Commissioners are expected at Friday's meeting to hear a
second reading of a request to enter into a 20-year lease with Trident Seafoods
Corporation. The commission will also consider approving legal fees to recover cleanup
costs for a site on East 11th Street, and they
will discuss the CEO’s goals for 2017.
The date of this month’s commission meeting was
changed from the typical third Thursday of the month to allow
for travel. See
the full agenda.
