City council to discuss energy rebates at delayed meeting

Tuesday, November 24 2009

Unalaska, AK – The city council will meet tomorrow night to discuss potentially renewing the energy rebate credit and the funding of the Carl E. Moses Boat Harbor. The meeting was moved from Tuesday night because of council travel. It will not include the second reading of the port tariff increase because two council members will be absent. During the work session the council will discuss the pros and cons of renewing the monthly, $60 energy credit received by each residential electric customer. It was put into place last year to help people with the high cost of fuel. No decision will be made on that issue.

The council will also review resolutions that need to be passed in order for the city to issue bonds for $5 million dollars for the new small boat harbor. Under a state program, the state government will reimburse the city 100 percent for these bonds. The money will go toward building the inner harbor and improving the uplands area. The meeting is expected to last about an hour and will start at 7 pm Wednesday in the city council chambers at city hall.
