Contracts
1. Contract No. FY2021-05 Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center & Baler Building
Fuel Tank Installation.
ARNDT moved to authorize the Borough Manager to execute Contract No. FY2021-05 with
Scott's Heating and Plumbing Service, Inc. for the Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center &
Baler Building Fuel Tank Installation project in an amount not to exceed $187,500.
Kodiak Island Borough Code 3.30.020 Limitation on Manager's Authority, states that a contract
exceeding $25,000 requires Assembly approval.
This contract is for installation of new fuel tanks at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center
(PKIMC) and the Landfill Baler Building. Design was completed by Jensen Yorba Wall and RSA
Engineers and approved by the Architectural/Engineering Review Board. The scope of work for
this project is completing the necessary site work and installing new fuel tanks and fuel
piping. Procurement of the tanks was previously bid and awarded; the tank for the Baler Building
is already on site, and the tank for PKIMC is scheduled to arrive in mid -August 2020.
Both facilities previously had underground fuel tanks/lines that experienced leaks and were
decommissioned. Temporary above ground tanks and piping are in place but these tanks are
undersized for long term usage. This project will install new tanks with the proper concrete footings
and fuel piping.
An invitation to bid was issued on July 13, 2020 and bids were due and opened on July 28, 2020.
Two bids were received, and the apparent low bidder was Red Hook Construction LLC (see
attached bid tabulation). On July 30, 2020, Red Hook sent a letter withdrawing their bid because
they failed to include the cost of a new leak detection panel at the PKIMC fuel tank. The next
lowest bidder was Scott's Heating and Plumbing Service, Inc. Staff has confirmed with Scott's
that they have the entire scope of work included in their bid. Based on discussions with the design
team and other contractors who were involved in the bidding process, staff is comfortable
recommending award of the contract to Scott's for their bid amount.

ARNDT moved to authorize the Borough Manager to execute Change Order No. 10
Amending Contract No. FY2019-10 with Jensen Yorba Wall, Inc. for Architectural and
Engineering Services Term Contract in an amount not to exceed $14,915.
Kodiak Island Borough Code 3.30.100 Change Orders - Manager Authority states that a change
order greater than five percent of approved contract amount or $50,000, whichever is lower,
requires Assembly approval.
This is a change order to the Borough's term contract with Jensen Yorba Wall (JYW) to include
design services for the KFRC Fume Hood Exhaust System project. The fume hoods at KFRC
currently have issues maintaining sufficient air flow when a certain number of hoods are in use.
This is a life safety issue as the hoods allow for safe use of chemicals during lab work. The design
process for this project will look at potential remedies such as replacing the exhaust fan, modifying
existing ductwork, or both.

DVORAK moved to adopt Resolution FY2021-13.
ARNDT moved to amend by substituting Version 2
ORIGINAL
Due to the current interest rate environment, the State of Alaska has determined it is beneficial to
refund (refinance) the callable portion of our long-term care center bonds.
Since advance refunding is no longer legal for non-taxable bonds, and the interest rates for
taxable and non-taxable bonds are similar, changing the tax status of the bonds enables us to
capture future savings now.
By participating in the mass refunding the State is conducting with other municipalities, the costs
of refunding is less versus the cost of refunding a single issue on our own.
Staff has consulted with the current tenant of the long-term care center and they do not have any
concerns with the change in the tax status of the bonds.
This resolution gives approval to do two things;
1. Refund (refinance) the long-term care revenue bonds and changing their tax status from
non-taxable to taxable, and
2. Repeals Resolution FY2020-07 which gave permission to refund the long-term care
revenue bonds from non-taxable to non-taxable.
VERSION 2
Due to continuing changes in the interest rate environment, the present value cost benefit are
positive for refunding additional long-term bonds. Previously the benefits were positive for bonds
for 2025-2030, however this revised resolution includes years 2024 and 2031-2033.

Budget, By Amending Budgets To Account For Federal CARES (Coronavirus Aid,

Budget, By Amending Budgets To Account For Various Revenues That Are Over
Budget, Providing For Additional Expenditures And Moving Funds Between
Projects.
ARNDT moved to advance Ordinance No. FY2021-01D to public hearing at the next regular
meeting of the assembly on August 20, 2020.
This ordinance details changes and accounts for additional funding requests that have occurred
during the current fiscal year for items or circumstances that were not known or expected during
the initial creation of the FY2020 Budget.
Funds
Funds are accounts established to collect money that must be used for a specific purpose. The
following funds are being changed with this budget amendment.
Fund 100 General Fund :
o Department 125 Information Technology ($100,000 to Capital Project Fund -
CAMA/Collection Software Upgrade)
Fund 220 Building & Grounds:
o Department 237 Chiniak School (transfer $75,000 to Capital Project Fund -
Chiniak School Water System)
Fund 555 - Kodiak Fisheries Research Center (transfer $110,000 to Capital Project=.
Fund - Fire Alarm Replacement & Upgrade)
Projects:
Since most projects cover multiple years, the borough does not create annual budgets for them.
Instead, each project budget is created individually when the project itself is created. Throughout
the life of a project, funds may be moved into or out of the project due to additions and
subtractions to changes to the scope work, expenses that come in over/under original estimates,
or funds that remain at the completion of the project. The projects being amended by this budget
amendment are:
• Fund 415 - CAMA/Collection Software Upgrade (increasing by $100,000)
• Fund 426 - KFRC Fire Alarm Replacement & Upgrade (increasing by $110,000)
• Fund 450/455 - Chiniak School Water System (increase by $75,000)
• Fund 495/497 - PKIMC redirect funds for the Fire Suppression project and Roof project
into new Fire Alarm Replacement and Upgrade project (net change $0)

3. Ordinance No. FY2021-15 Rezoning Lots 1 And 2, Isthmus Bay from RR2 —Rural
Residential Two District To C — Conservation District (P&Z Case No. 20-007).
KAVANAUGH moved to advance Ordinance No. FY2021-15 to public hearing at the next regular
meeting of the assembly on August 20, 2020.
The intent of the applicant is to establish a lodge -style business occupation on the subject lots.
The business would consist of small vacation homes, day -use areas and support facilities such
as a spa and recreation/athletic facilities. In addition to the lots described in this application, the
applicant owns the two lots north of lot 2 and plans to use all four lots for the business. Isthmus
Bay Subdivision Lots 1 & 2 are currently zoned RR2 (Rural Residential Two). Lodges are
not permitted under RR2 (Rural Residential Two) which prohibits lodges and lodge -style
businesses. Lodges and lodge -style business are permitted in C (Conservation) zoning districts.
The rezone of Isthmus Bay Subdivision Lots 1 & 2 from RR2 (Rural Residential Two) to C
(Conservation) would allow the applicant to develop and operate a business that is consistent with
the development goals outlined in the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan Update
and the 1987 Chiniak Comprehensive Plan.
The rural residential designation of the Comprehensive Plan provides for large lots and residential
development at rural densities. Businesses should be permitted if they can ensure that the rural
character of the area is maintained.
The RR2 (Rural Residential Two) zoning district requires lots to have a minimum area of 2 acres,
C (Conservation) district requires lots to have a minimum area of 5 acres. The minimum area
required for C (Conservation) zoned lands is greater than that required by RR2 (Rural Residential
Two) zoning, so the minimum lot area requirement of the requested exceed that of the current
zoning requirement.
It should be noted that Lot 1 does not meet the C (Conservation) zoning district 5-acre minimum
area requirement, but the combined total area of the two lots is 10.39 acres. If the rezone is
approved, the applicant would need to modify the lot lines to come into compliance. Rural
residential densities would be maintained with the rezone in that RR2 (Rural Residential Two) and
C (Conservation) zoning districts only permit single-family dwellings.
However, a lodge -style business would increase the transient occupancy with the planned
development of small vacation homes, day -use areas and support facilities. Lodging with
provisions for no more than six clients are permitted in the C (Conservation) zoning district. More
with a conditional use permit, if approved. The increased occupancy would increase the demand
on onsite potable water supplies and septic disposal.
