Under 13.01.130 a person living in this area would certainly like to have a say if their rates were going to be changed.

Kodiak Island Housing Authority re: Tracts B & E Kadiak AK Subd Mayor Herrnsteen closed the regular meeting and reconvened as the Board of Adjustment. Marlin Knni ht:(Exec. Dir. of Kodiak Island Housing Authority) I am here tonight to make a request for an amendment to an earlier action on July 2, 1981 establishing conditions that this project be annexed to the City of Kodiak. The request is made on several accounts. At the time this condition was established the Borough was unaware that they were to receive approximately seven million dollars for this Service District. At this point and time the Housing Authority is ready to present to the Borough satisfaction of all the conditions that were established at that time. I am requesting that we will be given the go ahead to allow construction of this project and that the annexation issue be provided for at the time of occupancy of this building. LouAnn S. Nelson: I can't believe that anyone would not be in favor of putting in a ousing project of this kind. All of us agree that KIB Mtg. - 2/4/82 Page 4 we have a great �ousing shortage. All of us have to agree that we have a great need for affordable housing. I can't help but think that any monies that would have to be expended would be re-couped in these ways. Walt Ebell: You have here in front of you a three and three-quarter million -dollar project which will alleviate housing shortage in Kodiak. I would encourage you to drop the annexation requirement because simply it is no longer necessary. Not only that the project will provide substantial monies to the service district and will save the service district those monies. Elaine Loomis: (Social Worker for KANA) I hope the Borough does not e ay t is project any more and let it go forward. Plary Jo Simmons: I really don't understand why there is so much pro em wit even talking about annexation. We do have a service district. They have said they are going to put in water and sewer. I would hope that you would look at the common good of the whole community and let this project go ahead. Mayor Herrnsteen asked if there was anyone wishing to speak against the annexation requirement and there were none. Mayor Herrnsteen entered letters into the record from the following who were in favor of the project: 1. Robert Taylor, Pres., Local Union No. 2162(Carpenters & Joiners) 2. Ann Marshall 3. Dan Maciak, Social Worker, State of Alaska 4. Wayne Marshall 5.

Kodiak Island Hospital Long Range Plan Dan Van Wieringen: (Hospital Administrator) Some of the staff would like to speak on the patient care issue of the present facility. Bob Breen: (Radiology Dept. Head) Some of the problems I have in t ei� r�ioTogy department, which is a problem of the building, our whole plumbing system is completly shot. The present x-ray equip- ment is the smallest possible. It is designed more for a clinic type setting. Allison Johnson: (Head Nurse of Acute Care) We have a total bed capacity of 25 patients. Last summer we had patients in the library and patients in beds in the hall. This summer I anticipate we won't even have enough beds to put patients in. I think that any delay in remodeling and expanding the hospital really jeopar- dizes medical and nursing care for the community.
