The Ports and Harbor Commission of Valdez, Alaska, held its regular meeting on April 6, 2026. The meeting focused on approving updated harbor rates and fees, reviewing the 2025 small projects completed list, and discussing future infrastructure needs including boat launch ramps, Kelsey Dock improvements, and cruise ship growth.
Come to order. Come to order at 7 15. It's Cali finally. Yeah, we have Colleen's uh excuse tonight. Who else? That's it. That's it. Only four right now. We don't we have one opening. One app is an excuse. Do we have any minutes to deal with? Can I? Tanisha, I didn't see any minutes in the agenda. No. Okay, public visits from the floor. Your opportunity AJ. New business, I guess, is where we're at. I believe so. Okay, approval recommendation of Ports and Hyper's Commission. Name rates and fees for use of facilities and values harbor and refuel resolution number 24-51. Naming such rates and fees. Move. Yeah, I'll I'll make a motion to uh approve the recommendation. I'll second discussion. Yep. Hearing none. All in favor. Aye. Aye. Three A's. One absent excuse. Motion carried. Okay. Moving on. Small projects completed in the reports. Yes. Part of what the goals was to review the small works projects and the big works project. This is a small list that they did. Last year I let Andrew speak on this. He can speak on October's. So yeah, um, as you see for the 2025 completed project list, it's a breakdown between the facilities, North Harbor, South Harbor, um VCT airport, and the Kelsey dock. Um as you see, the uh you know the North Harbor has uh had quite a bit of work done. So South Harbor's had uh quite a bit of work down, work done as well. Um there's a lot of painting, a lot of boardwalk work. Um don't necessarily think I need to read through this entire list for you guys, but if you have any questions specifically about this list, uh I'd be more than happy to uh field some questions. Yeah, I I was just curious if um uh these things are they mostly just what you've seen, or do these things get reported to you or a mixture of both? Yeah, I mean it's kind of it's kind of a combination uh of every A, B, and C column. Um things that get reported, things that the managers I mean throughout their their dock walk and facility walks, we uh we make note of things, and then at that point uh we get to delegated out to the group. All right, um and so sometimes it's I mean even it sometimes even comes from uh community members that are walking around and seeing things that are walking through the facility. So um maybe not necessarily VCT, um, but certainly the north and south harbor.
