Unalaska, AK – City council will be meeting tonight to consider an amendment to the comprehensive plan and changes to the budget.

The work session will open with updates on the state legislative session and the status of the wellness program. There will also be a presentation on Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement #54.

There are two items on the consent agenda. One resolution would allow the City of Unalaska to sell surplus personal property, including office supplies, electronics, and gym equipment. The surplus sale would be scheduled for April 9. Council will also consider a resolution that would confirm the appointment of Chris Spengler to the city's planning commission. Spengler has been a resident of Unalaska for 15 years, and works as an engineer for Westward.

Council will also address four items of new business. First, council will discuss a resolution that would amend Comprehensive Plan 2020 to include language concerning junk vehicles. The language concerns a $100 vehicle tax that will be levied to help cover the cost of removing junk vehicles from the island. Then, council will consider a resolution that would classify fund balances in both the general fund and the 1% sales taxes special revenue fund. An ordinance that would create a budget amendment for housekeeping on a number of capital projects - including the upgrade of sewer lift station panels - will also be addressed. No new funding is being requested.

City council will wrap up in executive session for an update on recent actions by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The meeting will convene at 7pm in the city hall council chambers, and it is expected to last an hour and a half.
