AN ORDINANCE EXEMPTING MUNICIPAL OFFICERS OF THE KODIAK
ISLAND BOROUGH FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 39.50.145 OF THE
ALASKA STATUTES RELATING TO DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS AND CONFLICTS
OF INTEREST.
WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of Alaska has adopted
chapter 25 of the Session Laws of 1975, containing extensive
provisions relating to the disclosure and reporting of financial
and business interests of public officials, and prohibiting
various types of conflicts of interest; and,
WHEREAS, the provisions of that act are applicable to
municipal officers of the Kodiak Island Borough unless a majority
of the voters voting on the question at a general election approve
an ordinance exempting its municipal officers from the
requirements of the state provisions; and,
WHEREAS, the disclosure requirements of the state conflicts
of interest act impose extensive record keeping with regard to
minor transactions and are otherwise unduly burdensome; and,
WHEREAS, the disclosure requirements of state law have
precipitated numerous resignations by elected and appointed state
officials subject to its provisions and would serve to discourage
qualified persons from seeking municipal office within the Kodiak
Island Borough; and,
WHEREAS, adequate provisions relating to disclosure of
business and financial interests and conflicts of interest by
municipal officers may be enacted by local ordinance,
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the counsel of the Kodiak
