VISITOR COMMENTS Scott Arndt Dora Cross Patricia Valerio L 2 r L 12. BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTS C. Walton — Not concerned about Chief Finlayson going in front of the Assembly, I'm sure he will have his ducks in a row. I would be disappointed if the Assembly really doesn't approve because we are already going that way as a society. City and Borough have talked about it for years. We need to go for it give the electric vehicles a shot, be the first to take that step. M. Dolph — Really encouraged about this year's budget — think it will work well. And very excited about the electric vehicle. J. Parker — Agree with Scott partially. Living on Kodiak especially, we don't have any dealerships here, and that's the nature of living here. We would have to fly people down. R. Carstens — I have been watching all the commercials and I have family down south that have electric vehicles of their own. We have the infrastructure and the low millage. I appreciate that Chief Finlayson is all in on this idea. 13. NEXT MEETING SCHEDULE — April 51h at 6:OOpm. 14.
