Council to discuss future of Carl E. Moses small boat harbor


Tuesday, April 26 2011
Unalaska, AK – City council will be meeting to discuss the future operations of the Carl E. Moses small boat harbor.
The work session will open with discussion of the council's goals for the coming fiscal year, along with the status of the ports budget, which is expected to see a shortfall.
Council will then hear three presentations on the Carl E. Moses small boat harbor. The first concerns a resolution that would put into place best management practices for ports. This resolution will be considered later during the new business portion of the meeting. The second presentation will focus on the harbor's operation plan, and the third will look at its oil spill response plan.
Council will also discuss a resolution that would allow the city to enter into a contract for the installation of a third engine at the powerhouse.
The work session will wrap up with a presentation on the state redistricting plan. Members of the redistricting board are in Unalaska today, and will be talking to community members starting at 1pm at city hall.
There are two items on the consent agenda. One resolution would confirm Karie Wilson to the PCR advisory committee, and the other would eliminate PILT - or payment in lieu of taxes - from the enterprise funds to the general fund.
In the new business portion of the meeting, council will again review the ports best practices resolution and the powerhouse engine resolution. Council will also consider a resolution that would set the funding level for the Unalaska City School District. The proposed amount is just over $4 million. Lastly, council will consider a resolution that would support state redistricting.
City council will wrap up in executive session for an update on matters related to the United States Department of Justice.
