motor vehicles.

did not favor criteria on fishing action in
communities and limited senate debate on the vote was
requested. He expected it to be adopted with the
national standards for fishing communities in the
senate bill, as it was in the house bill. He felt
the Magnuson Act was moving closer to adoption.
He read an update from Brad Gilman, federal lobbyist,
that outlined his work on the Magnuson Act, obtaining
additional grant funds for the City of Kodiak for
sewer, and the NACO PILT.
He reported that Senator Stevens incorporated monies
in the commerce budget for year -end funds to come to
the Near Island Research Facility (NIRF) at the end
of fiscal year 1997 as a precursor to lease approval.
Mayor Selby outlined the issues that Mr. Gilman was
tracking: the drinking water act; Coast Guard
reauthorization of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 to
remove liability from entities such as air taxis;
taking over subsistence management in Alaska; the
Endangered Species Act that was not expected to go
before Congress until January when a new Congress was
in place; coastal community standards; and fishery
issues impacts before the House.
Mayor Selby commended Mr. Gilman on his outstanding
work in tracking legislation of impact to Kodiak and
for his relationship with Senator Stevens' staff.
When Assemblymember Milligan asked if the Endangered
Species Act was similar to the Magnuson Act, Mayor
Selby responded affirmatively.
