Ordinance read by Mr. Jack. Regular meeting closed; public
hearing opened. Mr. Ivan Widom spoke regarding the ordinance.
Regular meeting reopened; public hearing closed. Mr. Jack com-
mented: "They are having a distinct problem now with the hotel
which is being built with only 48 parking places. It is going
to empty into the worst intersection in Kodiak. There is a fire-
house, the police station, post office and telephone company
building in a row there. Without some manner of directing
traffic flow by making one -way streets or by multiple street
lights, I don't see any way heavy trafficc could add 32 units
emptying into the same place. My objection is not to the housing
it is to the traffic pattern. I would like to see these cor-
rections made in traffic patterns prior to rezoning this 'arti-
cular piece of property ". ?Irs. Kavanaugh commented: "After
reading the survey that was just received that we sent out last
year and the number one priority in that survey was for low cost
housing, this property is not suitable for anything more than
what the development plan has given us. It is within walking
distance from downtown Kodiak which, I think, would eliminate a
lot of vehicles." Issue recessed until next meeting. Mrs.
Kavanaugh was ruled ineligible to vote as she own5property in the

IX MANAGER'S REPORT
1. Further progress in negotiations with the Ouzinkie Native
Corporation resulted in the development of a land substitution
proposal to go through offices of Senators Stevens and Gravel
and to the appropriate Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture
dealing with lands on Afograk, Island.
An alternate is to use land which the Borough has on Shuyak
which are state lands which the Borough .could then trade with
the Ouzinkie Native Corporation.
The first proposal is being drafted by legal council and the
second is being studied by legal council. The first should
be in form and ready for review in about ten days. It
will be reviewed in Washington, D. C. with legal council for
the Department of Interior. The question of boundary of the
watershed has arisen. It appears to encompass approximately
6,600 acres rather than 3,600 acres.
2. Progress report on the Karluk, Larsen Bay schools shows
they should be completed in approximately ten days.
3. Have had discussions with Maynard NBBJ Alaska with refer-
ence to the proposed modular school plan to he utilized in the
villages which re'ates to the capital improvements program of
the Borough.
4. The school parking plans are complete and will go to bid
this fall with most of the work being done in the spring.
5. Mr. Milligan and I have been invited to attend the Coastal
Zone Conference, October 25 -27, 1977, in Anchorage. rle will
be panel participants to discuss Kodiak's part in the OCS

elected to the mayor's seat and the assembly, where there is
no question of contest, will be sworn in following ratification

the'berthing in the City boat harbor. He explained that it is
the policy of the City to collect a year's rental in advance,
giving the boat owner, 'exclusive berthing rights" but due to
the shortage of space in the boat harbor. when the lessee's
boat is not in town the City has the right to permit others to
use the space. Mrs. Wallin questioned the fairness and wisdom
of this system. She was informed that the Borough has the
authority in the boat harbor. (5) Would like to set up
another work session on raw resource taxes with the rebate
consideration before the end of this year. (6) Requested
Assembly packets contain maps of all rezoning. (7) Stated
