The Kodiak Borough Assembly will meet tonight for a regular meeting and hold a public hearing on an ordinance aimed to make borough operations more transparent. The ordinance will require the borough manager to notify the assembly about any contract that may pose a conflict of interest between an assembly member and the borough. The manager must also notify the assembly member about potential a contracts with assembly member’s immediate family. The motion was introduced during the January 3 regular meeting and sparked a heated dialogue at the meeting’s end when Assemblyman Mel Stephens spoke at length about a prior contract between the borough and Assemblywoman Chris Lynch. The ordinance on the table for tonight’s meeting addresses borough code and not a specific contract.
Also on the agenda tonight is approval of the contract between the borough and Acting Manager Bud Cassidy. Cassidy has been acting as borough manager since June and recently agreed to take the position on permanently.
The assembly will also vote to adopt a revised state legislative capitol improvement projects priority list for the 2013 legislative session. Last month the assembly met with Representative Alan Austerman and Senator Gary Stevens to review its previous project list. The Kodiak legislators didn’t shy away from pointing out flaws in a number of projects on the list and suggested the assembly take a closer look before submitting it to the legislature. The assembly did just that and will vote to accept the shorter, revised list.
Tonight’s meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. in the borough assembly chambers and will be broadcast live on KMXT.

Flat-screen TVs, firearms, and two motorcycles were among the items reported stolen after a series of break-ins at Noodles Restaurant on Mill Bay Road early Monday morning.
The Kodiak Police Department says a burglar also swiped golf clubs and alcohol from the restaurant after forcing his way in. Afterwards, a trailer parked behind the restaurant was broken in to and two red Honda motocross bikes were stolen. Police say they followed tire tracks to Larch Street before they disappeared.
Also taken from the shed were two storage trunks containing tools and an assortment of firearms. The estimated value of the stolen items is believed to exceed $10,000.
A full-size, dark-colored pickup with a loud muffler was spotted at the scene about the time of the burglary. Crime Stoppers is offering $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this crime.

Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak has temporarily deployed three helicopters to the Bering Sea for the winter crab season. Two MH-60 Jayhawks and their crews arrived in St. Paul on Sunday, and an MH-65 Dolphin aboard the Kodiak-based cutter Munro will also be patrolling the area.
With the increased number of vessels operating in the region during crab seasons, the Coast Guard regularly deploys crews to St. Paul to provide a more rapid response should an emergency arise. The forward operating location in St. Paul became fully staffed and operational Tuesday. Winter is the busiest time of year for fishing activity in the Bering Sea during some of the worst weather conditions.
Seventeenth District Chief of Response Captain Gregory Sanial says the forward-staging of helicopters significantly decreases the response time to emergencies and has been successful in saving lives.
If not forward-deployed, the helicopters would have to fly from Air Station Kodiak, hundreds of miles and six hours away.
