SUMMARY STATEMENT:
At the Community Service Organization (CSO) Budget Work Session on November 7, 2024, members of City Council requested an additional work session related to the Valdez Avalanche Center’s CSO application.
This was in response to a public appearance from Mat Brunton of the Chugach Mountain Institute detailing his concerns about avalanche programing in Valdez and the Valdez Avalanche Center’s operations during the November 6, 2024 regular meeting.
The goal of this work session is to allow the Valdez Avalanche Center an opportunity to answer questions from the City Council on the organization’s budget, use of CSO funds and operations.
Attached is the Valdez Avalanche Center’s 2025 CSO application.
