Award to Tenecia Panamarioff, a senior at Ouzinkie
School.
A. Agenda Items Not Scheduled For Public Hearing
Vicki Jo Kennedy spoke to the confirmation of mayoral
appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
She opposed the appointment of David Nesheim as not
appropriate because he worked for Lesnoi as a
forester and land manager. She knew of upcoming
agenda items that would pose a conflict. She noted
that the Commission reversed a decision because they
barely met quorum requirements when the decision was
made. She suggested that if Mr. Nesheim excused
himself, it could pose a quorum problem. She also
felt that his appointment would stack the Commission.
She was not aware of advertising for Commission
seats.
Presiding Officer Stevens explained the advertising
process through the Kodiak Daily Mirror.
Assemblymember Milligan suggested using the radio as
another way of advertising.

B. Items Other Than Those Appearing on the Agenda
John Whiddon, Parents Advisory Group, spoke of the
culmination of two years work to address drug
problems in the community and with youth. He
presented a resolution that identified problems in
the community and ways to address those problems. He
noted that adults brought drugs into the community
but that as parents, the concern was to create a
safer community by reducing drugs and alcohol
distribution. He said the resolution was also
presented to the School Board and City Council. He
concluded by saying the Group wanted to reduce the
pervasive drug and alcohol problem by working
together toward a common goal.
Presiding Officer Stevens appreciated receiving
information and hoped for a positive response. He
congratulated the Group for their efforts.
Mr. Whiddon added that the Group would research
alternate ways to help youth. He said the Group
wanted to work hand -in -hand to make Kodiak Island a
better place to live.
When Assemblymember Johnson asked if the Group had a
liaison with other groups like the Kodiak Council on
Alcoholism and the Mental Health Center, Mr. Whiddon
said no representative from those groups spoke during
the Group's meetings. He said the Group expected
long -term problem solving in the process of building
support. Assemblymember Johnson encouraged
establishing a liaison.
Jane Edmonds, Parents Advisory Group participant,
pointed out that the problem was not unique to Kodiak
Island but was a national problem. She said specific
problems of juvenile substance abuse, gang violence,
and parent's rights were currently in Senate
Committee hearings and the Governor's Task Force was
addressing those issues so now was the time for local
governments to request assistance.
MikJ State trooper, phoned to suggest that
parents greet students as they arrive at school. He
thought that was a way to show students that parents
care, and parents would accept responsibility for
their children. He saw the program work in other
communities.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Presiding Officer Stevens again thanked Mr. Whiddon
for his presentation on behalf of the Group.

PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC HEART
All ordinances and resolutions presented at this
meeting were introduced by title only and copies made
available to the public.
A. Ordinance No. 95 -08 Amending TITLE 2 ORDINANCE
ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL by Adding CHAPTER NO. 95 -08
2.49 ARTS COUNCIL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 95 -08
that, if adopted, created an Arts Council Advisory
Committee to supervise an enterprise fund to include
the executive director in the Kodiak Island Borough
payroll and benefits package.
The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 95 -08 was before
the Assembly.
HEINRICHS,
seconded by MILLIGAN
moved to amend
Ordinance No. 95 -08 by
substitution.
Mayor Selby explained that the committee would serve
in an advisory capacity to the assembly concerning an
arts council enterprise fund. He said the fund would
be funded by the Kodiak Arts Council, Inc. as well as
grants from other agencies. He noted that all funds
would be used to pay for a personal services contract
and administrative expenses of the executive
director.
Presiding Officer Stevens opened the public hearing.
Susan Oliver, Kodiak Arts Council Board president,
pointed out that the Council researched insurance
carriers and were unable to secure insurance. She
noted that the Board was comfortable with the changes
to the ordinance. She said the Council would provide
funds and hoped to provide insurance for the
director.
When Presiding Officer Stevens asked how many in the
audience supported the ordinance, eleven stood.
Lorna Arndt phoned in her opposition to the ordinance
because she felt it showed preference to one non-
profit. She felt that the director aided the school
district, and should be the responsibility of the
school district, not the Borough. She felt that two
members of the assembly should abstain from voting
because they were deeply involved in the Arts
Council.
Regular Assembly Meeting
December 21, 1995
Volume XX
Page 289
Louie Lowenberq opposed the ordinance because he felt
many other non - profits benefited the community. He
thought the Borough would be in a precarious position
if other non - profits campaigned for the same
benefits.
Don Fox phoned to state he supported the ordinance.
Letters from Rae Jean Rlaskd and Hans and Herta
Tschersich supporting the ordinance were read by the
clerk.
Presiding Officer Stevens closed the public hearing
and reconvened the regular meeting.
Assemblymember McFarland outlined that the
substituted version changed it from an employee
position to a service contract and he felt that
eliminated possible liability with language. He
noted the attorney's opinion was very clear in that
there was no liability if not fully funded by the
Arts Council as a grant. He explained the contract
provided an insurance and retirement package for the
director. He noted that the contract with the
borough clerk contained several of those conditions
and that had set a precedent. He felt the attorney's
opinion clarified that there was no liability to not
honor other requests.
Assemblymember Milligan supported the ordinance as
part of the Assembly's responsibility to support non-
profits. He reiterated that the Borough was mandated
by state law to provide education and was doing so by
supporting the ordinance.
Assemblymember Hancock felt public officials were
expected to set precedents such as the borough had in
projects such as the IFQ lawsuit, the rifle range
project, and the salmon working group.
Assemblymember Johnson noted that as an Arts Council
member, he received only enjoyment from the program.
He encouraged adoption of the ordinance since
concerns were addressed.
Presiding Officer Stevens explained the conflict -of-
interest rule in that a financial interest must be
present.

B. Resolution No. 95 -07B Amending Resolution RESOLUTION
No. 95 -07 Establishing Fees of the Kodiak Island NO. 95 -07B
Borough for Fiscal Year 1996 to Reflect Amended
Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Rates.
Presented for consideration was Resolution No. 95 -07B
that, if adopted, increased solid waste collection
and disposal rates to generate additional revenues
for closure of the existing landfill and development
of the new landfill.
The motion to adopt Resolution No. 95 -07B was before
the Assembly.
Mayor Selby said the rate increase would provide
funds for the closeout of the present landfill and
preparation of the new landfill. He noted that EPA
guidelines were very specific in that the new area be
fully lined and a leachate system installed. He
planned to continue the recycling program in order to
increase the life of the landfill.
Presiding Officer Stevens called for public
testimony; hearing and seeing none, he reconvened the
regular meeting.
In response to Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby
said all expenses for the landfill were charged to
the enterprise fund, not subsidized from the general
fund, with residential fees and U.S. Coast Guard Base
tipping fees.
At further questions, Mayor Selby explained that
cover for the current landfill would be rock and
topsoil on top of a one -half inch thick, totally
impermeable membrane to preclude surface water from
Regular Assembly Meeting

perking out as leachate. He explained that leachate
water was collected and treated and thereby
eliminated damage to the surrounding environment. He
noted that the metals dump known as Smokey's Dump was
completely cleared of all metals and the oil
contaminated soil was treated in order to be closed
out as a clean surface. He explained the difference
between metals and solid waste closeouts. He
enumerated the cost of the closeout at $200,000 per
acre for ten acres to include the $35- 50,000 for
membrane and rock.
In response to Assemblymember Johnson, Mayor Selby
said the membrane was, theoretically, impervious to
root systems.
Assemblymember McFarland explained to the public that
the rate increase was $6 per month in residential
fees and an increase in commercial dumpster fees
based on dumpster size. He reiterated that the
increase affected the entire collection system.
Assemblymember Hancock reiterated that discussion
allowed the only way to cover the costs of closeout
and reopening a landfill were to increase rates. She
wanted a task force formed to research how to handle
solid waste and recyclable items economically.

after a mid -year review of the original budget.

project funds.

presented the historical timeline of the project. He
said the City of Kodiak and the Borough started the
project about ten years ago with the idea the City
would oversee the project, but the City decided that
since it was adjacent to the Owens Building and part
of the University of Alaska, the project should fall
under the University. He said the legislature failed
to fund the project when capital projects were not
funded and it was suggested that the Borough
construct the building and lease it to state and
federal agencies cost - effectively. He thought the
project was in the realm of public buildings, such as
the schools and hospital, and would fit under the
auspices of the Borough.
In response to additional inquiries, Mayor Selby said
the revenue bonds were driven by the twenty -year
lease to National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in
the amount of $1.5 -6 million. He said that resulted
in over half again the funds from one lease. He
emphasized that the impacts from revenue bonds did
not affect the general obligation bond rating.
Presiding Officer Stevens called for public
testimony; hearing and seeing none, he reconvened the
regular meeting.
Assemblymember Hancock opposed the ordinance,
although she initially supported the facility as a
University project. she did not feel it was in the
purview of the Borough to be a landlord.
Assemblymember Johnson favored the ordinance because
the project was worthwhile for the Borough.
Assemblymember McFarland noted that the $6 million
was not part of the sales price for Shuyak Island in
that the appraisal rate came in at $36 million of the
$42 million price. He said funds construction funds
were from the Trustee Council and not the Borough.
He felt the University was in no position to bond.
He was nervous that there was dependence on a certain
department of the federal government for a contract
and lease payment. He saw the need to move forward
with a positive situation in that Kodiak Island
needed to become a focal point for the state.

After a ten minute recess at 8:51 p.m., Presiding
Officer Stevens reconvened the regular meeting.
Mayor Selby read information on the Air Force
minuteman missile contract under consideration for
the rocket launch facility. He clarified that the
decommissioned missiles, to be used for educational
and research purposes, would reduce costs.
He reported that the bids on the $3,000,000 hospital
interest rate was 4.85 percent compared to the 5.5
percent primary rate banks could borrow. He said the
Borough would borrow below what banks pay and the
funds would be invested immediately.

Presented for consideration was Ordinance No. 94 -23

preserve recreational opportunities.
The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 94 -23 was before
the Assembly.
Mayor Selby said one condition of the Shuyak Island
sales contract was to rezone to natural use. He
noted that natural use zoning was restrictive and
allowed the property to be maintained in a natural
state.
At the request of Presiding Officer Stevens, Linda
Freed, Community Development Department Director,
clarified that any coastal development that occurred
would be publicly constructed, or constructed by a
non - profit agency, and would be reviewed by the
planning and zoning commission for a conditional use
permit (CUP). She noted that coastal docking
facilities, like the Anton Larson Bay dock, were
permitted principle uses.

It was suggested that although the appointments were
made by the Mayor and confirmed by the Assembly,
additional applicants would allow the Mayor a choice.
Mayor Selby saw no reason to postpone confirmation as
vacant seats were advertised for four months. He
encouraged applications to the boards and
commissions.
Assemblymember Milligan thought postponement allowed
additional applicants to come forward.
Assemblymember Heinrichs opposed postponement because
he never perceived an undue voice from Commission
members from certain interest groups in the past.

interest was determined during the course of events.
He appreciated public comments so performance
remained in the best interest of the community.
Assemblymember Milligan supported the candidates
although there was the perception of a conflict of
interest. He noted there were clear codes on
conflict of interest. He suggested advertising on
