Local Affairs Head
Coming; Group May
Veto Mandatory Vote
In response to an urgent re
quest by the Kenai Peninsula Bor
ough Study Group, Ronald Cease,
director of the Local Affairs
Agency, Juneau, will confer with
the group in a special Peninsula
wide meeting called for this week
end.
The meeting, which is expected
to draw a capacity crowd of Pen
insula residents interested in bor
ough matters, is set for Sunday at
1 p.m. in the Soldotna School
building.
Possibility of rescinding a mo
tion for mandatory incorporation,
passed at last Saturday's borough
meeting in Soldotna. may be con
sidered if the group feels local op
tion incorporation is feasible af
ter hean'ng comments of the Lo
cal Affairs Agency director.
A decision to seek counsel from
the Local Affairs chief was reach
ed Saturday in the form of a mo
tion passed after dissatisfaction
was expressed regarding passage
of a prior motion for the group to
allow the state to incorporate the
area under mandatory provisions
of the Borough Act.
The combined Seward and Ke
nai-Cook Inlet election districts
No. 9 and No. 10 comprise one of
the five areas in Alaska which
were warned by the Local Affairs
Agency last week that time is
running out if they want to take
advantage of local option provi
sions of the Borough Act.
Under a bill passed by the 1963
Legislature and signed into law
by Gov. Wm. A. Egan, mandatory
incorporation will be required by
Jan. 1, 1964 if incorporation is not
accomplished voluntarily by Oct.
1. Petitions for local option incor
poration must be in Cease’s of
fice by May 15. the warning in
dicated.
Mandatory Vote Wins
The motion for mandatory in
corporation was made by Frank
Mullen, Soldotna, and seconded
by Dan France, Sterling. It pass
ed by a vote of 31 to 24.
Considerable discussion arose
following Mullen’s presentation
of the motion and an effort to
table the motion failed by a 27-24
vote.
Sen. Yule Kilcher, Homer,
warned the group to proceed
with caution in making any de
cision concerning any matter as
important as borough incorpora
tion. Kilcher declared that Mul
len's motion was premature and
that such a motion should have
been made at the close of a meet
ing only after much discussion
and should never have been
brought up in the first half hour.
Rescinding of Mullen’s motion
was discussed but no action was
taken. It was decided that anoth
er meeting should be called to
clarify various points in question
and that Cease’s assistance should
be asked.
Kilcher was authorized to con
tact Cease by telephone, which he
did during a recess in the meet
ing, to learn if Cease could ar
range his schedule to include this
special meeting. The Agency
head called Dr. J. B. Deisher of
Seward, Borough Group chair
man. on Monday saying he would
be available if the meeting could
be set for Sunday. This has been
done.
Cease was in the Peninsula on
April 5-6 for four separate hear
ings regarding proposed incor
poration of a Homer-Ninilchik
borough, for which petitions al
ready have been submitted. He
is expected to be able to clear up
several problems confronting the
local group.
.May Seek Extension
One of the questions to be ask
ed is if an extension of time may
be allowed beyond the May 15
deadline set for presentation of a
borough petition, if the group
should desire to rescind the man
datory incorporation motion and
should decide to incorporate by
local option.
The brief time before the May
15 deadline was thought by many
to be insufficient for properly
preparing a petition.
Mullen expressed an opinion
that if the state makes the man
datory move for incorporation of
the area, the group “can clear the
deck and give more time to pre
paring for the borough . . . can
get the baloney out of the way
. . . make a major effort to be
ready tor assuming borough re
sponsibilities on Jan. 1, 1964 in
stead of fiddling away time and
energy in working up a petition.”
Kilcher warned that under lo
cal option the area would have a
say in boundaries of the pro

posed borough but that “if we
wait and let the state do it, we
may get only what’s left.”
Rep. Charles “Chuck’’ Cole, Jr.,
Seward, said he felt a big borough
including Election Districts 9 and
10 et>uld survive but did not feel
smaller boroughs could carry out
their responsibilities. He added
that “While HB No. 90, the bor
ough bill, is not the best bill in
the world, it represents much
study and work. Eighteen amend
ments were made in one day whip
ping it into shape.”
Peisher, group chairman, went
on record as favoring that the
proposed borough be incorporated
as a first class borough, and not
as second class, in order to in
sure more flexibility.
