KIB ASSEMBLY MEETING, DECEMBER 1, 1977 PAGE 2
No one spoke for the ordinance.
Leon "Ole" Johnson, vice - chairman of hospital board. Spoke against
the ordinance. He stated that the ordinance has come to the hospital
board as a complete surprise and felt that the hospital board should
have been advised of the proposed ordinance in advance of the first
reading. The hospital board was charged with the responsibility of
negotiations for selecting someone to take over the operation of the
hospital when the Grey Nuns have completed their agreement. The
board feels that the ordinance duplicates some of the effort the
board was charged with the feels this should be clarified.
Sr. Josephine Patti, hospital administrator. The governing board of
the hospital has several concerns, mainly, powers and duties Section
8.04.03. Suggested that perhaps the ordinance should establish an
"health facilities advisory board" instead of an ''hospital advisory
board ". This section sets up the governing board of the hospital as
an advisory board to the assembly which seems to be in conflict with
the ordinance. Wishes this to be clarified. Feels Section D regard-
ing recommendation on financial matters and Section E with regard to
policies and programs must be explained. Stated that this ordinance
would make it very difficult to continue discussion with the groups
now being contacted in regard to operating the hospital until. these
points have been clared up. Also questioned who would decide what
is an "emergency matter ". Is concerned not only as a member of the
governing board but as an hospital administrator. Stated that this
ordinance would necessitate the board contacting each group of people
interested in running the hospital because it could not be run on
the same basis as it has been in the past. Feels that a work session
with the governing board should have been held.
Barbara Carberry, a nurse at the Kodiak Island Hospital. Concurs
with the remarks of Sr. Patti. Reiterates that the ordinance is not
clear.
Mrs. Wallin asked for a show of hands from those people who were
against the ordinance. Fourteen were against.
Betty Springhill telephoned to voice her objection mainly because
there had not been a work session prior to the public hearing.
The public hearing was closed, meeting opened. Mrs. Kavanaugh
stated the ordinance frightens her because (1) it appears to put the
borough assembly in the position of running the hospital, (2) the
set -up seems to be similar to that of the Mental Health Center which
has caused problems, and (3) as stated by Sr. Patti, some points are
completely vague. Feels the assembly should first decide why the
borough needs the ordinance. Mr. Denslow reviewed the situation
briefly. Last spring the Grey !:uns of the Sacred Heart advised the
assembly in writing that they would be relinquishing management of
the hospital in May, 1978. (1) Assembly instructed the present
hospital board to assume responsibility for reviewing and making
recommendation of a number of potential management firms that could
be selected by the assembly for management of the hospital. (2) To
negotiate with the legal counsel to write an opinion reflecting on all
the matters you were confronted with. The basis on which legal counsel
created this ordinance was that the borough is ultimately responsible
for the managerial and fiscal liability even though the hospital
management is contracted to a manageme firm. Another element is
the:matter of timing. The present hospital board had been asked to
make a recommendation by January 1, 1373 in order that a selection
could be made and ample time given to make the transition from one
management firm to the other. 'x. 'ack feels that the governing body
of the hospital is not a legal entity, except as the management firm
wishes to utilize its recommendations. Should clarify the specific
areas of the ordinance that are unclear. 11r. Williams feels that if
the borough is ultimately responsible for the function of the hospital
an ordinance would be required. 1r. Emmick stated he could apprec-
iate Sr. Patti's concern in that the hdninistrator needs some kind of
direct board with which to work. :!e explained the mechanics involved

Mrs. Wasson was sworn in as an assembly member by the clerk.
With the approval of the seconc, Mr. Logan, Hrs. Kavanaugh moved to
amend her motion to deter.
Sr. Josephine Patti pointed out that strictly speaking, the Kodiak
Island Hospital is not a public hospital; the governing body is a
non - profit corporation under the laws of Alaska and operates as such.
The borough owns it but have leased it to a non - profit group to
operate it.
The work session with the hospital governing board will be scheduled
tor December 10 instead of December 3.
Mr. Denslow will research the legalities of this situation.
B. Ordinance 177 -35 -0 Establishing :Till Bay- uonashka Service Area.
Ur. Logan read Ordinance „77.35 -0. :!rs Kavanaugh moved for adoption
of Ordinance 877 -35 -0. Seconcad 'y Yr. Peotter. Public hearing otmnad.
Dave Hernne teen, fisherman and Uonashka property owner. Has e
water and septic systems and would like to see the i1onashka day
Subdivision excluded from the ordinance. Would like to see the tree
remain as it is now, not become s ubdiviaed into smaller land ri
He enjoys the beauty and privacy tie trees. - -
Hr. Widom, City ^Tanager. Feels that the City has an honest
of opinion. Read Article 10 of the State Censitution, Section -
duplication of governing powers and services and Section 5,
Areas and A.S. 29.63.090 Section D, Scrvice /areas. (1) Under;-
that annexation was never considered by the Planning & Zoning
mission regarding their deliberations on the service area ant
The engineering study their consideration is ;rased on has many
problems. Read memo from city engineer, John Stafford, esti- .at_ --
the actual costs of construction would run approximately 25 r
higher the estimates and Peels that another lift station voul: .
ft
needed for sewer disposal. The probable date to begin operat:_
the new sewer treatment plant is early next year. At the anne <i:. -
hearing by the boundary commission for the Pii11 Bay area on C - _
he will propose annexation of the Mill Fay- !;onashka area. Ste _
the planning powers given to the borough by the state are beic-
the fullest extent possible. Feels that adoption of this orc_-t-
would not be in compliance with Article 10 of the State Const:t.-.
and A.S. 29.63.090 D.
Mrs. Kavana questioned that the city could provide water,
road, ire services, et cetera if this area were annexed. Sts-•' - the main tax base for the borough lies inside the city.
Mr. Jack. Stated that in the past there have been attempts t7 v
various ious areas outside the city and each time they have been v:
down; now the city is planning to annex the Gill Bay- ;4onashka
without putting it to the vote of the people. Mr. Widom respee.
that the city may or may not bypass the people in the proposed
annexation to the city of the Mill Bay - Monashka area.

KIa ASSE BLY M tEsi:iG, uECEMBER 1. 1 377
PACE
Mr. Logan. Asked if the city is annexing the `11 Bay Fpad area by
legislation. tr. Widom asnwerod 'yes Asked if most of the _property
owners were not businesses that want_ in the city so it could nay
their personal property taxis. Feels that the city had soot annexed
and is now trying to fill in the holes even though the sroperty
owners not previously a._.er.cd had expressly stated they did not ::ant
annexation. `
Dr. Erhnick. Stated that the ordinance ±s a result of DEC condemna-
tion of certain residential property in the area. Feels that city
should stand behind its a with the borough to sive the rosier
of the borough, as well as the city_ the services of the sewer treat-
ment plant. Mr. Widom stated that from an economic standpoint he
would welcome the expansion of the services to the borough even thoug'h
the city has changed its Hind on this question several times. ':r,
Hernnsteen was asked if he preferred to be in a service district or
be annexed to the city. He replied, .either ''.
Hrs. Wallin:. Asked if it is not the intent of the city startingsthis
year to annex areas on the existing road system. `Ir. Widom stated tha
it would definitely not incluue Chiniak.
Mr. Williams. Established that the city does provide fire service in
this area but that they do not have a fire truck in the area and canna
meet the minimum requirements.
Mr. Peotter. No comments
Hrs. Wasson. No comments
Lorna Arndt. Stated that at one time the island Lake area had wanted
to be annexed to the city but were told the city could not build
roads and the area could not meet the requirements for roads, sewer
and water. Also stated that the city had contaminated Island Lake.
The Island Lake area is being forced to get their own sewer plan which
will be financed by EPA and State funds. Is definitely for the
service district but not for annexation.
Dr. Emmick. Explained that the establishment of a service area ioes014.
mean the actual formation of or forcing of a service district.
Ron Chase. Pointed out that this area includes all the surrounding
borough area, such as :Spruce Cape, - :tiller Point, et cetera and that
more people would have been present to voice opinions had they realize
this included areas other than Mill Say and Monashka Bay. Is against
the ordinance because he feels the cost would be prohibitive for road,
sewer and water assessments. It was reiterated that the establishment
of a service area is a first step formality and that tha formation of
a service district for specific services would have to coma from the
property owners themselves.
Mr. Jack. Stated that it is agreed that there is a great need for
fire protection in the area but that a fire service area could not
established without the passage of this ordinance and then the people
would have to vote on it before it could become a reality. It was
stated that the roads the borough has constructed in that area are a
result of the Service Roads and Trails Program as the borough does not
have toad powers.
::r. Logan. Pointed out that the Spenard Service District had fought
annexation to the City of Anchorage for years.
Emil Norton. Is definitely against the service area unless all people
in the area would request a service.
Jo Haidu. Is definitely in favor of the service area and understands
the concept of the service area and that only people residing in the
affected area would be eligible to vote on the formation of a service
area. Stated that the people outside the city are not parasitic and
that the Spruce Cape water line had bean paid for by federal funds

after the earthquake. The property owners still ray water bills to
the city. Feels that the cite is not able to take: care of services
within its own boundaries so could not possibly take care of s-•rvices
in a district as far away as tho ?ionashka -'till Bay area. Feels that
annexation may have been delayed another ton years as a result of
some of the comments made earlier in the meeting.
Dan Ogg resident of Island vista Subdivision. Does not want to be
forced into annexation. Stated ? :o would like to sec a legal descrip-
tion in the ordinance that corresponds to the borough zoning neap.
Stated that he does not want water and sewer and cants the lots to
remain one acre or larger. Stated that he had been receiving the
minutes from previous . meetings later than usual. Also, he • had hoard
that water and sewers would be in the '?onashka Bay area within two or
three years and he wishes it to remain as it is. Agrees with ?"r.
Hernnstecn that a service area might cause the loss of privacy and
lead to the cutting of trees. Submitted exhibits for study and con-
sideration of the assembly. Asked if the borough has the right to
grant use permits if they do not have road powers.
Jack McBride, Shahafka Acres. Explained that some five -years ago the
residents of Shahafka Lcres had done everything intheir power to
become annexed to the city and are still wating. These people are now
in agreement with the proposed Island Lake sewer plan. Feels that
regardless of what the peel: of :ionashka i3ay do, eventually the city
is going to grow in their direction and service will come. Is in favor
of water and sewer development in an orderly manner and feels it should
come with establishment of a service district rather than annexation.
Widom. Stated that the city had laid the last payment on the Spruce
Cape dater line this year. Pointed out that a service area was
established in the Islam Lake area in 1956 or 1969. Feels that unifi-
cation is the answer to the problems of the city and borough.
Mrs. Wallin closed the public hearing and opened the meeting.
Mr. Denslow. There are so many aspects of the problem to be addressed;
however, the specific issue is how the KI3 assembly resnonds to the
expressed wishes of numerous citizens for a Te chanism to deal with
their road, sewer, water, fire and related s.. rvice requirements. Dir-
ected the administration and legal counsel to come up with a mechanism
to satisfy the obvious requirements of tha constituents. One of the
significant virtues of the borough occAanism is the flexibility with
which it can respond to those expressed needs of the citizens. The
service requirements that will be rendered on behalf of those citizens
can be tailored to what they arc willing to ply for and what they vote
on. The legal description is appropriate to the area to ba considered.
Areas su ?h -as the Island Lake Sewer and Yachtine Club can form their
own service district and become eligiblo for up to :f7 percent federal
and state funding. The sewer treatment plant is being constructed with
federal money and was to he available to all of the Kodiakmetropolitan
area. Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
At 9:05 P.M. a recess was called. Meeting reconvened at 9:15 P.f.
C. Ordinance 1:77 -36 -0 Amending the Uxisting Apportionment of Plan-
ning Commission. Members. 'Irs. Kavanaugh read the correspondence and
ordinance. Mrs. Kavanaugh moved for adoption of Ordinance 11
Seconded _by Mr. Peottar. Mrs. Wallin closed the meeting and opened
the public hearing.
No one spoke for the ordinance.
Mr. Widom. Read from the minutes of the KIB assembly special meeting
of November 15, 1977. Stated that the ordinance could not be effective
until thirty days after passage and that a now member could not bo
appointed until after a term (vacant) had expired. Mrs. Wallin stated
she could not find anything in the Alaska Statutes to support this.
Dr. Emmick questioned the legality and contents of the special heating
and felt that the contents of the meeting as advertised was not very

specific. Mr. Peotter pointed out that at the time of tha special
meeting it was discussed whether or not it would be appropriat:: to
act on this ordinance at first readin^. Th_ entire assembly 7las of
the opinion that it was in direct relationship to the reapportionment
and that it was part of that special but that depending on
where a person stands, it could or could not be construed to be covered
by the agenda. Mrs. 'rallin closed the public hearing and reopened the
meeting. Mrs. Kavanaugh staged sh-. '_lt that t'ze first radin :G of the
ordinance should have been naG.e public. ::mmick mov._d to ar,._nd the
g o � rdinancs to call this thy. First rad=n-T of Ordinance 177 -36 -0.
Omanaugh F.domm_.nde:d that the third from last 1_n, b_ changed to
borough mayor" instead of "borough chairman'. The am•_ndment carried
by unanimous roll call vote.rs. Wallin stated that the assembly is
governed by the state statutes. :1r. Dcslosr stated he felt the wording
of the ordinance is correct as it stands without adding the phrase
"or scat vacancy" to the fourth from the bottom lira . :lain motion
carried with Mr. Jack casting one NO vote. ;;r. Denslow respond to
some of tha technical issues raised: (1) although the intent of the
announcement was as the assembly had wished, it could be construed as
technically incorrect. The thirty days for appointments is correct,
however, since there is not a complete list there was no intent to make
further appointments at this time. (2) expiration of berms was
explained earlier; and (3) tho natter of a list of names was an
issue created by the city not the borough. Alaska Statutes requires
that a list will be provided.
Mrs. Wallin stated she had asked that Item VI 3 be deferred. She now
requests that the matter be delayed as sev;.r =.1 more names have been
submitted.
VIII OLD BUSINESS

Nodular Elementary School Plan. Mr. Puotter read the correspondence.
Mrs. Kavanaugh moved to accept the proposal of Maynard NBBJ for the
Modular Elementary School Concept. Seconded by Dr. Ernmick, Mr.
Denslow explained that this enables the borough to respond to the needs
for improvements in advance without having any technical details in
advance as to the characteristics of a particular site. (1) Gives
a plan of sufficient detail to estimate the cost for fiscal planning
purposes, and have a plan within a relatively short time which could
be embellished with detail ready for specifications and actual bidding
for construction, and (3) by having a non -site spccific plan will have
gone through the most time consuming aspects of design. The main
objective was to have some input in the capital improvements program
for the next five -year period. Hr. Jack stated that sometimes federal
monies become available that have to be tied up in a relatively short
period of time. These plans are rn:ccssary because of that situation.
Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
