Mr. White did state that if this land became available for sale we should put it up for public auction. B. Request from Mr. Fred Greer - RE: Special Land Use Permit - Mr. Greer is a land owner in the Bells Flats area and has applied for a water reserve right from the State, but the State has in turn requested that Mr. Greer obtain permission from the adjacent property owners of which the water line will go through. The Borough happens to be the adjacent property owners and he is re- questing a letter from the Borough Assembly voicing no objections of running a water line across the land from Jack Lake. Mr. White recommends that we voice no objection to the placement of the line to fulfill his qualifications' to the State. Mr. Powell had two questions (1) What is the size of the line (2) Is he selling his water? Because Mr. Greer was not present, it was suggested that this be put back on the September 6th agenda and that Mr. Greer be present and also a map of the area to see where this property is actually located. The assembly concurred. VI PUBLIC HEARINGS VII OLD BUSINESS A.

Mr. White states that this is for the Borough's information. B. Kodiak Airways Lease - Mr. White does not have any recommendations on the Kodiak Airways lease at this time, because of the large difference in the appraisal price.

Lousiana Timber Co. - Mr. White stated that two representatives from the Lousiana Timber Co. were in the Borough Office. They wanted to know if the Borough is considering the harvesting of timber on Shuyak Island or elsewhere? They would like to have the opportunity to bid or enter into a long term contract with the Borough. Mr. White also stated that the PeranosaTimber Co. is proceeding with the surveying of the roads and bridges on Afognak Island, even though there was a negative attitude at their last meeting here.

Mr. Wood stated that the Boundary Commission will be coming to Larsen Bay, August 29th to incorporate Larsen Bay as a Second Class City and he believes that the Borough should send someone over for this public hearing.

Mr. White stated that he had a report from Dr. Falcon, on an epidemic in Old Harbor and that it might be caused from the Water Supply. Mr. White immediatlly contacted the State and they recti- fied the problem. It was apparently caused by unsanitary health problems such as a dump site being to near to the town and other poor health standards. XI AUDIENCE COMMENTS A. Mrs. Heitman asked if when we vote on something, she thought we should have a majority of four instead of three. Mr. White stated that a majoirty is three, and when only three members are present, it would require that all three vote the same way. B. Mrs. Holt stated that she would like to get the approval from the assembly on the certified population figure of Kodiak. The figure she has for the Borough 1s 6,965.

Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. C. Mr. White mentioned that the Bristol Bay Borough 1s levyingbalsartaxt on their raw fish.
