COMMENTS
Assemblymember Razo commended the excellent contributions
of Engineering and Facilities Director Bud Cassidy to the
Borough and School District. It was notable to see six
out of the seven projects in progress.
Assemblymember Abell was glad the Borough had the ability
to fund non - profits. He researched the hiring of the
Football League coach and found that the School District
would not pay his wages so the League would bear the cost.
Assemblymember Turner congratulated Martin Lydick. She
appreciated the Hope Community Resources staff and the
Kodiak Baptist Mission director who expressed appreciation
for non - profit funding. She said the Kodiak Football
League would work diligently to raise funds to support
their programs.
Assemblymember Stevens congratulated Martin Lydick and
thanked Diane Deshazo for her willingness to serve on the
Personnel Advisory Board.
Assemblymember Bonney said it was easy for the Assembly to
take credit; however, without the efforts of Manager
Carlson, accomplishing projects would be difficult.
Assemblymember Branson congratulated Martin Lydick. She
was glad to see the ongoing school improvements. She
reported that KATS provided 13,000 rides this year to
different non - profit organizations in Kodiak.
Mayor LeDoux announced that the Assembly would meet in a
work session Thursday, July 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the Borough
conference room and a regular meeting Thursday, August 1
at 7:30 p.m. in the Assembly chambers.

There being no further business to come before the
