located along the road advertising new businesses. I don't know
why they are allowed.

occupation signs in rural residential areas and I would like

as written.

Kenai Borough Mayor Stan Thompson about joining the suit of the
Kenai Borough.
XII ASSEMBLY COMMENTS
Mr. Peotter: None
Mr. Murray: I put together a proposed Ordinance that I would like
to introduce tonight. Ordinance No. 83-46-0 Amending The Personnel
Rules Pertaining To Longevity Award.
Mr. Murray moved to adopt Ordinance No. 83-46-0 in the first reading.
Seconded by Mr. Anderson. Motion carried 6-1 with Mrs. Cater casting

KIB ASSEMBLY MTG. - May 5, 1983 Page 9
I think in conjunction with your concern over the sign question
Mr. Martini did raise some valid questions that relate
to other signs, some of which are on the Borough properties. I
would recommend that Staff; if they are out of compliance, instruct
who ever is responsible.
I would suggest that we contact our representatives and represent
our position on Senate Bill #154 Public Employee Relations Act.
Mr. Arndt: None.
Mr. White: We have a letter from the Dept. of the Interior's
Refuge Manager in our packet about a meeting in Kodiak May 17, 1983
and I hope Linda Freed can attend. This is really important be-
cause the local public can have some input into the way they want
the refuge run. Generally it has been a national policy.
I also think the Youth Hostel idea is a good one, particularly
since it is a private group handling it.
Mrs. Cater: I will not be in town for the Special Assembly
meeting on the 12th.
Mr. Wakefield: I will not be able to make the trip to the villages
on the 17th. Changed to the 24th with consent of other members.)
Mr. Anderson: I talked to a couple of local attorneys and they
basic�ame up with the same answer of about $60,000 a year for
an in-house attorney and thought we should have one.
Mr. Wakefield moved to continue past 11:00 pm. Seconded by Mrs. Cater.
Motion carried with no objection.
XIII AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Bob Burgy: (Carpenter's Local) I have all the statistics to show
that the wage scales have never kept up with inflation. Gutting
the Davis -Bacon Act is not the way to go, I think you should ask
for a freeze on wages when wages are up for negotiation again.
It will affect the quality of workmanship.
Dan Moen: (local carpenter) I agree with Mr. Burgy. I think this
is a bad move by the assembly in adopting any resolution supporting
the deletion of the Davis -Bacon Act.
Dave Chatfield: I would like to speak to you about the upcoming
land auction. You have raised the minimum down payment to where
the majority of us can't afford it. You have shortened the time
allowed to pay for it so that the payments will be much higher and
this literaly disenfranchises the majority of the people in this
community.
Mr. Arndt moved to adjourn because of the time. Seconded by Mr. White.
Motion failed 2-5 with Mr. Arndt and Mr. White casting the YES votes.
Mrs. Cater moved to recess into Executive Session to discuss personnel.
Seconded by Mr. Peotter. Motion carried 5-2 with Mr. Arndt and Mr.

The Assembly recessed into Executive Session at 11:44 pm and out

discussion of trying to negotiate a contract with the clerk.
