CITY COUNCIL NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
In action Monday night the
Fairbanks City Council passed
Ordinances 1136 and 1138, deal
ing with sales tax exemptions
for non-profit organizations op
erating booths at the Fairbanks
Winter Carnival and amending
Bond Ordinance 1133, defeated
Ordinance 1137, which would
have rezoned a portion of Block
146, placed three Ordinances in
first reading, and approved two
liquor license transactions.
Ordinance 1137, which provided
for the rezoning of the south half
of Block 146 from restricted resi
dential to multiple residential was
denied, after some discussion. The
rezoning was requested by Dr.
Frank Spaulding who stated he
wished the area to be rezoned so
that he could have a partner assist
him in his practice as a chiroprac
tor.
Spaulding pointed out that prior
to his purchase of the property, it
had been zoned business, and that
it had been recommended that it
be zoned multiple residential in the
1961 Neighborhood Analysis. He
also stated that the other three cor
ners on Airport Way wrere also
zoned multiple residential.
Duane Hall, a resident of the area,
objected to the rezoning, stating
he felt it would establish a prece
dent, leading to more of the area
being zoned multiple residential.
Couneilwoman Sylvia Ringstad al
so objected for the same reason.
Rezoning Fails
The rezoning Ordinance failed, 1
but several Council members de- j
dared they would be in favor of a |
deed restriction, allowing Spaulding !
to take in a partner. The matter was
given to the City Attorney for in
vestigation.
After some discussion, the Coun- ;
cil directed City Attorney Barry !
Jackson to draw up a conflict of
interest Ordinance, following a por
tion of his report on ethical stand
ards in municipal governments.
In bringing the matter up, Coun
cilman Red Boucher stated he felt
it was necessary to get such an j
Ordinance with some teeth in it.
Under the proposed Ordinance,
persons holding financial interests
in companies which do business with
the City could not hold positions as
employees or officials of the City, '
or be members of any City Board
or Commission. Violation of the
Ordinance would result in forfeiture
of office.
Boucher also suggested that the
Ordinance provide some method to
| determine guilt and fix punishment,
1 and provide exceptions for persons
1 supplying unique goods or services.
Park Ordinance
The Council held the first read
ing of Ordinance 1139. which would
i set aside certain areas within the
city for parks and playgrounds.
Councilman Darrell Brewington
proposed an amendment which
would allow the Kiwanis Club to
operate that area known as Kiwanis
Park. City Attorney Jackson re
quested that the Ordinance not be
advanced until next week.
Ordinance 1140. which would
lower the required age to operate a
motor scooter within the City from
16 to 14 was held in first reading
and advanced for public hearing at
the next meeting.
Councilman Tom Robert com
mented on the number of names
present on the petition presented to
Council last week requesting this
change. He pointed out that many
of the signers were from outside
the City and remarked, “I was sur
prised there are so many people in
town I don’t know.”
Liquor License?
The Council granted a request b>
Steve Boinich for a duplicate liquoi
license for the Persian Room, lo
cated in the Model Cafe. City At
torney Jackson pointed out that thi:
was the first such license passec
on, as it comes under a new regu
lation recently enacted by the Alco
holic Beverage Control Board. H<
pointed out that it would result ir
more money to the City withou
granting any additional licenses.
The Council also approved thi
transfer of the liquor license of thi
International Bar from L. Levi ti
L. Levi and Francis X. Wirth.
Ordinance 1141 changing the exist
ing Ordinances on assessments wa
passed on for public hearing at th
next regular meeting.
