The Northwest Arctic Borough Assembly unanimously enacted Ordinance 23-04-am-02 at a special meeting in Kotzebue on March 7, 2025, approving an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024 line-item budget to make a discretionary revenue transfer to the Sustainability Fund. Member Dood Lincoln Carr moved to enact the ordinance; Member Miles Cleveland Sr. seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous roll call.
The ordinance was discussed briefly before the vote. Member Craig McConnell raised a timing concern, saying the transfer could not wait until the Assembly’s next regular meeting. No dollar amount for the transfer was stated in the meeting minutes provided.
The action followed routine procedural business. The Assembly first took roll call, excused two absent members after a motion by Member Dood Lincoln Carr, and then approved the meeting agenda on a motion by Member Derek Haviland Lie, seconded by Member Dood Lincoln Carr. No audience comments were presented during the meeting.
Acting Mayor Clara Johnson thanked the Assembly and staff for convening the special session, offered condolences to the Rue family in Ambler, and wished residents safe travels for the weekend. President Nathan Hadley Jr. opened the meeting at 1:07 P.M., and Member Dood Lincoln Carr moved to adjourn at 1:22 P.M.; the motion carried.
What’s next: The ordinance was enacted and recorded in the meeting minutes; the minutes do not specify an implementation timeline, exact transfer amount, or subsequent procedural steps. Those details were not provided and are therefore not stated here.
