Phil Cline, Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center
Administrator, reported that the hospital had a strong
financial picture January through March and, although
losses were incurred in April and May, he felt the
hospital was financially in good standing. He hoped for
Assembly /Providence coordination to establish a long -term
care program for Kodiak's elderly. He presented a copy of
the fiscal year 2001 audit and a check for $373,731.63 to
Deputy Mayor Heinrichs.
In response to Assemblymember Razo, Mr. Cline said a long-
term care program was a community need.
In response to Deputy Mayor Heinrichs' interest in open
dialogue, Mr. Cline said the Borough would be included in
the process.
Manager Carlson reported that the Village Oil Spill
Response Equipment Project was completed on time and under
budget and the extra funds would be spent developing

ASSEMBLYMEMBER COMMENTS
Assemblymember Stevens congratulated Steven Hunt on his
appointment to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
Alaska Housing Finance Committee Board of Directors would
be in Kodiak next week, and he hoped the Assembly would
attend their meetings to learn more about the effects of
consolidation on rural home loan programs. He said the
sign for the hospital honoring Wilton White was not
appropriate and a more appropriate sign should be sought.
In response to Deputy Mayor Heinrichs, Assemblymember
Stevens said the Hospital Advisory Board had no opinion
about the sign.
