Manager Carlson said this was required to participate in
the Shared Fisheries Business Tax Program. He felt this
program definitely fell within the Legislation's intent.
In response to Assemblymember Stevens, Manager Carlson
said last year the City of Kodiak received $600,184 and
the Borough received $907,428 in standard raw fish tax.
Assemblymember Heinrichs said unanimous adoption was
required of the participants in order for the resolution
to become effective.
Manager Carlson added that if a municipality chose not to
adopt this formula, the process would require the long
form which would reduce funding to smaller communities.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER COMMENTS
Assemblymember Razo encouraged the Assembly and School
Board to discuss vocational education planning and
suggested forming a joint committee to begin the process.
Assemblymember Abell would not support funding the United
Fishermen of Alaska and MCA. He wanted to see more people
come forward and not just the leadership of the groups.
Assemblymember Stevens provided an update on the
distribution of the mitigation fund. He commended Central
Gulf Sub - Region representatives Julie Bonney and Jay
Stenson, City Manager Linda Freed, Borough Manager Pat
Carlson, and Jerome Selby, as well as Board members
Deborah King and Mary Monroe for their contributions.
Assemblymember Branson encouraged residents to attend the
Financial Future of Alaska town meeting sponsored by
Senator Alan Austerman and Representative Gary Stevens.
Assemblymember Bonney provided an update on open fishing
seasons and their importance to the community. He agreed
with Assemblymember Abell's comment and added that he felt
the fishing industry would fail if the fishing groups
could not put aside their differences.
Assemblymember Heinrichs was pleased to see early
discussion on the budget and the Assembly's goals and
objectives. He thanked the police department for the
radar speed display devices that would help protect
crossing guards and students.

work session on Thursday, October 11 at 7:30 pm in the
Borough conference room; a joint Assembly /City Council
