SUBJECT: Resolution 2004-094 Urging the Alaska State Board of Fisheries to Provide Public Opportunity for Testimony in Soldotna at its Upcoming January Meeting

The recent decision by the Board of Fisheries to hold its January 2005 upper Cook Inlet meeting in Anchorage as opposed to Soldotna spawned a number of critical responses. Suggestions from stakeholders as to location desirability may or may not have been taken out of context. Be that as it may, perception sometimes rules.

This resolution attempts to schedule at least a portion of that meeting back to the Central Peninsula area where impacts to the economy and the citizenry can be significant.
