City Council
Meeting Notes
w
j The City Council received a
proposed ordinance relating to
snow removal on Front Street at
its regular meeting Monday night.
The ordinance would require all
property owners along Front
Street to keep their sidewalks
reasonably free of snow — or that
the city will perform the snow
removal and assess the cost to
the property owner. The matter
was referred to the Ordinance
Committee.
A request was received from
President George Bayer of the
School Board that the city amend
its Ordinance No. 366, which
has to do with Tobacco Tax funds
used for school purposes. He
asked specifically that the law
be changed so that the School
Board can spend Tobacco Tax
funds in excess of moneys dedi
cated to paying the principle and
interest on the school bonds. The
matter was referred to the Ordi
nance Committee.
A proposed amendment to city
ordinance was read providing a
filing fee of $10 for all munici
pal and school board offices. It
was referred to the Ordinance
Committee.
The council acted to dispose of
the Eli Mulch property in prepa
ration for enlarging the school
playground. The four houses were
ordered advertised for sale,
separately or as a group, bids re
turnable on Feb. 27, and the
buildings to be removed in 90
days from bid acceptance. Two
tenants were given notice to move.
In other action: The Council
paid the interest on the grade
school bonds amounting to $1,900;
approved the applications for
gaming permits of the Arctic
Club and St. Joseph’s Catholic
Church; voted a $100 member
ship in the NWA Chamber of
Commerce; approved an addition
al patrolman, Larry Minix, start
ing Jan. 1, and heard a request
for a turnaround from Tommy
Tungwenuk at Warren Place, be
tween 4th and King Place.
Don Hoover reported that the
Chamber of Commerce had pre
pared a brochure in support of
establishing a vocational school
at Nome and requested Council
approval of same.
Councilman Perkins called for
positive action on the part of the
City Council to provide a water
and sewage system for the city.
The City Clerk was instructed to
send out a tracer on petitions
the city had made to the Sur
geon General of the United States
about a year ago. The petitions
had been addressed to the Dept,
of Health in Juneau to be for
warded by Gov. Egan to the Sur
geon General.
At the time it was felt Nome
could secure a water and sewage
system through federal aid to
predominantly native areas, but
no word has been returned.
PLAN NEW BUILDING FRONT
FOR THE BREAKERS BAR
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Brechan,
owners of the Breakers Bar which

They are leaving John Reader as

Mrs. Brechan stated that when
spring comes a modern new front
will be put on the building which
will be unusual and attractive.
