Heli-Ski Map Committee (ad hoc)
Heli-Ski Map Committee (ad hoc)
On September 13, 2016, the Assembly passed Resolution 16-06-681 authorizing the Borough Manager to convene a committee to consider proposed amendments according to HBC 5.18.080(I). The Heli-ski Industry Permit holders selected Sean Brownell for the industry seat on the committee. Mayor Jan Hill selected Meredith Pochardt, Executive Director of Takshanuk Watershed Council for the local conservation group seat. Mayor Hill also appointed Assemblyman Ron Jackson as the Assembly Borough Representative seat. After application by the community to serve on an ad hoc committee to review the heli-ski map, the Manager invited all applicants to attend the random selection of the two resident seats on October 4, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. in the Borough conference room. Such random selection was attended by Diana Lapham and the Chilkat Valley News. Lori Smith and Scott Sundberg were randomly selected for the two Haines residents seats.
That committee had its initial meeting on Monday, October 17, 2016. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 21, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. at the Haines Public Library.
