VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
Old Business: Continue discussion about assembly composition and districts
Varying language in other Borough Codes makes comparison confusing. Can our villages,
surrounding the island, be considered "contiguous" as required? Perhaps we should drop the
idea of districts due to population density in and around Kodiak City. How often does
City/Borough discuss issues that are pertinent to village communities? Also discussed idea of
ex-officio members, a village advisory board, and 1 seat designated for village rep with the
remainder at large. Need to ask LBC and legal for advice.
Old Business: Review previous discussions re: potential consolidated budget:
Enterprise Funds
Reviewed proposed consolidated Enterprise Funds, with previous revenue and
expenditures; concerns focused on capital needs.
Old Business: road system services using FY20 budget amounts
Reviewed funds proposed to be provided along the road system with non-areawide
taxes. Questions about maintaining seasonal sales tax rates as in Juneau,
Anchorage, etc.; was City property tax originally instituted to provide for road
maintenance?
MEMBERS CLOSING COMMENTS
For upcoming meetings about public safety, can police services be offered only in limited area
of the proposed borough?
City is unable to provide FY21 budget in Excel format
