City Council Briefs
Several pieces of City property
were up for re-assessment follow
ing a request for reappraisal by
the owners.
The City assessment Officer re
ported the properties in question
had been rfc-appraised and the pre
sent assessments found to be on a
correct valuation. The City Coun
cil concurred in this finding.
Grancii Members Oppose
Ufesnpervised Playgrounds
Council members expressed
themselves as very much opposed
•o the erecting of any more un
super vised playgrounds in Kodiak.
The question‘ came up when a
letter was read from the Board of
Directors of the Kodiak Rotary
dub as favoring a sanitary fill for
the Russian Church property be
low Mission Road as the first step
in constructing a playground
there.
•TJnsupervised playgrounds are
no good/’ Councilman Carl Huer
stated. “They are nothing but a
headache. The City can get into
trouble should children get seri
ously injured.” There have been
several injured'"recently at the
playground in' the Aleutian Homes
area.
Other councUmen concurred. It
was also brought out‘that utili
zing the property for a sanitary
fill would constitute improving
private property by the City.
Should a precedent of this nature
be established, it was felt, it would
lead to further demands on City
equipment and services in the fu
ture. The request was tabled.
• The City Manager is now study
ing other areas in which City prop
erty .can be improved by the
sanitary fill method when the
present fill is completed. The
Clark Lake area adjacent to 6th
Street was mentioned.

BLACK TOP PLANT NEEDED
A small black top plant was
-viewed as “a must” for the City,
by Councilman Huer. He advocat
ed the purchase of a small batch
plant, which he said were avail
able from time to time as surplus.
“We are going to have to learn to
take care of our own needs,” he
stated. “Black topping would be
the only way to combat the dust
problem.”
A rock crushing plant was also
mentioned as a necessity. The City
Manager was instructed to check
on the possibility of acquiring a
portable batch plant on surplus.
A letter from Charles Pfeiffer
' advocating a program for teen
agers in Kodiak was read and
discussed. Pfeiffer was in the City
recently and made a survey of
Kodiak’s needs in combatting* ju
venile delinquency. He outlined
a four point program for the
City, which was published in the
Kodiak Mirror last week. In this:
he recommended additional play
ground space, .a boy’s club, a teen
age club center and a swimming
pool.
The Council voted to endorse
the application of the Superinten
dent of Schools, Ivor Schott, for :
the acquisition of five acres of
property adjoining the school site.
The appraisal of city organiza
tion’s efforts and the City’s needs'
of a youth program were voiced
as “hasty.” '
