He spoke in opposition to a house and COMMITTEE REPORTS senate bill requiring P&Z Commission members to be elected and said the P&Z Commission supported a forthcoming K.I.B. resolution opposing the election of P&Z Commission members. He requested direction from the assembly on reviewing a generic appeals ordinance. Assemblyman Gregg favored a generic appeals procedure. Assemblyman Austerman said in reviewing the generic appeals ordinance that he had some problems with portions of it. He would like to discuss it further at a work session before giving the P&Z Commission any direction. Pat Szabo, member of Solid Waste Task Force, expressed concern about extending the present Solid Waste Collection contract for two years. She felt the present system had just "grown" and was inequitable and ineffective. She said there was no relationship between the fees charged to the taxpayer, the volume of waste generated, or the cost to the borough. She thought this ineffective, expensive system would be perpetuated if the present contract was extended. She explained some of the short term rates supposed by the Solid Waste Task Force. Louie Lowenberg, member of the Solid waste Task Force, said the revised version of Resolution 88-01-R had been given to the task force for review shortly before the assembly meeting. He explained the task force reasonings behind the rates proposed by the task force. He concurred with Mrs. Szabo's statements regarding extending the present contract. He said the task force had drafted a resolution of their own and thought the assembly should adopt it rather than the resolution presented. Marion Stirrup, member of the Solid Waste Task Force, requested the assembly not to approve the two year extension of the present contract for the same reasons as previously stated. Assemblyman Gregg said the views expressed by the members of the Solid Waste Task Force regarding the extension of the current contract were unepimous. Punic BAl>05 None Mayor Selby reminded the assembly about the proposal with the city of Kodiak to swap two pieces of equipment at the landfill for a D-7 Cat and an ten -yard truck. He said the borough had some legal paperwork that had to be done before the swap could take place and the city was willing to lease the equipment in the interim. He requested authorization to negotiate the lease. MERRIMAN, seconded by AUSTERMAN VOTE ON MOTION MOTION CARRIED moved to authorize the mayor to lease equipment for the landfill from the city of Kodiak. Unanimous voice vote Mayor Selby proclaimed the week of April 10-16, 1988 as the Week of the Child and the week of April 17-23, 1988 as National Library week in Kodiak, Alaska. OLD 8081 BB A.

Assemblymember Barker pointed out that the two-year extension of the contract to Kodiak Sanitation was deleted in the amended resolution and asked what would happen to the fees if this version was adopted and the contract was not renewed. Mayor Selby explained that the current contract would expire on December 31, 1988. As far as the rates, he said the only one that would have any meaning would be the fee for the 20 yard truck which was tariffed at $80 per truck load. The other trucks were covered under an existing contract with the borough at a lesser rate and he thought the contract would supersede the resolution. Assemblymember Barker inquired about the advantage of going out to bid and the possibility of changing contractors. Assemblyman Gregg responded that the two-year extension of the contract was the pivotal issue in the entire existence of the Solid Waste Task Force. He pointed out that if the contract was extended as it is written, the borough would be establishing "status quo" for the next two years. He proceeded to elaborate on other questions the task force had raised. Assemblyman Stevens asked if it would be possible to extend the term of the operating agreement and renegotiate the agreement to the satisfaction of the Solid waste Task Force? Mayor Selby said he thought the reason why the borough was willing to extend the contract was because Kodiak Sanitation Inc. had indicated they were willing to make a number of the changes recommended by the Solid waste Task Force. He also said that the one piece of stability in the whole garbage system was the col- lection process. He noted that Kodiak Sanitation had an Alaska Public Utilities Commission permit to collect garbage and said if the contracQ goes to some other company Kodiak Sanitation, Inc. could contest the matter in court. Assemblyman Gregg, assembly representative to the Solid waste Task Force, answered questions from the assembly. At the Assembly's request, members of the Solid Waste Task Force were asked to address the issue. Louie Lowenburg commented that the 54.00/yard was strictly an interim recommendation until the end of the contract year. Secondly, he pointed out that the task force had recommended extending the contract with the present contractor for short intervals until the assembly could get the problem under control. Further disnuaninn followed hnween rhs gumM y .nA Ms_ Lowenburg, Mrs. Szabo, Duane Freeman, and Eric Blankenburg of the Solid Waste Task Force. Fred Nasi agreed with the Solid Waste Task Force that the con- tract needed changes, but in this particular case, he said the contract didn't make any difference because he was doing things the same as he did with the previous contract with the city of Kodiak. He added that invariably every time they bid a contract with the city, it ended up being negotiated. He said that he was hesitant to agree to short term extensions. He said there were so many changes talked about that he wasn't certain he wanted to be involved in it anymore. He also agreed with the Solid Waste Task Force that the contract was poorly written.

OTHER OTHER CITI=00 C0MUNlN CITIZENS' COMMENTS None April 7, 1988 Page 55 Kodiak Island Borough Regular Assembly Meeting AS.SBIBLY! is C Assemblyman Austerman commented on the discussion held at a work session concerning the bike path and who would be responsible for keeping it clean if the state of Alaska failed to do so. He said he had done some checking into the cost involved in sweeping the path and came up with $125.00 per sweeping. He figured the path should be swept three or four times a year for approximately $500.00. Since this path is considered under the jurisdiction of "Parks" he felt the borough had an obligation to keep it clean. AUSTERMAN, moved that the borough seconded by STEVENS obtain a bid to sweep the bike path four times a year. VOTE ON MOTION MOTION CARRIED Unanimous Voice Vote Mayor Selby requested authorization from the assembly to move $750 into the Parks cleaning budget. Assemblyman Stevens felt since it was the responsibility of the state of Alaska to keep the bike path clean, the state should be sent a bill. Assemblyman Stevens requested the clerk to get a sympathy card extending condolences to Assemblymember McFarland over the death of his father. He reminded the assembly that Mayor Fink from Anchorage would be in Kodiak on Friday and extended an invitation to them to attend a noon luncheon at Elks Club to hear him speak. He also referred to an article in their packets about Individual Transfer Quotes for fisherman in New Zealand that he thought was an interesting concept. Assemblymember Barker, assembly representative to the Hospital Board, said the board had been active in seeking support from the local community and legislators for a new hospital in Kodiak. She said the hospital plans were complete and the ground work was being completed. The board was looking to the state of Alaska for support of approximately fourteen million dollars she said, and the board weld appreciate any local assistance given toward attaining this goal. Presiding Officer White announced there would be a special assembly meeting on April 14, 1988 at 7:30 p.m, to award the bid for high school improvements followed by a work session. The next regular assembly meeting will be held on April 21, 1988. Also, he said the first meeting for the King Crab Rehabilitation Council would be held on April 12, 1988 and invited the public to attend. He asked the mayor for a report on the progress for the heliport. Mayor Selby said the construction drawings were being worked on and plans were to build the heliport this summer. Mayor Selby also reminded the public that a public hearing on the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge would be held on April 12, 1988 and said this refuge would definitely impact Kodiak Island.
