Amendment was unanimously approved during the second reading to provide a prorated refund of the $2,000 facility fee if a resident moves out of the facility within six months of moving in.
Because the economic value of Petersburg's tidelands is great, Ordinance #2024-21 is written to provide that the sale of tidelands shall not be made for consideration less than the appraised full and true value rather than the assessed value, and to clarify the sale process to ensure any sale of tidelands is in the Borough's best interest.
An amendment was drafted for the third reading at the request of Assembly Member Lynn to provide that in the case of a sale of tidelands by public auction the individual who has the highest bid and purchases the property shall pay for all costs associated with the sale. See Section 16.16.075(A)(3).
Ordinance #2024-21 was unanimously approved in its first and second readings.

If adopted in three readings, Ordinance #2024-23 will impose storage fees, a marine condition survey, and proof of insurance on vessels in the harbors that are deemed inactive. Ordinance #2024-23 was unanimously approved in its first reading.
If approved, Resolution #2024-15 will show Petersburg's support for fully funding the Municipal Harbor Facility Grant Program in the FY 2026 State of Alaska capital budget.
