involvement. Dvorak stated Julius had contacted DOT that they might do some sort of
collaborative thing but he didn't have a timeframe. Dvorak hoped Julius could talk about what
their objectives could be and what they wanted to achieve. We'll bring this back at the next
meeting.

Page C-4 the designated emergency frequency is being used by the city for their paging and

c) FY2011 LEPC Grant Application Submittal (Duane Dvorak)
Dvorak stated he included a copy of the actual application in the packet to give you an idea of
how the allocation of funds would lay out for next fiscal year. For the most part it's very
similar.Our money is down a little from last year.
d) April 8, 2010 Marine Rescue Operations Annex - Tabletop Exercise (Lt. Jason T.
Boyle,USCG)
Dvorak said he knows there was a meeting at KFRC on April 8th and was sponsored by the
Coast Guard.They are putting together this Marine Rescue Operations Annex.
Lt. Jason Boyle stated that everyone who came to the mass rescue operations training should
have received a draft copy of the annex for the Kodiak EOP. In it we solicited some feedback
for the draft but he didn't receive any so he's extending the opportunity for feedback for 1
week before finalizing it.
e) Kodiak Crab Festival Preparedness Booth (Rome amai/Bob Imes)
Dvorak stated this is a photographic record of the booth we had at the Crab Festival. This
wasn't something we did as a LEPC but was done from the responder community and
resources. We did contribute our Emergency Preparedness brochures and also USB drives
with the current Emergency Operations Plan Volumes 1-4 which covers the road system,
Volumes 5-10 which are the village plans,and lastly the LEPC Bylaws and an application form.
We started with 500 USB drives and printed on the outside is Kodiak Area LEPC and the State
Emergency Response Commission website. You can access info about LEPC's on this website.
This is the first time they are allowing promotional things with the grant funds.
PRESENTATION
a) Training presentation - AK Shield Hazmat Exercise in Anchorage, April 27-29 (Lt.
Jim Mullican, CO -F )
Mullican, Hazmat Coordinator for the City of Kodiak Hazmat Team and part of his job is we are
a State asset besides responding to hazardous incidents up to Level A in Kodiak we respond to
different areas in the state when communities that don't have Level A Hazmat Teams need
help or if communities that have Level A capabilities gets exceeded in its ability to deal with
the situation. He gave a PowerPoint presentation on the Alaska Shield Exercise and stated the
objective was to bring the teams together because they hadn't operated together as a whole at
all before. Teams were mixed up so not only are we working together as units we're working
together inside the units to build the team concept but also the trust we need to have with
each other when we go into these situations. There were people from Federal NDOT
responders and EPA people from DC heavily involved in the drill also. The drill was for a
massive 7.1 earthquake in South Central Alaska with aftershocks a few days later involving
trains carrying hazardous substances that were released. The passenger train had 50
passengers on board, live passengers that were injured and contaminated with diesel fuel.
Anchorage Fire Department and Elmendorf Fire Department also responded. This was one
small part of the drill going on in Anchorage. They had a simulated building collapse on the
other side of town. The intent was to overwhelm Anchorage Fire Department. The Army was
brought into the exercise. Everyone was staged and then responded to the scene. It started
about 7:30 a.m. and finished up about 7:30 p.m. Federal support was involved as well who
used the State Emergency Coordination Center who contacted the EPA, Army, and all the
Federal players in this.

COMMUNICATIONS
a) Next LEPCA/SERC Meetings-September 2010 in Anchorage
b) Bi-Annual Preparedness Conference-September 2010 in Anchorage
Dvorak stated the LEPC Statewide Association and the State Emergency Response
Commission meetings will be in September 2010.They've gone to their Bi-Annual Conference
format In conjunction with this it usually ends up being a week long set of meetings and
trainings. There's a big push right now for training, some of you might have been involved in
the ICS 100 and 200 training last winter and fall.Those are the basic ICS courses you can take.
The State's big push right now are the ICS 300 and 400 which are the courses aimed at mid
level and executive level responders and the folks that will be involved in our incident
command system. Those courses are taking place around the state and if anyone is interested
in pursuing those courses they can be obtained online through the FEMA website.We will try
to get some folks down here to do training. The State is developing their own courses called
G191, that's the ICS/EOC interface and then G351 which is the who's in charge course. They
are planning on rolling out the G191 in Valdez in August.
Dvorak stated this should have been under Informational Items but Bob Tucker wanted to
give an update on the East Elementary backup generator situation.
Tucker stated at the last meeting everyone was interested in where we are with the backup
power for East Elementary for the hospital backup. He took that information forward to the
Engineering & Facilities Department moving that project up on the list. It went before the
Assembly at their last work session where they had consensus and they're looking at
borrowing the money from the Facility fund to fund this project. That budget should be
passed, if they pass it, tonight. That project would be funded this summer and we could start
working on it as soon as possible.
