D. Jackson Trailer Court. Mr. Lester reported that pursuant to Assembly action,
the required actions to be taken as outlined by the Borough Engineer are being
complied with The as- builts are being completed. Mr. Lester recommended that
no further action be taken until the as-- builts are received. Mrs. Hajdu
suggested that the next action be taken by P &Z instead of the Assembly, since
the original request approved by P &Z was for 7 trailers only. She quoted the
trailer park ordinance on expansion of courts. Mr. Lester suggested that in
the future the Assembly accept the reports of the staff and act on them, since
that is what they were hired for. He also suggested that there are other
courts that need discussion. Mrs. Hajdu stated that she had discovered in
reviewing the Jackson Court file that letters had been sent directly from the
State Sanitarian to Mr. Jackson which were in conflict with Assembly action.
She suggested that since the State relinquishes the authority to issue permits
to the Borough, and since the sanitary aspect of a court is only a part of
the requirements of our ordinance, that the Sanitarian report to the building
inspector instead of directly to the court owner. She said that the Borough
could not function properly if the State writes letters in conflict with the
Assembly. Mr. Carter stated that he had used whichever code was the most
convenient in accomplishing his work, and that there was always a reason for
his action and he was not trying to conflict with the Assembly. Mr. Jackson
stated that the Sanitarian had not been easy on him. Mr. Barr read the
recommendation from the Sanitarian, Building Inspector and Attorney that the
following procedure be followed, as required by the ordinance: as -built plans
and plans for future expansion of a court should be submitted, the application
should be reviewed by P &Z and their recommendation then sent to the Assembly.
In the meantime., no further expansion of the courts should be permitted. The
Assembly concurred in this procedure.
VIII OLD BUSINESS -- None
IX NEW BUSINESS
A. Approval of Election Judges. The list of proposed judges was read. Mrs.
Hajdu moved, seconded by Mr. Arndt, that the list of judges be approved as
submitted. It was reported that Mr. Preston will deliver the ballots and other
information to the villages the following week by mail flight. Motion carried
by unanimous voice vote.
B. Approval of Tax Adjustments. The adjustments were presented separately instead
of in list form. Mrs. Hajdu moved, seconded by Mr. Arndt, that action on this
matter be tabled until the adjustments are presented in list form. Motion
carried by unanimous voice vote.
C. Municipal League Convention. The announcement of the convention, to be held
in Sitka in October, was read. Mr. Lester recommended that Mr. Preston attend
it. Mr. Preston suggested that Mr. Valkama also attend the Assessor's conven-
tion. There is sufficient travel money in the budget to cover both trips.
The Assembly concurred in sending both to the convention.
D. Funds from ACS Trailer Court. I;ir. Lester explained that the Borough had
obtained the responsibility of the ACS Trailer Court from ASHA so that the
income could be used locally, and that the City had been requested to act as
collection agent for the Borough, but that no motion had been passed as to
the use of the money. The development of the old garbage dump site into a
recreation area had been discussed, and the money could be used for that.
Mrs. Hajdu suggested that the money be appropriated to the school to use for
their recreation program. Mr. Norton suggested that the money be dedicated
for purchase of equipment as well as site preparation. Mr. Hedla suggested
that the Assembly pass a supplemental budget ordinance appropriating the money
for school capital outlay for playground equipment. Mrs. Hajdu made a motion,
seconded by Mr. Arndt, that the Attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance
for a supplementary budget which earmarks ACS trailer court funds through the
school system for site development and equipment purchases for recreational
purposes for the former dump site area. Mr. Lester suggested that the area
not be designated in case another area was desired. Mr. Barr suggested that
a plan be submitted before the money was released. Mrs. Hajdu amended her
motion to read that the money be released only upon presentation of an approved
plan, and that the site not be specified. Mr. Arndt concurred. Mr. Hedia
suggested that the appropriation ordinance be continuing to continue over the
life of the income. Motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
