Unalaska, AK – The city council will host a special meeting focusing on the design, amenities, and funding of the Carl E. Moses Boat Harbor this Saturday starting at 10 am.
In early March the council voted to fund only the base bid for the new boat harbor and did not include funding for the drive down dock or the expansion of the C float, which would make room for larger boats. The additions would tack $4.6 million on to the $39 million price tag. The council will reconsider this decision during their Saturday meeting and vote again whether or not to fund the options, many of which have received community support.
They will also discuss different ways to fund the project, including bonding. Bonding would probably require an increase in property taxes. Other options include reallocating money from other parts of the budget and pulling money from the general fund. The council will also learn more about the ports enterprise fund.
The meeting will take place at 10 am on Saturday morning in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
