Capital Projects versus Operations

Capital project funds cannot be used for operations in State Parks; this rule is true for most government projects.  Thus, money appropriated for the Miller Point project cannot be used to hire staff for Kodiak State Parks.  It cannot be used to charter buses or any  use other than capital improvements.  The capital project funds cannot be used to hire extra staff to handle the difficult and potentially unsafe maneuvering of school buses and other large vehicles who cannot turn around at Miller Point without assistance.  Kodiak residents and visitors who are elderly, disabled, or otherwise physically limited deserve safe and convenient access to the Miller Point Historical Area.
