RESOLUTION 09-107

 

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, TO THE REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA EXPRESSING OUR CONCERN AND DISPLEASURE REGARDING THE FAILURE OF ENSTAR NATURAL GAS COMPANY TO DELIVER NATURAL GAS TO HOMER. 

WHEREAS, Enstar Natural Gas Company and the Regulatory Commission of Alaska have been previously made aware of Homer’s need and desire for natural gas through resolutions of the Homer City Council and public meetings; and

WHEREAS, Armstrong Cook Inlet has previously reported that they have successfully drilled a second production well in the North Fork unit; and

WHEREAS, Enstar competed with Homer Electric Association before the Regulatory Commission of Alaska and won approval to service Homer with North Fork unit gas; and

WHEREAS, Armstrong Cook Inlet and Enstar Natural Gas Company have now publically acknowledged that they have enough gas now available to build a pipeline, and have opted to connect it to an existing pipeline grid to the north instead of running a 10 mile line south to Homer.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Homer requests that the Regulatory Commission of Alaska address, and review the failure of Enstar Natural Gas Company to deliver natural gas to Homer.  

            PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Homer City Council this 12th day of October, 2009.
