MEMBERSHIP RESOLUTION FY19-01 DRAFT
A RESOLUTION BY THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA MUNICIPAL CONFERENCE (SWAMC) MEMBERSHIP
SUPPORTING THE DIRECTION AND MISSION OF THE ALASKA MARINE HIGHWAY REFORM PROJECT TO
RECREATE THE FERRY SYSTEM TO PROVIDE VITAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICE TO COASTAL ALASKA
COMMUNITIES
WHEREAS, the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) has been providing essential transportation to
Alaska’s coastal communities since 1963; and
WHEREAS, the AMHS serves 33 Alaskan communities stretching from Metlakatla to Unalaska, including
service to Kodiak Island; and
WHEREAS, the AMHS is vital for Southwest Alaskan communities that rely on the ferry to support fishing,
fish processing and other maritime related businesses and improve the quality of life for area residents;
and
WHEREAS, the AMHS has already sustained significant funding reductions that have reduced service
throughout the system; and
WHEREAS, further reductions in the AMHS will harm tourism, commerce, economic development, and
quality of life for nearly 100,000 Alaskans; and
WHEREAS, the Southeast Conference entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in 2016 with the
State of Alaska to lead an Alaska Marine Highway Reform Project (AMHRP) to maintain or even reduce
State of Alaska funding support while continuing vital transportation services to many user groups and
industries; and
WHEREAS, SWAMC has provided financial and oversight support for the AMHRP; and
WHEREAS, the House Transportation Committee introduced HB 414 in 2018 to organize the AMHS as a
public corporation, reflecting a preliminary recommendation of the AMHRP, and similar legislation is
expected to be introduced in the Legislature this year.
NOW BE IT RESOLVED that the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference Membership supports the AMHRP
mission to produce recommendations to recreate the AMHS to operate more efficiently and effectively
with existing or even reduced levels of State support while maintaining its present level of service.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any newly formed governing board for the AMHS include at least one
representative from the Southwest Alaska region.

MEMBERSHIP RESOLUTION FY19-02 DRAFT
A RESOLUTION BY THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA MUNICIPAL CONFERENCE (SWAMC) MEMBERSHIP
REQUESTING THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR DUNLEAVY NOT TO IMPOSE ANY FURTHER
CUTS TO THE ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FISH & GAME (ADF&G) BUDGET AND PARTICULARLY TO THE
DIVISION OF COMMERCIAL FISHERIES BUDGET AND THAT ANY TAX REVENUE GENERATED FROM NEW OR
INCREASED STATE TAXES ON THE COMMERCIAL SEAFOOD INDUSTRY BE USED TO FILL THE FUNDING GAP
FOR ADF&G AND PAY FOR CONTINUING EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF ALASKA’S FISHERIES
WHEREAS, subsistence, sport and commercial harvests of Alaska’s fish and game resources are vital to the
social, cultural and economic health of the State of Alaska; and
WHEREAS, the Alaska seafood industry is the second largest contributor to Alaska’s economy; and
WHEREAS, the Alaska seafood industry directly provides over 60,000 direct jobs and thousands more
indirectly, making it the largest private-sector employer in the State; and
WHEREAS, Alaska’s commercial seafood industry directly pays over $250 million annually in taxes and fees
which exceeds current State commercial fisheries management spending; and
WHEREAS, Alaska’s seafood industry pays business and landing taxes that directly benefit over 65
communities and boroughs in Alaska and reduces community dependence on State funds; and
WHEREAS, the seafood industry relies on strong State commercial fishery research and management
programs in order to provide that economic benefit; and
WHEREAS, the Commercial Fisheries Division budget has been reduced significantly the past four years,
which includes offsets from CFEC funding and the unrestricted general fund has been reduced by 30%; and
WHEREAS, when the Division of Commercial Fisheries budget is reduced, the seafood industry loses
research and resource management programs that are necessary to allow for harvest opportunities; and
WHEREAS, reduced harvest opportunities in any fishery result in fewer jobs, less income and decreased tax
revenue for the State of Alaska and coastal communities
