Proposition #1: Why It Matters

Here is a summary of the RFP document text: The City of Cordova needs to install an electrified bear fence at the 17 Mile Landfill to meet state environmental and landfill operation rules. The fence will be 8-10 feet tall with an additional 3 feet of underground fencing to prevent animals from digging under it. The project is required to avoid enforcement action, fines, and potential loss of the landfill permit. The City has been approved for a $870,000 loan with $500,000 forgiven, leaving the City responsible for $370,000 plus interest. A "YES" vote on Proposition #1 will allow the City to complete the project, protecting local wildlife, improving working conditions, and ensuring safe landfill operations. The vote will take place with early voting starting on February 10th and election day on March 3rd.
