V CatIVICATIOES AND APPEARANCE RCS
A. Casnittee from School re "I" Street P1 r� t lr. Richard Paean, teacher,
and a group of students Iran the High School snore present to give the results of
a poll taken on the construction, maintenance and financing of the "I" Street Play -
mo The students are members of SPARK, "Students Pushing For Athletic
tion in Kodiak." The poll indicated that a majority of the people are for
this program and that from the investigation conducted by the students money is
available at least for the beginnings of the project. Blueprints will need to
be drawn up and many expedad on this and the leveling, cost for labor and the
cost for acquisition of extra land could be ernsidered in -kind money for which
matching federal funds would be available. At this point it is necessary to make
a determination as to what agency will have the responsibility of planning and
executing the fornulation of these plans. It was pointed cut that the school
administration had once voiced the desire to have this field included in the entire
school package and that federal matching funds would have been available for this
as part of the overall school construction. The total matey available at this
time would be $69,000 and with mewing Federal funds that wank: be $138,000; the
original estimate for this project as set forth was $152,000. Hammer since the
beginning of this project several years ago the price for construction has increase
and it's now possible that the total cost would be in the neighborhood of $261,000.
The Camkittee felt that the City should build and maintain the facility as this
will be used not only by the school but by the entire population of the camunity.
A member of the Assembly felt that the people from the School should be the ones
setting up the planning as they are more aware of the needs for such a field and
]mow what type facilities should be included in the plans. It was suggested that
contact be made with the school to determine if they desire that the city be the
main participant in this project and if so this could be date. It was further
suggested that procedures be started.to obtain the rsnaining lots necessary for
the field and that a check be made with Nr. R. A. Janes as to whether or not a

X CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
A. Nh. Sims was requested to give a short resume of the trip to Washington, D. C.
in regards to the water and sewer problems in the area. Mr. Sims stated that
he felt that progress had been made; all three State representatives; (two Seaters
and one Rapreeattative)hed been most helpful and that they were aware of the problem
in the Kodiak area. In decking over the applications made by the City for assista
in these arms it was noted that EDA has bogged down in the process of the applicati
and Kodiak's application is being used as a test -case application to deternim
where the fault lies. The many is definitely there and the City will be receiving
these funds for assi.fiance. The subject of Sea - land's Adak cargo run was brought
up briefly and Senators Gravel and Stevens drafted a joint resolution to the
Navy eaoerning this - the City has new dock facilities and these should be used
for the good of the community. Mt. Sims touched briefly on the hearings before
the CAB and noted that they came away with very cptm¢stic feelings for Kodiak
Airway's dances in being awarded the contract for the Seattle- Kodiak non and did
receive the support of many of the other parties there. %astern Alaska has
accepted Kodiak Airways proposal for the King Saltn!rI iak run and this will be
under way before too long.
Other projects underway in the City were discussed and no that progress is
being wade on all, especially the City Dock, that is moving along very well at this
time. On the water situation, it has. been decided that the best project will be
to go for the tknashka Bay ( Creek) Dan and pipe the water overland pipes will be

KIB ASSEMLY DEMING - tdAY 6, 1571 Page 4
r'DA is being used as test -case to determine where the fault lies and this project
should be underway before the summer is aver. It was felt that the community should
go all the sway with the pipeline from ibaashka Bay rather than just increasing the
Pillar Creek Dam capacity and having to wait for the 1bnashka Creek Project for
another year.

the JCme 3rd, 1971, meeting. The expenditures were briefly summarized by the
Chairman noting that although the City has indicated there will be an increase in
the First District costs, the mill rate will probably stay the sane in the Fire
District due to shared revenue to be expended in that area. There has been a
decrease in the insurance for the hospital and noted that the reserve find for any
operational deficit has been dropped to $30,000 which will accumulated over sever&
years. To a suggestion to delete the Assemblyman's travel and orransation it
was not that these should be left in just in case travel were required and that
consideration should be given to a small compensation to the assemblyman in order
that they could be covered by worker's compensation in case of an accident. It
was noted that under contracture' services, coney has been designated for a planner
and if a full-time planner is hired this 'mild cost $7,200 with the city participat

night recreation program. Noted that this budget 'mild mean that the rill rate
would remain the same as last year, that is 5 dills The budget will carry as an

major expenditures and revenues.

to the Boamgh Assembly members for their review. Noted that the assessed
valuation of time BOmugh will be very close to $66,000,000. Further pointed
out that with the increased assessed valuation it would be possible to
operate an a 4.9 mill rate with 4 4 going for support of the school and.35
for operation of the Borough. Mr. Sims expressed the opinion that acs imts
that had not been used during the past year should be ompletely deleted.
However the administratian felt that Assemblyman travel should be left in

traveling in the future particularly when the Borough is in the planning
stages for new sever lines and applications for federal funding in these
areas.
The Hankers requested that the proposed budget be printed in the paper and
that the amounts budgeted for 1970 -71 should also be printed and a shaairg
of expenditures to date should also be included.
The revere figures were reviewed and noted that these are only estimates
and it is passible that the shared revenues would not be the same. However,
Hest of the revenues have been figured lower than indicated by the Department
Revenue in order that this error could be taken cure of.
At the time of printing of the proposed budget it was suggested that a note
be made that the Borough has included the $19,000 for the cartemity college
funding and the $10,000 for the p.hlir library in the local contribution.
An additional $7500 has been added to be used for the night recreation program
Mr. Sims moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 71 -8-0 in first reading, sanded
