ASSEMBLYMEMBER COMMENTS ASSEMBLYMEMBER
COMMENTS
Assemblymember Razo was disappointed to see the Stratman/
Leisnoi discussion continue in the local newspaper as a
newspaper war would not facilitate a resolution. He hoped
for a good start for new year. He saw Kodiak residents as
diverse people and respect was important.
Assemblymember Abell wanted to see the Borough dispose of
the land and suggested the P &Z Commission review large
parcels. He wished everyone a happy new year.
Assemblymember Turner wished everyone a happy, safe, and
prosperous new year. She was glad to see people moving to
Kodiak and expected further development. She encouraged
Borough, City, and Village residents to volunteer.
Assemblymember Stevens agreed with concerns about
emergency services in areas outside service areas and the
need for volunteers. He said the coordinated effort of
Borough staff and residents was needed to enforce and
prosecute those who dispose of garbage improperly. He
wished everyone a happy new year.
Assemblymember Branson thought to revisit the littering
ordinance to ensure enforcement. She thanked those who
volunteered and wished everyone a happy new year.
Deputy Mayor Heinrichs said the reception that celebrates
the role of volunteers and their contributions to the
community was in the planning pocess.
He announced that the Assembly would meet in a work
session on Thursday, January 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Borough conference room; a joint Assembly /City Council
work session on Tuesday, January 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Borough conference room; and a regular meeting on
Thursday, January 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the assembly
chambers. Borough offices would be closed on Monday,
January 21 in observance of Martin Luther King's Day. He
invited the public to join him for cake to celebrate
