Unalaska, AK – The Unalaska City Council will meet tonight at 7 p.m. for its rescheduled regular meeting. The meeting was moved from Tuesday night because of concerns that council members and members of the public would still be out of town for Christmas.

The council will bring back for discussion a couple of issues concerning waste disposal in the community that have been addressed over the past few months. Up first will be the question of what to do about nets and metal in Unalaska's landfill. The moratorium imposed by the city on dumping these materials expires on January 1, and the city council still hasn't decided whether or how much to raise its rates for their disposal.

The council will also revisit the Qawalangin Tribe's proposal for a recycling program in Unalaska. The tribe answered the city's request for a proposal for the program in September, and was asked to bring back a more detailed proposal last month. That didn't happen because many of the shareholders of the Ounalashka Corporation were out of town on other business at the time, and the feasibility of the new program rests in part on what resources the corporation might be able to contribute.

Proposals to budget for the recycling program, as well as a bathroom project for the small boat harbor, will also receive a second reading at the meeting, which will be at 7 p.m. at the council's chambers in City Hall.
