Assembly Tackles Conflicts and Wishlists Tonight

Brianna Gibbs/KMXT
The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly will hold a regular meeting tonight (Thursday) and introduce an ordinance that aims to improve transparency on borough contracts. The ordinance will require the borough manager to notify the assembly about certain contracts that may pose a conflict of interest between the borough and assembly members or their immediate family. This will be a first reading of the ordinance and a public hearing will be held at the assembly’s next regular meeting on January 17.
Also on tonight’s agenda is approval of the communities of Kodiak capitol improvement projects list for the 2013 legislative session. This is the list of prioritized projects in the villages around Kodiak that are seeking state funding during the upcoming session. The borough will submit a separate list for road system projects in the near future.
Tonight’s meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. in the borough assembly chambers and will be broadcast live on KMXT.
