MINUTLS, KENA1 CITY COUNCIL MFRTING APRIL 5, 1972 Page three E - 7 - Borough Assemblymen's Report - continued The School Board had a budget increase from 1..2 million from last year to 2 million this year. The loss of revenue from Wildwood was given the reason for the increase, though the enrollment is not as bleak as it is painted. A meeting with City Council and school board and possibly the Assembly is scheduled for next Tuesday evening concerning the joint use of the swimming pool. Navarre reported on Wildwood responsibility transfer to the Alaska Federation of Natives. The A.F.N. voted in a Resolution to remove the entire body from Mt. Hdgecumbe to Wildwood. Steinbeck reported Mrs. Banta is worried about the third story of the Borough Building, thinking the Health Center could go there. E - 2 City Attorney's Report Mr. Fisher stated he has spent the equivalent of one week in Juneau lobbying and has submitted written reports and was -assured Council has copies. He also pointed out that no one has been in Juneau lobbying for two weeks. On Ordinance 206-72, he stated that if Council wanted it to be effective after signing, they will need an emergency clause, also Section 2(c) needs to be filled in. Mr. Fisher reported the Hearing before the Public Utilities Commission was like an endurance contest. The only reason C.U.L. gave for an increase (35-401) was to provide a grefit. April 24th, I believe, is the deadline and will e an automatic increase, then the City will have to go to Court to appeal the action.

During a layover in Seattle they met with Congressman Begich. The City Manager continued, in Washington D.C., Mr. Sheehan reviewed our new proposal. It was a drastic proposal as far as they were concerned. The transfer proposal under Native Land Claims is very new to them. The Daily News had a news release from Senator Hensley stating they are studying the use of the Wildwood Air Force Station as a replacement for the Mt. Edgecumbe Boarding School. Mr. Glotfelty .felt this is a tremendous opportunity and to pass up such an opportunity would be detrimental to the community. Malone stated two weeks ago I thoughtof this as a white elephant but since the cooperation of all the agencies, the sky is the limit. I wish to compliment the City Manager. This will mean millions of dollars in the future. Bielefeld said a school for the general communities shouldn't be segragated. Mr. Glotfelty said this is the nice thing about the proposal, the native people are talking about integration not segragation. 4.
