S. Visitor Comments
Ken Reinke of Threshold Recycling commented on the astonishing amount of cardboard being
taken to the landfill from construction sites. It would behoove this body to figure out some way
to put in the building code that they have to recycle their cardboard from construction sites. It
was odd that it already hasn't happened. Almost no cardboard was being recycled by
construction sites.
Bob Tucker, Engineering and Facilities Director of the Kodiak Island Borough commented that
all Borough Projects have recycling cardboard in their contract.

A. Service Area Tax-Karl Short, Dora Cross Revenue Accountant for the Kodiak Island
Borough, spoke for Karl Short on creating a service area tax to pay for Solid Waste
collection fees. This would have to go before the people for a vote.
B. Solid Waste Handling Options—Joe Lipka, KIB Solid Waste Manager/ Env. Spec, —The
Solid Waste Disposal Survey was ready to put on the Borough web site and the Borough
facebook page. There would be paper copies in the Borough cashier's office and at the
library. Lipka discussed the Landfills cost savings on recycling with the board. Based on
2015 Closure/Post Closure report, the landfill costs with no recycling would be over
million dollars more per year more. Staff was working on obtaining a glass crusher, card
board baler and a tire shredder for recycling purposes. The board requested staff look
into bear resistant roll carts and dumpsters from Alaska Waste.
