Waste Management on collecting the overdue amounts. Bud Cassidy instructed Alaska
Waste Management to stop service on commercial accounts that were over 90 days in
arrears. If commercial accounts were not paid in full their dumpster will be taken away.
There are few accounts in that situation as Alaska Waste had been aggressive with its
collection efforts the last month. All commercial accounts in arrears have been notified
6 weeks in advance. Residential accounts in arrears have also been notified their roll
carts will be taken away for non-payment. Residential accounts in the City of Kodiak
have mandatory service so they will continue to be charged the monthly fee but will not
have the convenience of their roll cart. For customers outside the City who use roll off
dumpsters and are in arrears, accounts will be sent to small claims court. Have obtained
information for the Transfer Station, including the Operations, Maintenance
Requirements and Work Plans on how the Kenai Peninsula Borough transfer stations are
structured. Also a plan for the transfer site attendant including daily duties and hours.
Board discussion ensued.
B. Staff Report- Engineering Director - Bob Tucker— Reported the Kodiak Island Borough
added a pickup and redelivery fee for roll-carts to the fee schedule. The code
enforcement officer Neil Horn was working on separating fines and fees in the fee
schedule for littering and unlawful use of a dumpster. Landfill Phase II and Phase III have
both started. The Building for the Landfill arrived and was being unloaded.
C. USCG Representative— Fritz Miller— Reported on solid waste trends (Solid Waste
Disposal and Recycling) for USCG Kodiak for 2010 through 2014 showing the 20%
diversion rate. In the January 9, 2014 Borough work session the Assembly talked about
the C & D diversion for USCG. This would include recycling in all construction contracts
for USCG with a re-use lumber option. USCG was interested in disposing of
contaminated absorbents and soil locally. Board discussion ensued.
D. Collection Center Committee-Nick Szabo— Presented to the board a power point
presentation shown to the assembly at the work session March 27, 2014 on the
proposed transfer site showing location, layout, cost, staffing, rules and more. The
board discussed the particulars of the transfer site. Will meet again with the assembly
