VIII OLD BUSINESS
A. 1st Reading Ordinance No. 70 -2 -0 Mobile hare Park Ordinance, read by title only.
Mr. Naughton moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 70 -2 -0, seconded by Lr. Jackson.
The Borough Chairman noted that the Attorney had called and stated that Section 4
"B" was in direct conflict with the present zoning ordinance by allowing two traile_s
on a 4,000 square foot lot and the ordinance called for a minimum area for a dwelli:g
of 7200 sq. feet. This should be discussed as to whether or not the trailers will
be allowed on the lots on a permanent basis. Mr. Clowes felt the two trailers
Should be considered the same as a duplex which wcnid be allowed on a lot. tar.
Stetter stated that he had brought this up at the P&Z meeting for a conditional use
however the was nothing done concerning this.
It was suggested that the Borough Chairman should clarify the intent of this sectica
and check further with the Borough Attorney prior to the next meeting and second
reading.
The question was called for and the motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
B. 1st Ordinance 70 -1 -0 Zo ' Ordinance - revision of entire zoning for area.
In view of the fact that the Feder - Housing 'stration's Planners will be over

suggested that this be delayed until after that meeting. The FHA Planners will be

A. Tax Adjustments - A letter from the Borough Assessor was read, stating that the
Borough is in the process of preparing Civil Action cases against those persons
and/or businesses who are still in arrears for their 1968 personal property tax and
felt that the meager amounts listed on the adjustment list should be written off.
The total would be in the amount of $11.21. It was questioned *ether or not the
Borough Assembly had this adjustment parer and decided that it did based on prior
approvals. [dr. Jackson moved for acceptance of the Assessor's recommendation in
Tax MjJ P-TG 1, seconded by Mr. Arndt. It was suggested that perhaps in
the >`utaae the tax rolls could be set up for a minimum charge of one dollar on taxes.
The pestion was called for and the motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
B. Resume of Hospital Fiscal Affairs to Date - Mr. Grate, Borough Clerk, gave a reporter
on this resume. Net income of $20,854 over and above any operating expenses was
noted. Mr. Hedla was in Kodiak this w eek..viOtated that he will be doing a projects
figures accamtirg for the hospital operations and will forward a report to the
Borough. At present, Lir Hedla indicated that the hospital is in Todd shape- -It
now appears that the deficit as anticipated earlier will not be forthfl#ds*:
Lb•. Grafe read Senate Bill 415, noon in committee, which wnnld_grant $25,000 to
municipal hospitals for operation purposes. This is another concept of the shared
COMM act and a letter has been sent by Mr. Grafe stating his personal concurrence
wts, the passage of the bill.
The final Payments from the State and Federal funds have been received on the
hospital construction program.
It was rated that consideration should be given to the fact that had the hospital
been operated by any other function it might not be operating in the black at this
tine as the sisters have operated the hospital at no charge for services
The question was raised as to whether or not the Nuns are happy with their quarters
and a member of the Audience indicated that they were very pleased with the quarters
and no =plaints have been voiced.
It was also noted that Mold building has been moved for a storage shed and an
effort will be made to have this placed in a gore sheltered area, away from the open
view of the residents in the area.

Mr. T. T. Jackson suggested that we could do as the Division of Lands has done
in past sales, allaying a certain period of time to have the improvements removed
and set the time for about 50 years then no one would bid eager tathen person on the
land Hr. Naughton stated that he would go along
sale o f this land to the individual involved as this situation was brought about
because the State was slag in making lard available at a time when the people
needed a place to live and establish a residence.
Mr. Setters replied to a question by the Presiding Officer as to what reason he
would give in having the right to the land - that the people involved had gone to
the cost of a survey and met all requirements for filing a claim on the land.
Further this claim was filed one day before the state and therefore they did have
a valid claim - a claim that although not recognized by the State Division of Lands
was considered valid by lawyers and one that would stand up in court. The people
in the area have gone to added expense of building and improving the lots and
could to i file o a �ednotznhea successful bidder. They have a right

ed the *_ we are talking of one

the lots.
The Assembly members concu,,.ed that the Borough Chairman should review this with
the Attorney to c*Ck out any legal problems on this solution.
The Borough Chairman made the cccwent that he has had contact with the
Manager, Mirk ger, City and City Treasurer and so has 1 Ir. Grafe, Borough
