CM CAMERON- Presented a proposal requesting the council to consider reverting back to QuickBooks from

Caselle. She discussed that the transition should be easy and that the harbormaster would be able to take on some

of the harbor billing themselves. Altman and Rogers have a QuickBooks professional who can help with the

transition. Auto billing would still be available but customers would no longer be able to go online and view their

bills. Credit card expenses were higher with QuickBooks, but there were 3rd party credit card processing

companies out there that are Quickbooks compatible. One company she presented claimed to be 38% cheaper, she

asked for councils’ consideration to look into 3rd party credit card companies to cut down the expense.

The schedule patterns proposed are based on the funding levels for FY20. The operating plan has been designed to meet community service needs while staying within available funding levels, and maintaining regulatory and safety standards for the vessels.

Please take the time to review and comment on this proposed schedule. The link to access the proposed schedule patterns is: http://www.dot.state.ak.us/amhs/share/schedule/considerations.pdf.

AMHS is also interested in knowing about any need for special events scheduling and requests that organizers or communities give the event name, dates, location, and arrival/departure times needed for each special event.

Guide to Reading and Using AMHS Scheduling Graphs (Or Spider Graphs as they are affectionately known)

The AMHS scheduling graphs convey a massive amount of information on a single page, and they can be

confusing to understand and interpret. The following explanations and suggestions may help.

1. The title of the graph defines the geographic area depicted by the chart and the time period to which it

applies. When “Wk 1 & 3” or “Wk 2 & 4” appear, it implies that the schedule alternates every other

week of the month (i.e. that the schedule is not the same every week). Essentially, a week 1 schedule

would be followed by week 2, then back to week 3 (which is the same as week 1) and so on to round out

the 4 weeks of a month.

2. The days of the week and times of the day are spread across the top axis of the chart. Midnight to

midnight is shown for each day with only noon shown on the graph for reference and to declutter it.

3. The various ports are shown on the left side axis of the chart using their three letter AMHS designator.

A key to decipher port and ship codes is on page 2 of this guide. Ports with only one dock or ship berth

are shown on a single line. Ports with multiple docks have a line for each dock (e.g. JNU 1, JNU 2, JNU

3). They are generally arranged in geographic order, such as Skagway at the top (north) and Bellingham

at the bottom (south).

4. Each ship is shown in a different color, and has the ship’s three letter identifier listed beside it

throughout the chart for reference. A solid bar of a particular ship’s color in a specific port’s row on the

chart indicates the time for that ship to be in that port. By reference to the top axis, you can determine the

approximate times of those in port periods.

5. Thin lines of a ship’s color between ports indicate transit time for that particular ship between the two

ports at either end of the line.

6. Thin lines that “run off the right edge of the chart” are continued, either on the left edge of the same

chart (if running on a weekly scheduling cycle) or on the left edge of the alternating Wk 1&3, Wk 2&4

chart (if running on a two week scheduling cycle).

7. Ships that transition between geographic areas (e.g. Kennicott going across the Gulf of Alaska) have a

notation box at the end of their thin transit line indicating such “To X-Gulf” or “Fr X-Gulf”

Suggestions for use:

1. To see what a particular ship does, just follow that ship’s colored line as it zigzags across the chart to

determine what ports it visits and on what days and at what approximate times.

2. To see what service a particular community receives, just follow that community’s horizontal row

across the chart to see what ships stop in that community and on which days of the week and times of the

day that happens. You can also determine, by looking at that ship’s thin transit lines, where a ship

serving your community is coming from and where it is going to next.
