		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s Assembly meeting was pretty tame and ended early, but don&#8217;t expect the next two to follow the same pattern.  Why?  Because we&#8217;ll have public hearings on whether to renew the Downtown Improvement District (DID) on both September 14 &#38; 28, with deliberations on the 28th.  Readers will be forgiven for asking, &#8220;what&#8217;s the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week&#8217;s Assembly discussion on the universal identification check requirement at Brown Jug&#8217;s Tikahtnu Commons location got me thinking a bit more about how our community regulates liquor sales.  To explain a bit every establishment in our community that sells alcohol, whether they&#8217;re a beverage dispensary (bars &#38; restaurants, though there are different kinds of [...]]]></description>

Budget:
Total funds &#8220;obligated&#8221; to date are $257 million.  Obligated funds mean they&#8217;ve been designated to pay for work and contracts for that work have been let but the dollars have not necessarily changed hands, some of which occurs after work is complete, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I heard through the grapevine that Greg Jones, who serves as Executive Director of the Office of Community Planning and Development, had tendered his resignation.  Following our Friday work session I sought him out and confirmed the bad news &#8211; he&#8217;s on his way out.
I, for one, am sad to see him go.  [...]]]></description>

The Great Land Trust, which provides an essential service for area developers by obtaining and protecting lands and waterways in part to mitigate for other developments, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like all Alaskans I was deeply saddened to learn of Monday&#8217;s plane crash that claimed five lives and injured four others.  Many residents of the Last Frontier, myself included, fly throughout Alaska in aircraft large and small so each accident reminds us of the risks we accept as part of our lives.  That doesn&#8217;t make [...]]]></description>

All,
I apologize for the late notice but Governor Sheffield requested  postponement of tomorrow&#8217;s Port committee meeting.  We will now meet at on Monday, August 16, from 9 &#8211; 11 am in room 155 of City Hall.  The  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve never been to Valdez please allow me to recommend a visit.  I&#8217;m told my first one occurred before the ol&#8217; memory banks started recording, and I definitely recall enjoying spending the summer of 1989 in Alaska&#8217;s &#8220;Gateway to the Interior,&#8221; despite the circumstances that drew me there.  During the intervening years I&#8217;ve kept [...]]]></description>

Patrick
