the Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA).

Manager Jensen said KANA requested the resolution and
proposed to develop Community Strategic Plans for Akhiok,
Karluk, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Port Lions, and Ouzinkie.
Although this planning project fell outside the scope of
the Borough's established service level for area wide
planning, KANA should be encouraged to pursue this project
and coordinate with the community development department.
Assemblymember Razo felt this was a good opportunity for
KANA to pursue.
Assemblymember Stevens noted this resolution was an
outgrowth of a Funding Summit project with Koniag, the
Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, and KANA.
Assemblymember Turner felt the community needed to seek
ways to become involved in planning for the future.
