RESOLUTION NO. 99-47
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING
THE ENDEAVORS OF THE COOK INLET REGIONAL CITIZENS ADVISORY COUNCIL
(CIRCAC) TO ENCOURAGE THOSE WITH THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY AND
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT "PREVENTION" OF OIL SPILLS IN COOK INLET
BECOME ONE OF THEIR HIGHEST PRIORITIES.
WHEREAS, we encourage those with the authority and responsibility to exercise due
process expeditiously in generating, if not guaranteeing ultimate "Prevention" rules
pertaining to any kind of oil spill in Cook Inlet; and,
WHEREAS, engaging such "Prevention" rules by those with the authority and
responsibility to do so will contribute to the continual safe and timely passage of goods
and freight through the Port of Anchorage to a number of communities of Alaska and
to over sixty percent (60%) of all Alaskans' and,
WHEREAS, we suggest to those with the authority and responsibility that "Prevention"
should not be a reactionary tool but should be done through the immediate sense of
planning and employing best available technology prior to a spill occurring.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, that CIRCAC may present this resolution at their Forum "Safety of Navigation
in Cook Inlet" in Homer, Alaska, September 10, 1999 and for any other purpose it may
deem appropriate.
PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this fourth day of
August, 1999.
