CONSIDERATION OF MATTERS IN THE CALL FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING
A. Confirmation of the Mayoral Recommendation to the Prince William Sound Regional
Citizens' Advisory Council - Kodiak Village Mayors Association Seat.
LEDOUX moved to confirm the Mayoral recommendations of Ms. Melissa Berns to the Prince
William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council Kodiak Village Mayor's Association seat and
Mr. Mike Carlson to serve as the alternate for two-year terms to expire May 2017.
The Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) requested that the
Borough Mayor provide a recommendation of a representative to the Kodiak Village Mayor's
Association (KVMA) prior to the PWSRCAC's annual meeting of May 7, 2015. This individual
could potentially have the opportunity to influence decisions having profound implications for oil
transportation safety in Alaska, and for the state's oil spill prevention and response capabilities.
PWSRCAC requires the Kodiak Village Communities to have an active seat on the Council in
order to participate. The current seat has lacked participation since May 2013 and PWSRCAC
has advised the Borough Mayor that the KVMA seat is in jeopardy of being removed due to its
inactivity. Solicitation went out to the rural communities and Rural Leadership Forum. Letters of
interest were received from the following by the deadline of Friday, April 17, 2015: Melissa
Berns and Mike Carlson.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Griffin, LeDoux, Lynch, Peterson,
Rohrer, and Skinner.
