R . ASSEMBLY AND MAYOR'S COMMENTS

KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 6, 1988

Mr. Hodgins reported EDD has discussed the economic impact of the early beginning of the school year and they will be looking at the portion of the tourist dollars generated from residents of the area.

Mr. Brown expressed satisfaction with ADEC's Commissioner Kelso's award of a contract with HardingILawsons to search for and identify locations where improper disposals of waste may have occurred. The public will be involved through provision of mail-in cards. When the

f-- inventory is complete information will be released for public comment. He stated the September 8 meeting of the Nikiski Chamber of Commerce would be concerned with establishment of a 5 year plan for

$d capital projects as outlined by Ms. Huss. He felt the resume referred to for EDD would have better results if input was received in another way. He also urged public review of the results.

Mrs. Phillips stated in the interest of saving both time and money, she suggested when there was an agenda as meager as the one for this meeting, the Assembly be polled as to whether or not to hold the meeting. The results of the poll, if against a meeting, could then be published in time for public notification.

Mrs. Walli acknowledged Father Dean in the audience, recently transferred from Homer to Soldotna.

Mrs. Moock thanked the participants in the 4-H projects at the Ninilchik Fair, particularly those who formed a conglomerate to purchase James Martin's steer. Mr. Martin was one of those killed the the crash of a Ryan Air plane last year. She reported the proceeds will go into a perpetual scholarship fund in his name.

Vice Pres. Carey asked the Mayor how he planned to designate the conference room dedicated with Res. 88-77. Mayor Gilman stated his intent was to hang a picture of Frances Brymer in the conference room

f to familiarize users of the room who have not had the opportunity to know her.
