FORMAL PRESENTATIONS WITH PRIOR NOTICE UPON SUBJECTS NOT ON THE MEETING AGENDA (10 Minutes)

Borough Sales Tax Collection - B. Waters



Ms. Waters appeared before the Assembly as a representative of Dean's Peninsula Printing, which recently underwent an audit to determine if there were any problems with the method of collection and payment of sales taxes. Ms. Waters referred to Section 5.18.250 of the Borough Sales Tax Code which states that anytime a seller determines incorrectly that a transaction is exempt, the seller is liable for the taxes due. Dean's Peninsula Printing feels the liability for taxes should not be placed on the collector and asked that somehow this liability be placed upon those who generate the tax.



PUBLIC COMMENTS AND PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS (5 Minutes)



Dave Carey, Soldotna. Mr. Carey appeared before the Assembly to appeal the fee he is being charged for information Mr. Carey requested regarding reimbursement received by ten members of the current Borough Assembly. Mr. Carey stated that he asked for information on authorized expenditures for meetings, car allowances, mileage allowances, per diem for travel, and other expenses approved by the Assembly President. In defense of his request to reduce the charges, Mr. Carey stated that he was not being given the exact information he had requested. Mr. Carey stated he had given a letter to the clerk's office one week ago, in which he had itemized the information he wanted to receive. As a compromise, Mr. Carey changed his request for information from seven years of records to four years, and expressed the feeling that he should not have to pay for the information.



Assemblymember Brown stated that rather than Mr. Carey asking for the information, at this time he himself would ask for the information with the stipulation that it not be only for ten assemblymembers, but rather for all. Mr. Brown also asked that an annual report be developed that would be available to the public each year. Mr. Brown went on to say that those assemblymembers who have to travel long distances such as Seward or Homer have more travel expense and this should be taken into consideration.



Mayor Gilman explained the various ways expenses can be reimbursed, such as when an assemblymember pays by credit card versus using purchase orders. He noted that when a purchase order is used, no money goes to the individual; however, when a credit card is used that reimbursement shows up on the person's expense report. The Mayor went on to emphasize the importance of presenting the information so that there is no room for a wrong interpretation, and that this does take more time to accomplish. He said it is not a simple request. Mayor Gilman asked Mr. Brown to repeat exactly what he was requesting.



Assemblymember Brown said he would limit his request to information on current assemblymembers for the past four years.



Assemblymember Hodgins suggested a travel policy be developed. President Skogstad read the Assembly's existing travel policy from the Assembly Manual. President Skogstad went on to say that the Assembly Manual will be reviewed and updated by the Policies and Procedures Committee.



Assemblymember Superman asked for information regarding hotels and other travel expenses for the past four years in addition to the information Mr. Brown requested.



Barbara Waters, Kenai, thanked the administration for their help. She noted their intent in bringing a presentation before the Assembly was to try to get something done to help businesses facilitate sales tax collection.



MAYOR'S REPORT

Mayor Gilman informed the Assembly that a request has been made by property owners adjacent to the Cook's Tesoro property for the reconvening of the Board of Equalization prior to the 15th of August if possible. Mayor Gilman said he will present the request in writing for the next assembly packet.



Mr. Wayne Haerer, Director of Assessing, stated that a Board of Equalization hearing will also need to be scheduled subsequent to the publication of the Supplemental Roll.



OTHER BUSINESS - None



ASSEMBLY AND MAYOR'S COMMENTS

Assemblymember Sewall reported that Seward is currently participating in a student exchange program with Japan.

Mr. Nash also stated that Ordinance 91-20, which required 11 votes to reconsider, received 10 yes votes for reconsideration. He went on to note that the ordinance had been reconsidered.



Assemblymember Little attended the Alaska Legislative Steering Committee meeting in Valdez and will submit a report to the Assembly.



Assemblymember Skogstad apologized to the Assembly for failing to announce the plans for the trip to Russia. Mayor Gilman said Assemblymember O'Connell extended his visit by two days to assist in the editing of a videotape on the journey. Mayor Gilman will present a full report to the Assembly.
