Mayor Selby explained that the resolution was initiated by the Kodiak Salmon Work Group in support of the effort to oppose Cook Inlet By -catch Proposal No. 528. He gave a synopsis of the economic impact of the salmon industry on Kodiak in that it was an integral part of the community because it provided employment. He elaborated that 611 small businesses and 374 salmon permit holders, 81 of which reside in villages, were connected to the fishery. He affirmed that the salmon fishery was clean, compared to deep - water fisheries, because there was no by- catch.

MILLIGAN, moved to adopt seconded by GOULD Resolution No. 93 -07C. Mayor Selby stated that waiving the fee for a three - month period encouraged the community to dispose of junk vehicles and maximized the opportunity to crush and move the vehicles off - Island. He said the overall plan was to remove the vehicles in an efficient manner and clean -up the community. At questions raised by Assemblymember Milligan, Mayor Selby clarified that the Borough's junk vehicle program provided towing at no charge. He announced that the public could contact Bob Scholze in the Community Development Department regarding towing and that information would be advertised in the Borough newspage. In response to Assemblymember Burt, Mayor Selby explained that it was appropriate to place scrap metal items in vehicles prior to disposal. He added that although the program was geared to junk vehicle disposal, people with large scrap metal items, such as quonset huts, should contact Mr. Scholze.
