For more than ten thousand years, Alaska Native people have been and continue to be integral to the well-being of our community. We are grateful to be in this place, a part of this community, and to honor the culture, traditions, and resilience of the Tlingit people. Gunalchéesh!

Monday (6/17) at 4:30pm is the deadline for applicants to submit the advanced interview questions for each board in order to be scheduled for an interview. Clerk Staff will work to provide final applicant numbers prior to this HRC meeting.
At the time of this HRC packet posting on 6/14:
D&H Board: 10 applications (2 applicants returned questions)
Airport Board: 4 applications (0 applicants returned questions)
Eaglecrest Board: 12 applications (2 applicants returned questions)
The committee may wish to tentatively pick a second date later in July to hold interviews for the Docks & Harbors Board if July 2nd looks like it will be too long of a night to hold all three board interviews. The Airport and Eaglecrest Boards have regular meetings the 1st and 2nd weeks of the month and the Docks & Harbors Board holds its regular meeting the last week of the month, hence the recommendation to hold D&H interviews later in July if needed.
The other option, if keeping all interviews on 7/2, would be to start at 5pm.
