Ports and Harbors board recommends full funding for state harbor facility grant program
Summary
The advisory board voted unanimously to forward a resolution asking the borough assembly to support full funding for the State of Alaska Municipal Harbor Facility Grant Program in the FY26 capital budget.
The Ports and Harbors Advisory Board voted 4‑0 Jan. 14 to recommend that the borough assembly support full funding for the State of Alaska Municipal Harbor Facility Grant Program in the fiscal‑year 2026 capital budget.
The resolution, described at the meeting as a routine annual measure, was presented after the port director noted the municipality had received obligating documents for a related grant. No opposition was voiced; the roll call recorded four yes votes and the motion passed.
Port Director Jennings told the board the request mirrors annual appeals from the Alaska Association of Harbormasters and Port Administrators and asked members to forward the recommendation to the assembly for final action.
The advisory board’s recommendation does not itself appropriate funds; it directs the borough assembly to consider the resolution on the assembly agenda.
