Committee confirms Homer High School entrance is a bond project; asphalt program noted
Summary
Committee members asked whether agenda items relate to a previously passed bond. Staff confirmed the Homer High School entrance—listed at $1,600,000—is a bond-funded project and described an ongoing borough asphalt program; other items were characterized as maintenance projects.
At the Kenai Peninsula Borough Policies and Procedures Committee meeting, members questioned whether several agenda items were funded through the borough bond program passed earlier. Committee discussion confirmed that the Homer High School entrance project, listed at $1,600,000, is a bond-funded project.
"That one is definitely a bond project," said the Mayor (unnamed) when asked about the Homer High School entrance cost. The mayor also said he was uncertain whether an item labeled "parking maintenance" was a maintenance project and that most of the other items on the list appeared to be maintenance projects.
Committee members and staff also noted the borough operates an ongoing asphalt program. "We have an asphalt program that is an ongoing thing," the Mayor said, adding that staff are trying to get high-priority bond projects completed.
No formal action or vote on the bond projects is recorded in the transcript; the discussion took place during the committee's initial questions and before the public hearing portion of the agenda. Committee remarks indicated the Homer High School entrance had been rated a high priority on the bond list and staff are working to deliver projects.
The committee adjourned shortly after moving to the public-hearing portion of the agenda.
