MEMORANDUM

TO: Gary Superman, Assembly President

Members, Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly

FROM: Dale Bagley, Mayor

Grace Merkes, Assembly Member

DATE: June 29, 2005

SUBJECT: Resolution 2005-070, placing a proposition on the ballot regarding construction of the Funny River Bridge

As discussed during the June 7, 2005, assembly meeting, when the assembly considered Resolution 2005-044 regarding the Funny River Bridge project, the administration and Assembly Member Merkes intended to present an advisory ballot proposition for assembly consideration on this issue. This resolution would place on the ballot two questions regarding the proposed Funny River Bridge project:

1. Should the State construct the bridge; and

2. Should the Borough contribute toward the project?

By asking both of these questions, it is our intent to gain guidance from the voters regarding whether the bridge should be constructed at all, and, if so, which entity should contribute to construction of the bridge.

As this would affect the road service area budget, this is presented as a road service area ballot proposition.

Your support of this resolution would be appreciated.
