It’s been about nine months since the city’s first and only parks and recreation director, Ian Fulp, retired after more than 40 years in the position. During the city council meeting last night, Manager Aimee Kniazowski announced who the city’s second director will be.
Charlie Powers will transition into the role of director sometime in the coming months.
During last night’s meeting the council also heard from a handful of community members about the number of loiters downtown, and the condition of the area. The topic attracted a number of public comments during the council’s last regular meeting, and Jennie de la Fuente said she has seen improvements in the area since then.
Kniaziowski said Parks and Rec has given the area extra attention lately, and Mayor Pat Branson said she is also taking steps toward improving the downtown mall area.
The council also unanimously passed the introduction of the city’s budget. There will be a public hearing and a final vote on it during the council’s next meeting on June 10.

The Kodiak Arts Council will wrap up its performing arts season with an artist that didn’t have to travel far to get here. Juneau-based singer songwriter Marian Call wasn’t born and raised in Alaska, though she has spent the past 10 years in the last frontier, and has the songbook to prove it. KMXT’s Brianna Gibbs caught up with Call and learned more about her Alaska-inspired music.

Thursday at noon the 55th annual Kodiak Crab Festival kicked off, just in time for the lunch crowd. While the five day event boasts carnival rides, games and activities, many folks find themselves favoring the food above all else. This is the first year the event doesn’t feature ready-to-eat crab, but there are plenty of other food vendors to feed the famished festival attendees. KMXT’s Brianna Gibbs took her microphone to lunch and asked folks what was on the menu.

Coming up this week, things are starting to wind down in Togiak; more Kuskokwim fishermen are found guilty of king fishing during a closure, and fishing for zombies. This week’s Alaska Fisheries Report was made possible with the contributions of KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham, KYUK’s Angela Denning-Barnes in Bethel, and KUOW’s Ashley Ahern in Seattle.

If you tried to visit the Kodiak Key Bank sometime after noon yesterday, you may have been surprised to find that the doors were closed, and nobody was there. That’s because they were here, at KMXT. Yesterday was Neighbors Make a Difference Day, a national Key Bank holiday that sends employees from branches all around the United States into their communities for volunteer work. This year, Kodiak’s branch opted to see what nonprofit public radio was all about. KMXT’s Brianna Gibbs gave Kodiak branch manager Joyce Gregory a break from the arduous labor and asked her about the organizations day of service.
