Resolutions for Public Hearing:

Resolution No. 2006-02

     A Resolution in support of a grant application by the City of Gustavus Disposal and Recycling Center to provide funding

Discussion on the content and wording of the opening paragraph of the resolution took place.  Concerns over the use of the proposed equipment to be purchased under the grant were voiced by the council.  Concerns specifically over the use of heavy shears to cut propane cylinders in half to facilitate shipping was the council’s main concern.  Paul Berry explained that the shears have other uses besides cutting the cylinders and stated that the DRC wanted to find the safest method of disposing of the cylinders.  The shears could be used for breaking down scrap metal from upcoming community demolition projects and from general waste.

Wayne Howell made a motion to adopt the Resolution as written.  Motion Passed 6/0.

Amendment to Resolution 2005-13

          Ken Klawunder has requested that for clarification purposes this resolution be changed to include the words “Government Lot 6” whenever the word “Parcel #3” is mentioned, i.e. Parcel 3, Government Lot 6.  This comes about due to the fact that the MFC has been working on a request to enlarge the area covered by the Land Use Permit for the Boat Harbor Area as parcel # 2, but the state of Alaska occasionally uses the words Government Lot 6.

Ken made a motion to accept the changes to the resolution.  Resolution passed 6/0.

Unfinished Business

Ø      Examination of RFQ for Snow Removal

Sandi made a recommendation that the council adopt the RFQ for Snow removal but wait to make a decision on the Road Maintainance RFQ.  Sandi mentioned that “does not apply to other goods and services” be taken out because it was a typo.

Sandi made a motion to accept the RFQ as written.  Motion passed 6/0.

Ø      Examination of the RFQ for Road Maintenance

Road Maintenance RFQ will be discussed further before adoption.

Comments on the Road Maintainance RFQ to the City Council by the Gustavus Road Committee followed.
