OTHER OTHER CITIEEIIS' COMMENTS CITIZENS' COMMENTS None ASSE1MYISM'S common ASSEMBLYMEN'S COMMENTS Assemblyman Merriman commented on the airport management concept and said he felt it was one of the most significant possibilities that had come before the assembly for having a position impact on the Kodiak community. He said that after attending several work sessions and hearing information from various experts, he thought it behooved everyone to take the concept seriously. He thought the one thing that was stifling the community so far as real economy growth, was the lack of a first class airport. This was an opportunity to do something about it, he added. Assemblyman Austerman said he had spoken to a local contractor who, in anticipation of the bidding on the Chiniak Road, had dug test holes in the area. These test holes indicated the area was so wet that the contractor who is awarded the contract will have a terrible headache when it rains. Assemblyman Austerman suggested the -Did documents be reviewed so that the borough does not get into a situation where there would be a lot of overrun costs. Also, he added the teachers' union had reopened negotiations so arbitration may not be necessary. Assemblyman Stevens took the opportunity to publicly thank Pat Szabo and her group for the fine clean up of the Kodiak area last weekend. He thought Pat Szabo deserved special recognition for the time and energy that she devoted to the Litterthon. Assemblymember Barker requested a letter be sent to Pat Szabo thanking her for her work on the Litterthon. Also, she thanked Assemblyman white for dividing the budget into sections and assigning different departments to assemblymembers for review. She said her experience reviewing the Data Processing department was valuable. She added that she aained a hetter kv,wieAae nc the budget in that area and also, a better knowledge of haw the data processing department worked. Assemblyman white commended the Kodiak City Council, Kodiak Garden Club, and Bud Cassidy of the borough for their work on the Constitution Gardens and the landscaping in the mall area. He said it made quite a difference in the appearance of the community. He announced up coming assembly meetings and work sessions.
