The Presiding Officer stated that since the School Board had taken formal action to grant the Borough an additional thirty days for action on the Budget, he would not ask for a motion prior to the public hearing. The reason for the extension is to allow time for the legislature to complete any action they may take on the allocations to school districts. The report has been received at this date that the State will allow $1500 per unit. It was noted that JOM money has not been included in the budget, if the money is available then there will be programs under this allocation. The teachers have not been hired under the JOM programs, however they have been told that should the money be available they will have a place with the School District. The money for transportation will mean a drop in the community services account, reduction of about $110,000 from local expenditure. KIB SPECIAL MEETING - APRIL 27, 1974 Page 2 Mr. Powell asked why the debt service has been transferred to the Borough Budget. It was noted that capital improvements are a responsibility of the Borough. The revenues that have been received in the past, tobacco tax and Chapter 249 will be received through the School District and forwarded to the Borough. It was felt that all the debt service should be handled through one budget. The Tobacco Tax is applied for by the School District and transferred by Resolution of the School Board to the Borough. Mr. Nelson again stated that he felt the School Board should hold a public hearing on the School Budget prior to presentation to the Assembly. This would enable the public to have some input into the working budget. This has been discussed previously and no conclusion was reached at this time. Mr. Powell noted that the next regular meeting of the Assembly will be May 2, and the information necessary for review of the budget should be available at that time. Another work session will be set with the Assembly and School Board and a special meeting for acceptance sometime probably during the third week of May. The public hearing was closed and the regular meeting reconvened. IV NEW BUSINESS A. Letter from the City of Kodiak, Requesting Borough To Fund a Joint Dog Control Project with the City of Kodiak.
