A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA
SUPPORTING THE KENAI PENINSULA COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
WHEREAS, the Kenai Peninsula Community College of the University
of Alaska has served the general welfare by enabling local
residents to enhance their educational developments, career
aspirations, and standard of living, and
WHEREAS, the Community College has supplied local industry
with the skilled manpower that is desperately needed in the
area, and
WHEREAS, the Council has learned that the Community College
has witnessed a tremendous growth of its student population
within the last year, and
WHEREAS, despite the expanding demands upon the Community
College for increased educational services, the College has
been unable to respond for the reason that necessary state
funding to meet those demands has not been forthcoming, and
consequently the need of adequate funds has reached emergency
proportions, and
WHEREAS, in order to meet, even minimally, the financial
needs of the Community College, additional immediate funding
for the present year of $40,000 to $100,000 is necessary,
and an additional amount of $300,000 is needed to meet those
needs for the future year, and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest for the City Council
to lend its wholehearted support to the Community College in
its efforts at securing the proper state funding,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA AS FOLLOWS:
The Council of the City of Kenai wholeheartedly supports
the Kenai Peninsula Community College in its efforts at
securing the desperately needed additional funding from the
State of Alaska and all other available sources in order to
keep the institution operating and serving the needs of the
