I contacted Jane Hess who is a program attorney for the
Department of Education. I asked Miss Hess if the indemnity clause
in the quitclaim deed was intended to cover construction and
maintenance work performed by the IInited States in the past. I
asked if the language in the clause could be changed.
Hess responded that the United States would take the
position that by accepting the quitclaim deed, the Rodiak island
Borough is accepting all liability for the construction,
maintenance and use of Peterson Elementary School, including
construction work that has been performed in the past. She said
that she had no authority to change the language in the deed. In
determining whether to accept the deed, the Assembly and
Administration should take into account that in its present form
the deed is intended by the United States to transfer all liability
for the building to the Rodiak Island Borough.

I reviewed the Ietter you received, dated September 4, 1992, from the Department of Edwration
with the attached Project Description, draft Quitclaim Deed and Asam~ances. The Assurances is the
docimment which is requested by the department prior to the completion of the final quitclaim documents
I do not 5nd a~ objection to the language of the ?~ssances. I recommend that it can be signed and
returned to the Department of Education
You should be aware of certain language of the Quitclaim Deed. On January 28,1991, the Kodiak
Island Borough School District passed Resolution No. 901-4, supporting the transfer of title fair Peterson
Elementary School to the Kodiak Island Borough. Included in this resolution was a condition that the
United States Department of Education hold the Kodiak Island Borough harmless from the payme~ of
any claims relating to harerdoua substance release. On February 7, 1991, the Kodiak Island Borough
Assembly passed Resolution No. 91-5, supporting the transfer of Peterson Elementary School to the Kodiak
Island Borough, with an identical condition that the United States Department of Education hold the
Kodiak Island Borough harmless from any claims relatng to a~ hazardous substance release.
Paragraph b, Page 8 of the draft Quitclaim Deed enclosed with the letter from the Department
of Education, dated September 4, 1992, speciScally rejects this condition requested by the assembly and
the school board. In addition, Paragiaph 11, Page 5 of the draft Quitclaim Deed contains the following
language:
11. By acceptance of this instrument, the Transferee agrees
that this transfer and release is effective on an "as is, where is" basis, and
that the UNITED STATES makes no warranty, eapreas or implied, with
respect to the property hereby t*ansferred. The Transferee agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA free
and harmless from all liabHity, loss, damages, claims, and other expenses,
including attorney's fees and rnurt costs, originating from or in rnnnection
with the construction, maintemnce, or use of the school facilities or
originating from or in connection with the Transferee's removal of the
asbestos contamimnta from the school facilities or conveyed herein by the
U.S. Department of Educstition to the Transferee.
__ , -~
Mayor Selby Memo
September 14, 1992
Page 2
This language wffi expose the Kodiak Island Borough to liability for a~ claims relating to the construction,
maintenance or use of the school faclitiea
If the intent of this. language is to protect the United States from future claims with respect to
school fao~7itiea, you may wish to recommend the addition of the word "future" in the second sentence of
Paragraph 11 so that sentence would read as follows:
The Transferee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the UNPI'ED
STATES OFAMESiCAfree and harmless from all liability, lose, damages,
claims, and other expenses, including attorney's fees and court costs,
n*~an~*"_ng from or III Connection with the future construction,
maintenance, or use of the school faa7ities or originating from or in
cennection with the Transferee's removal of the asbestos contaminants
from the school facilities conveyed herein by the U.S. Department of
Education to the Transferee.
You should note, however, that even this change in language will not constitute a promise by the United
States to indemnify sad hold the borough harmless from claims relating to peat barerdous substance
release as originally requested by the school board and the borough assembly.
I also have the following grammatical and typographical changes for the Qnitr]aim Deed.
In the introductory paragraph, switch the designations of "Kodiak Island Borough School District°
and "Kodiak Island Borough" so that the last clause of that paragraph reads as follows:
...and the Kodiak Island Borough, Transferee, a muniopal government
organized and eaiating under the laws of the State of Alaska, on behaff
of the Kodiak Island Borough School District, (lorel edurstional agency),
Kodiak Island, Alaska.
In Paragraph 2 of the Quitclaim Deed, chA ~ the word "Kodiak' to "the Kodiak Island Borough".
In Paragraph 8 of the Quitclaim Deed, change the word "Kodiak" to "the Kodiak Island Borough".
Revise the acknowledgement on Page 9 of the Quitclaim Deed to read as follows:
Before me a notary public in sad for the State of Alaska, on this
day personally appeared JEROME M. SEI.BY, known to me to be the
person whose name is subscribed to the foregoing instrument, and
acknowledged to me that he ezecuted the name vohmtarily and as the act
and deed of the Kodiak Island Borough, a political subdivision of the State
of Alaska, on behalf of the Kodiak Island Borough School District, and as
Mayor of the said municipality, and for the purposes and considerations
therein expressed.
Feel free to call if you have any questions concerning the foregoing recommendations.
