CALL TO ORDER Presiding Officer Jerry Mueller called the public hearing to order at 3:00 pm.

ROLL CALL Assembly members present were: Sid Michaels, Jim Caswell, Teresa Hall, Jerry Mueller, Teresa Usibelli, Jim Payne, Gerald Pollock, and Mayor Gonzales. Absent assembly members included Carol Shields and Dave Talerico.

Mayor Gonzales said he wanted to be sure the Assembly was aware that the State has approved the City of Anderson’s population request change for State funding purposes. According to the letter, the City of Anderson has a population of 513, which revises the Borough population, in this instance, to 2,039.

1.) 1 Ordinance 01-10, version B, an ordinance amending Denali Borough Charter, Article XI, Section 11.01, regarding a sales tax.

No comments.

2.) Ordinance 01-13, Version A, an ordinance establishing a 2% general sales tax within the Denali Borough. (Introduced by Assembly member Teresa Hall)

Charlie Loeb, Healy resident, said each proposed tax ordinance is becoming more and more like a general sales tax. He said he would like to encourage the Assembly to consider providing more services if this type of tax is implemented. He said if all goods and services are taxed in the Borough, then he feels that would have a depressing effect on our economy and any future development.

3.) Ordinance 01-14, Version A, an ordinance adding Title III, Chapter 22A, Titled Excursion Tax to the Denali Borough Code of Ordinances. (Introduced by Assembly member Scott Stowell)

No comments.

No comments.
