeping the property tax mill rate
at what I consider to be in -line and bearable.
I would like to see the Borough continue with the
collection from the City for the approximately
$230,000 that is the City's share of the personal
property tax.
I would like to see everything possible done to
fight the partial exemption of the boats from the
personal property tax roles.
I would like to see whatever is put out published
in a professional manner and kept simple for everyone
to understand.
I don't hold anything against the Assembly Members,
as such, due to the difficulties on processing the
paperwork on my particular rezoning. I would hope in
the future, other people won't have to endure what I
have had to.
2. Lorna Arndt, Chairman of Personnel Board: Special Meetings were held
to get the first and second readings through so that as
of the budget time, on July 1, those jobs could be provided
for and the pay would be there at that time. This person
should be compensated in some manner because of fulfilling
the two jobs. It is not her fault that you people have not
hired a Finance Director. We worked long hours in getting
these changes done so you could advertise and I don't think
you should be stalling this much further. I think she should
be compensated since July 1 since that is the time we set for
hiring this Finance Director and changing these position titles.
Mr. Selby moved that the Assembly adjust her salary and pay her as acting
Finance Director until such time as the position is filled with a permanent
employee. Seconded by Mr. Hansen.
Mr. Anderson moved to amend the motion to give her the Finance Directors
salary, the higher rate of pay, until such time as the position is filled
and be retroactive back to July 1. Seconded by Mr. Selby. Amendment
carried 5-1 with Mr. Peotter casting the NO vote.
Mr. Hansen called for the question. Seconded by Mr. Anderson. Unanimous vote.
Main motion as amended carried 5-1 with Mr. Peotter casting the NO vote.
3. Scott Thomas, Kodiak School District: I would like to thank the
Assembly for their unanimous approval of the archi-
tectural selection.
