CITIZENS' COMMENTS
Tom Ouick phoned to ask the Assembly to find a solution on
raw fish tax distribution.
Manager Carlson explained the formulas used in allocating
Raw Fish Tax.
Assemblymember Heinrichs said he attended the 2001 Mayors
Conference when the formula was adopted and he felt the
intent of the legislation was to provide the most funds to
communities with fisheries impact.
Assemblymember Bonney felt the City of Kodiak Council
could have been more sensitive to village needs by
adopting what was agreed on during the mayor's conference.
Assemblymember Razo said the Council's decision would have
a substantial financial impact on every village on Kodiak.
He suggested asking Representative Stevens and Senator
Austerman to help accomplish the program's intent for the
communities.
Assemblymember Abell said the Council's decision was not
community- minded. He felt Borough residents outside the
City limits should have representation on the Council to
support a Borough -wide community effort.
Assemblymember Turner was disappointed that the Council
did not abide by the agreement. She felt all governments
on Kodiak Island should have sensitivity to each other's
budgets.
Mayor LeDoux was also disappointed with the outcome of the
Council's vote and concurred with Assemblymember comments.
Tom Quick phoned to thank the Assembly for being
sympathetic to the needs of the villages.
