Finance committee forwards sales‑tax holiday and two contract recommendations to assembly
Summary
The finance committee recommended the assembly approve Resolution 25‑21 (sales‑tax holiday), approved $64,056 for CRW engineering to prepare clinic X‑ray installation plans, and recommended KPFF construction administration services for anodes (not to exceed $129,142).
The Skagway Municipality Finance Committee on Sept. 3 recommended three items to the assembly and approved two contract recommendations by voice vote.
Sales tax holiday: The committee moved to recommend Resolution 25‑21, a sales‑tax holiday for retail sales, citing favorable timing ahead of a town hall and local support; the motion passed by voice vote.
Clinic X‑ray room engineering: Manager Deach explained the clinic procured an X‑ray unit with grant funds but late engineering and hazmat/electrical specifications require formal plans. The committee moved and recommended to the assembly approval of $64,056 to CRW for engineering and architectural design services to prepare installation plans; members noted additional installation/contract costs will follow and likely appear in a subsequent budget.
Anodes (KPFF) construction administration: Staff presented a KPFF proposal for construction administration services to install harbor anodes. The proposal included reimbursable site‑visit travel billed to the municipality, though staff noted those travel costs are included in the fee estimate. The committee moved to recommend approval of KPFF services in an amount not to exceed $129,142 and approved the recommendation by voice vote.
All items above were forwarded to the assembly for final action; committee discussion flagged that some installation and construction costs will extend into future fiscal years and require coordination.
