Borough Will Facilitate NOAA Teleconference on Connelly Lake

In response to requests from Haines residents, the Borough will makes its teleconference equipment available for the Tuesday, June 26, 9-noon meeting at NOAA in Juneau.  The teleconference line is not a toll-free line, but the Borough will absorb the minimal cost ($18.00 estimate) for the 3-hour long connection.

In setting setting this link up, Glen Martin, Project Manager with Alaska Power & Telephone Company, explained the purpose of the Juneau meeting and requested that Haines listen in, reserving comments for the public meeting in Haines the following evening.  Mr. Martin writes

This meeting is meant for the resource agencies to discuss this project in a focused way and is therefore not meant for a full discussion with public involvement. I hope those members of the public that listen in will respect this and allow the agency meeting to proceed without interruption (email to Stephanie Scott, June 21, 2012.)

The Haines public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 27, at the ANB Hall, 6-8 PM.
