COMMITTEE REPORTS
Assemblymember Hancock reported that the Solid Waste
Management Task Force continued to meet. She said
the number of issues to present to the Assembly were
reduced, but meetings would continue on other items
of concern. She said Peninsula Sanitation would make
a presentation at the March 28 work session.
Assemblymember Milligan reported on the Alaska
Municipal League Transportation Committee
teleconference where pre- income tax issues before the
legislature were discussed. He noted that bills to
allow municipalities to receive funding were of vital
interest. He said the bills in the Senate may not be
passed this session but laid the ground work for
future legislatures.
Assemblymember McFarland, Southwest Alaska Municipal
Conference Transportation Committee chair, apologized
to the community on the delay of the mustumena. He
said the delay would not affect the Crab Festival but
would affect the first Dutch Harbor trip and that
impacted logistics for herring fishing. He would
forward updates to the Assembly and Chamber of
Commerce as they became available.
Assemblymember Johnson contacted the Institute of
Cultural Affairs that organized the 1976 town
meeting. He proposed forming a committee as the
Institute planned seminars in Anchorage in June.
PUBLIC HEARING

MESSAGES FROM THE BOROUGH MAYOR
Mayor Selby congratulated Clerk Smith for Academy
recognition and the office of AAMC president.
While in Juneau, he heard indications that the fish
and game and capital budgets would be cut. He met
with legislators to discuss issues and to work to
maintain Kodiak capital budget projects.
He told of discussions to reduce job service
positions in Kodiak and administrative actions to
move the service to Anchorage and Juneau.
He reported strong support to put highway tax funds
in place as federal matching funds were not keeping
pace with wear and tear of Alaskan Highways.

Mayor Selby distributed the latest draft of the
Magnusen Act reauthorization that would be heard in
committee the next day. He reported that presently,
the Senate bill was more favorable than the House
bill. He noted that not everything in the bill would
make it through committee because of attempts to
reduce the language. He anticipated the Borough's
language on national standards to go through
committee without much challenge, as well as the
moratorium on adding new IFQs to the system.
He commended Senator Stevens and staff, and Trevor
McCabe, for their great work on the Magnusen Act.
He announced receipt of the $150,000 in settlement
funds that was comprised of the Alyeska settlement
and the Trans Alaska Pipeline Liability. He saidtthe
total received to date, $1.4 million, approximated
the amount the Borough lost in uncollected raw fish
tax during the summer of 1989.
He noted that Washington, D.C. lobbyist, Brad Gilman,
continued to work with the IFQ delegation on the
Magnusen Act.
