Unalaska, AK – City council met for a short meeting on Friday evening. In less than 45 minutes they discussed revenue projections for fiscal year 2010, authorized the city to issue the school bond, amended the FY09 budget and leased an area of tideland by Alaska Ship Supply for building a cold storage facility.

City Finance manager Tonya Miller explained that it's hard to predict revenue for the city because fish tax amounts vary so much from year to year. For fiscal year 2009 the budget and revenue were practically the same, but that was due to a number of large projects. City staff is projecting an increase in revenue for 2010 of about $2 million.
