Borough ordinance would use forestry revenues to reimburse personnel costs and replace equipment after Goldstream Creek fire
Summary
The Finance Committee reviewed an ordinance to appropriate forestry revenues to reimburse personnel costs incurred after the 2025 Goldstream Creek fire and to transfer $56,910 into the capital project fund for equipment replacement; presenters noted the draft contained an incorrect board date and the relevant board will meet next week.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough Finance Committee considered an ordinance to appropriate forestry revenues to reimburse personnel expenditures incurred from July 1 related to the 2025 Goldstream Creek fire and to transfer $56,910 from forestry revenue into the capital project fund to replace equipment used.
A presenter summarized that the ordinance served two purposes: replenish personnel costs with received forestry revenues and move $56,910 (received as equipment-use revenue) into the capital project fund for future equipment replacement. “The second thing it does is it also transfers $56,910 from, a forestry revenue and places it into the capital project fund,” the presenter said.
The presenter also noted the draft included an incorrect board date and clarified the relevant board had not yet met; the board will meet next week and provide a recommendation prior to final hearing.
The ordinance was presented under new business and placed on the committee’s consent agenda; no final vote was recorded in the transcript.
