Status Reports - Community Development CITIZENS' COp4ENTS None ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS Assemblyman Merriman commented on the trip the assembly took to inspect the finished schools in Port Lions and Larsen Bay. He said the trip had been interesting and gratifying. He thought everyone was pleased with the final results on the schools and said it make him feel good both as a taxpayer and as an assembly- man to see the work in place. He added the quality was good and rated the design and workmanship as high in all respects. He said the economic boost these two projects brought to the commu- nities was not to be taken lightly. He noted that Mr. Wakefield in Port Lions had pointed out the payroll on the Port Lions school had infused $80,000 into the local economy just last month. He said this was money staying on Kodiak Island. Also, he said maintenance on the Ouzinkie school needed to be addressed. Assemblyman Austerman echoed Assemblyman Merriman's comments about the two schools, and added that he was more than comfortable in proceeding with the Old Harbor school. He said there were definitely things that needed to be done to the Ouzinkie school. He pointed out there were five furnaces operating in the Ouzinkie school which seemed economically unwise. He noted other problems which needed to be remedied in the school. He said that he supported the school district's request for two million dollars to upgrade the Ouzinkie school. Also, referring to a statement made by Senator Stevens that the Navy would be making a report on home porting within six weeks, he urged the assembly to make a last ditch effort to put across to the Navy that the community was interested in the Navy coming to Kodiak. Assemblyman Gregg reminded the assembly that Saturday would be the borough clerk's birthday. He urged everyone to call her to wish her a "Happy Birthday" and to particularly inquire as to how old she was. Assemblyman Barker stated that she was glad to be back in town for a few days. She said she had attended the Hospital Board meeting and reported on new equipment acquired by the hospital. She added that it was good to catch up on everything.
