Assemblymember Fitzjearl asked Mayor Selby about the City's present appeal process. Mayor Selby replied that for legal purposes, the procedures need to be identical. The Assembly was the hearing body under Title 29 but can opt, by ordinance, to defer those inside the City of Kodiak to the Council. He reiterated it made it direct for both codes to be identical for the hearing process. Assemblymember Stevens opposed the ordinance because he felt it appropriate the City be involved.

She explained that on June 5, 1980, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly said anything legal or illegal as of this date can continue as it currently is subject to Section 17.36, but if that business was grandfathered without adequate parking, they do not have to provide additional parking unless they come before the Planning & Zoning Commission to request some change to the non - conforming use. She used as an example many homes in Kodiak that were built without the required parking spaces yet, unless they request some significant change to that property, they do not have to provide the required off - street parking.

Wayne Coleman appreciated the Assembly's consideration on the appeal and thought it was a very good information process. ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS Assemblymember Milligan commended Mr. Fisk for his participation in bringing the Governor here. He encouraged the public to come forth with positive recommendations, especially in the area of fisheries. He hoped the public's thoughts and prayers were for peace in the Mid -East.

Assemblymember Fitzjearl responded to a letter from Ray Camardella in which he suggested a maintenance management system for all borough -owned buildings, including schools, apartments, grounds and suggested it be placed on a future work session when it was ready to be presented to the Assembly.

There was no commitment to the Borough to do anything other than accept and review the RFPs at this time. She thanked Jim Fisk, American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, VFW, VFW Auxiliary, Elks, Emblem, and Bill Bishop for the successful Governor's Ball. Assemblymember Fitzjearl asked to have the following statement read into the record: "Unless you were born and raised in Kodiak, you and I came here for various reasons. We didn't come to Kodiak to change the people but rather to be a part of them. When we get elected to public office or get hired as staff to work for the public, we should remember this. Changes in the codes should not be done to suit a few but rather should be done to accommodate growth and changes. The codes were originally written by people who formed the future of this community. Now we seem to be changing and bending the codes to fit a particular need. Let's be cautious in what we do regarding changing codes. After all, we should be government of the people, by the people and for the people not government of a few, by a few and for a few. Also, along with that goes the State Statutes versus Borough Codes. We should abide by the codes, if we have them; in the absence of the codes then we go by the Statutes." She emphasized this statement was her personal opinion. Assemblymember Gould complimented Marcia Bell for the employee of the ulvnth and congratulated City Mayor, Bob Brodie, and wife, Joanne, on the birth of their daughter.
