City council will meet tonight to move forward with revamping the Bobby Storrs Small Boat Harbor. And they’ll hear the latest on $72 million worth of ongoing capital projects.

Council will vote on $4.4 million dollar contract with Turnagain Marine Construction to replace the C float at Bobby Storrs. That was the lowest bid for the project, though it’s still about $600,000 higher than the city engineer’s estimate.

Unalaska will have a seat at the table in helping Bill Walker get ready for the governor’s office.

Mayor Shirley Marquardt will head up Walker’s transition subcommittee on infrastructure. And city manager Chris Hladick is part of the subcommittee on Arctic policy. They’re volunteer positions, leading up to Walker’s inauguration Dec. 1.

In Tuesday's election, Alaskan voters will decide whether the state should regulate marijuana like alcohol. It's measure two on the ballot. 

Unalaska’s city council made a rare move in October when they passed a resolution urging residents to vote against that proposal. 

But some locals took issue with that decision.

As KUCB's Annie Ropeik reports, they feel their city government isn’t speaking for them.

Unalaska’s mayor and city councilors say they don’t want to see marijuana legalized in Alaska. That's ballot measure two in next week's general election.

At their meeting Tuesday, the council made that opposition official. They passed a resolution urging Unalaskans to vote against legalization -- over one councilor’s objections.

Next week, Alaskans will vote on whether to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the state. The passage of ballot measure 2 would mean a major adjustment for local governments and police -- and in Unalaska, they think it’s a step in the wrong direction.

City council will vote on a resolution declaring their opposition to the ballot measure at their regular meeting tonight. It was handed to them by Unalaska police. According to Sgt. Bill Simms, legalizing the drug "wouldn't work" here:

Election Day is turning into election month for voters in Adak, as they prepare for a local runoff.

After two years on the job, Unalaska’s fire chief is stepping down.

Abner Hoage will leave next month to lead the fire department in Ketchikan. KRBD reports that the Ketchikan city council approved the hire on Thursday. 

While their vote for Hoage was unanimous, the chief says he’s had a much harder time deciding to leave Unalaska.

Yudelka Leclere has officially won a seat on Unalaska’s city council, with 52 percent of the vote.

As KUCB’s Annie Ropeik reports, she’s unseated a veteran incumbent -- and left him with some unfinished business.

When the city’s canvass committee counted the final votes from the election Friday morning, not too many people came out to watch. There was just Zoya Johnson, who ran unopposed to keep her city council seat -- and Leclere, who was waiting for confirmation that she’d beaten a four-term incumbent councilor.

There’s no winner yet in Unalaska’s contested city council race.

Preliminary results have Yudelka Leclere with 212 votes, and incumbent Dennis Robinson with 190.

Leclere was at the polls Tuesday night to hear election workers read off those numbers. But she said she didn’t want to comment on the race until the votes are recounted on Friday.

Reached by phone on Wednesday, Robinson said the preliminary results came as a surprise.
