the steps that should be taken to best protect the Borough's interest in this
land. A letter was also received from Mr. Fred Street concerning this area
in regard to a 55 -year lease granted to Mt. Street by the Borough Assembly.
Since it appears that Nt's. Taylor's claim encompasses some of the leased
area Mr. Street requested that the Borough withdraw all lease or purchase
applications within the iartha Taylor claim area, until final decision has
been made regarding the validity of this claim. During the discussion it
was suggested that this claim area be withheld from the sale of the lots in

G. Tax Roll - as certified by the Borough Clerk and Borough Assessor presented
for the review of the Borough Assembly. The Borough Chairman noted at this
time that John Lucas; Borough Assessor, has submitted his resi effectiv
June 30th and that we have received four applications for the position as of
this date. One from Anchorage and three from people in the ' :!estern States.
Most seem to have a substantial background in assessing so should have the
position filled shortly after the beginning of the fiscal year. The Chairman
will be in contact with the Assembly prior to raking final decision on this
*ratter.
H. High School - Ken Brady was the apparent loo: bidder has written a letter
stating that there was a mistake rade in his figures and that he wished to
withdraw his bid. It is the opinion of the Borough :.ttcrney that if he has
a good reason for this request that he would be afforded this without forfeits
of his bid bond. It is possible that the School District may be able to
negotiate either with is. Brady or the next lowest bidder.
In talking with Forrest Walls, he has indicated that if George Vogt will
submitt a letter withdrawing the Kodiak Island Borough and Mr. White from
the complaint that this could be classified as a class action and that the
bonds could then be sold. t•m. Vogt was to submit such a letter to the
Borough Attorney this afternoon but as of 7:30 P.N. no word had been received
that this was in fact done. It is suggested that we delay the awarding of
the bid until 16 of June and in that time the letter should have been receives
and if the wording is such that Mr 'calls is satisfied then he will certify
the bonds and they can be offered for sale. If the bonds are saleable then
Ik'. Crittenden and Mr. Brady , T 1 11 be over to Kodiak on Tuesday for discussion

the Ouzinkie School. Mir. Branson noted the last letter of negotiation dth
the construction company and stated that the school has been cut about as
much as it can be. That the $28,000 figure is just a minimum, it is possibl

that debt service fund.
