To whom it may concern,
I was excited to see your listing for the Borough Manager position on the ICMA website. As a dynamic City
Manager/Administrator with over thirty years of professional experience in the public sector, including
eighteen in local government management, I am confident that I would be a valuable asset to your
community.
Your job listing mentions a need for someone with a broad range of knowledge of local government and city
management, which are areas that I have extensive experience in. I was most recently employed at the City of
Fitchburg, Wisconsin, where I honed my skills in local government management. While employed there, I
successfully managed a balanced budget while playing an active role in growing the equalized value of the
community through various economic development initiatives. The City of Fitchburg is the one of the fastest
growing communities in Wisconsin and is also the most diverse.
I am confident that my proven track record of excellent work ethic, unparalleled attention to detail, and
knack for team building will allow me to contribute to the team’s success in Kodiak Island Borough.
I look forward to discussing the Borough Manager position and my qualifications with you in more detail. I
am available to talk at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Patrick S. Marsh

provide for a smooth transition. Under my leadership, we accomplished this and in the process won
a 2008 5-Star Award from the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics and a 2009 Exemplary Award, the first such
awards since 2002. Our revenues approximately tripled from this transition. Under my direction, we were

management, I dealt directly with issues related to expansions of our water and sewer systems and related
financing, sustainable growth, economic development, industry retention, personnel administration and
collective bargaining with 3 unions. As Township Supervisor, I was the Chief Elected Official and Chief
Administrative Officer. I spent a good deal of my time and energy in the Economic Development area and I
had good success, and that success continues today based upon the positive relationships I maintained with
the business community. Muskegon Township maintains 3 enterprise funds, water, sewer collection and

Meagan,
Please find the enclosed employment application, resume, and this cover letter as my submission
toward the currently vacant Borough Manager position. As a born and raised Kodiak resident, I am
seeking this opportunity to primarily give back to my hometown. My experiences, qualifications, and
education provide an opportunity that would benefit the Kodiak Island Borough with homegrown
success substantiated within my resume.
My education is based within the Occupational Health and Safety field, which will provide a robust
approach to compliance, behavior-based systems, regulatory knowledge, and attention to detail.
Likewise, my experience in self-employment showcases the agility, leadership, and adaptability to
rapidly changing environments. Specifically, both education and experience have contributed to my
leadership abilities focusing on any organizations most important asset—its employees.
In addition to education and experience, I have specifically prided myself on the warrior ethos
attained from my tenure with the Alaska Army National Guard, as well as my current assignment as the
Battalion Commander for the Alaska State Defense Force under the State of Alaska Department of
Military and Veterans Affairs. This position is specific to the emergency response, disaster preparation,
and continuity-based approach that a small community needs. Emergencies will happen, how we plan,
prepare, train, and execute will define the success of the response posture. Having this capability as the
Borough Manager is imperative as time of disaster always seeks sound leadership and decision making.
Through education, experience, service to country, and service to state have positioned me as an ideal
candidate for the Kodiak Island Borough Manager. My homegrown success and agility lend itself to
learning in a servant-leadership style which contributes to positive teamwork, sense of pride in
organization, family-first environment, and fostering the goal of the Kodiak Island Borough to become a
destination for employment, rather than a stepping-stone.
Respectfully Submitted,
Ryan B. Sharratt |

Reference:Kodiak lsland Borough Manager Position
To Whom it May Concern:
I truly believe I am fully qualified for this position and will do a superb
and professional job for the leaders of the Borough and its Citizens.My
management and leadership skills have been continually developed and
honed for the past 3+decades as an active—duty logistics officer in the
United States Army,in the private sector as the City Manager of Ridgway,
Pennsylvania,the Operations Director position for a privatized housing firm
in the remote area of Eielson Air Force Base,Alaska,and as the City
Manager for the Borough of Lewistown in Pennsylvania.Countless times I
have been involved in the leadership,management,stewardship,fiscal
supervision,and planning of real property accountability,construction,
maintenance,zoning,destruction,and its use around the world and in local
communities.
In Baghdad,Iraq (2007-2008)I was the Mayor (Garrison
Commander)of Fonrvard Operating Base FALCON,a 455 acre combat
base which was home for 12,000 Soldiers /Sailors /Airmen /Marines.I
was directly in charge and responsible for the smooth,effective,and
continuous expansion,building,construction,and operations of this “city”
and its infrastructure,including my direct relationship with the Kellogg,
Brown,and Root Site Manager and his 500 civilian employees.With a
$70M budget,I had direct control over all housing,buildings,food service
operations,security,construction contracts,demolition,and environmental
tasks during heavy combat operations.This was a base supporting all
military and governmental services;hence coordination had to be
maintained with all forces and governmental (American and Foreign)
agencies for housing operations and construction projects.
I also served as the Borough Manager for Ridgway,Pennsylvania
town’s water treatment plant,wastewater treatment plant,refusedepartment,public works department,and the annual $10,000,000 budgetandinvestmentportfolio.I also worked hand in hand with the local policeforceandfiredepartmentfacilitatingtheircontractsandfiscalrequirements.Maintenance operations was paramount to the successful management of AGENDA ITEM #3.A.Discussion Of Borough Manager ApplicantsPage 20 of 59
the town as the streets had to remain open 24 hours per day for all
reasons,therefore,closures,maintenance,weather,community events,
etc.had to be considered well in advance.I also worked directly with the
US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)in the flood control /mitigation
operations of the local dam;and in 2014 we experienced a 100—yearflood
which destroyed a large economic sector of the community,to include
residential areas.As such,I worked directly with politicians and leaders at
all levels in rebuilding the community and assisting the affected residents.
Most recently I served as the Operations Director for the privatized
family housing on Eielson Air Force Base,near Fairbanks,Alaska.This
consisted of managing the largest Air Force Base portfolio in the company,
including the $20,000,000 annual budget,the maintenance and upkeep of
910 single family homes,attending to the needs and home welfare of 3,000
military members and their families,and the training,safety,and welfare of
30 full and part time employees throughout the year.I also developed the
best partnership and relationship to date with United States Air Force at all
levels of Command.
Having read the job summary for this position,I have direct
experience and understanding in most,if not all,of the required duties,
responsibilities,and skills required for the duty position:
Accountability in people,finance,equipment,time
Customer focus has been my forte for my entire career
Dedication to thejob,people,and mission
integrity is above reproach
Responsiveness to bosses,peers,and teammates always
Transparency and honesty in all things
Teamwork gets the mission completed in the most difficult
and easy tasks;always approachable
My undergraduate degree is in Biology;however,my graduate
amount of experience with managing and directing large budgets,supervising personnel and their contracts,directing detailed and complexmaintenanceoperations,overseeing infrastructure management,andworkingwithotherFederalandStateagencies,I know I am ready and AGENDA ITEM #3.A.Discussion Of Borough Manager ApplicantsPage 21 of 59
distinctly qualified to successfully serve the Borough Assembly as well as
the teammates and citizens of the Borough,for many years to come.
We recently lived in North Pole,Alaska and loved it.We only left
Alaska because my wife was diagnosed with a rare disease in which she
must be treated at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and because of Covid at
that time,she could not fly.But now she can travel again and we would
love to move to Kodiak Island and experience everything Kodiak has to
offer and serve the people.
Please contact me if you have any questions.I greatly look fonNard
to hearing from you.

RE:Borough Manager Kodiak Island
Ms. Christiansen:
Please find my resume attached for your consideration. I was born and have
lived my entire life on the coast in Alabama as has my bride-to-be, a gulf coastal
Mississippi girl. We have no children but do have baggage with a four month
old bordoodle in tow. The idea of living in your climate is the only intimidating
aspect of the job and admittedly neither of us have ever driven in the snow.
I have reviewed your informational brochure related to the position. Pamela and
I are very impressed with your community and, as a realtor, she has been
Zillowing all day. We have six kayaks and fishing gear that I never get to use so
the geography and the outdoor activities are a huge plus for me personally. I am
a scuba diver and avid outdoorsman.
I believe that I have the skills you are looking for in a Manager and meet the
“technical requirements”. I have had extensive experience in planning (two
comprehensive land use plans), intergovernmental relations, contract
administration, budgeting, economic development, finance, personnel, capital
improvements/infrastructure, drafting legislation, strategic planning, and all
aspects of running a community. I was designated as an ICMA Credentialed
Manager in 2005 but I let that go when I hung up my shingle. I am assured that I
can have that reinstated in short order.
But the position of Borough Manager is one of Trust between the Manager,
Elected Officials, Staff, and the Community and I want to be a good fit. You will
find (if you were inclined to check us out on social media) that Pamela and I are
extremely community oriented and spend our time volunteering with the
Chamber of Commerce, United Way, NBI Hospital Foundation, what's left of my
beloved Boy Scouts of America, and other civic and education related
endeavors.
I am not licensed to practice law in the State of Alaska but can practice in any
Federal Court in the United States. I have no intention of continuing to practice
law but may choose to take continuing education classes that also satisfy keeping
my license in good standing.
I hope that you find my resume impressive, I have been working on it all my life,
and that I meet the requirements for the position. Thank you for your
consideration.
Best Regards,
Harry Still

County Administrator, Conecuh County
Evergreen, Alabama —2001-2003
Conecuh County was in a dire financial condition due to the decision to build a
new county jail. The project had been awarded but construction had not begun
when I came on board. It was finished on budget but not on time, but neither
would have happened if the County Administrator and members of the Public
Building Authority had not been on top of the situation. To fund this and other
projects we sought the help of our legislative delegation who passed a lodgings
tax and an increase to court costs to fund the bond issuance for a new
courthouse. Conecuh County had only one asset, a parcel of land adjacent to the
interstate. In partnership with the local hospital we sold this parcel to them with
the commitment that they would build a new hospital within ten years. We
refinanced the long term debt on the jail and with the savings and hospital money,
new lodgings and court cost funds we were able to design and bid plans for a
new courthouse.

●New Jail, New Courthouse (plans, funding, bidding)
●Industrial Recruitment

Valdez, AK 99686
Greetings, Kodiak Island Borough,
I learned about your Borough Manager position through the Alaska Municipal League Classifieds. I was
elated to see the position posting, and now, I hope my background in Coastal Alaskan municipal
administration, other management experiences, and life in Alaska will be of interest to you.
I currently work as the Assistant City Manager for the City of Valdez, where I also worked for six months as
the Interim City Manager. Additionally, I serve on the Executive Board for the International City/County
Management Association (ICMA). I’m a member of the Nooksack Indian Tribe from Washington State and I
have worked as the Assistant to the General Manager (a position now titled Chief of Staff) and the Youth
Director for my Tribal Government. Previously, I served as an elected Bellingham City Councilmember in
Washington State, which truly helps with supporting elected leaders as a manager. I hold a bachelor’s degree
in Communications and a master’s degree in Public Administration.
I’m quite familiar with the needs of Coastal Alaskan communities, and I’ve learned about the shared values
between Valdez and the Kodiak area while attending Alaska Municipal League Conferences for the last three
years. I’ve had grant and municipal finance experiences throughout my career. This has included pr oviding
grant deliverables for the Nooksack Indian Tribal Government and preparing a $55 million budget proposal
working as the Interim City Manager in Valdez. I am quite familiar with how current legislative matters are
affecting Kodiak Island as they have had a similar effect on Valdez. One of my responsibilities in Valdez is
to work with our State and Federal lobbyists on legislative matters and I have testified on behalf of Valdez
with State Legislative hearings. I worked with labor unions and amended or approved labor contracts as a
Bellingham City Councilmember. The best evidence of strong organizational and planning skills was when I
effectively worked as the Valdez Interim City Manager. With proper operations management and planning,
City Councilmembers said that I got way more accomplished than they ever thought was possible. Lastly, I
come with an array of experience working with diverse and multi-cultural communities, especially in
working for my Tribe and as a Bellingham City Councilmember. People have known me to be a bridge
builder between multicultural communities and I’m proud of the work I’ve helped with to create a better
relationship than the City of Valdez has ever had with the Valdez Native Tribe and the Chugach Native
Corporation.
I am uniquely interested in relocating to Kodiak as a year-round Alaska recreationalist who just completed a
first highly successful sport fishing season. I’ve continually learned how to navigate the stresses of municipal
management with healthy Alaskan recreation and other endeavors. I have not grown restless at all in Valdez
since recreation makes the small town gigantic. I would truly enjoy the opportunity to expand this quality of
life, while supporting and fulfilling the needs of the Kodiak Island Borough and community.
I hope to explore this position with you in greater detail and I thank you very much for your consideration.

Dear Meagan,
While the majority of my professional experience is in planning, I have worked in the North, in total,
full-time for a decade and part-time for 5 years on top of that. I have led teams very successfully,
and survived and even thrived in the world of British Columbia coastal First Nations administration.
When I was laid off, along with the rest of my colleagues, from the Alaska-to-Alberta Railway, I was
hesitant to apply for the Director of Planning position in Kodiak in part because there was a chance
that A2A Rail might resurrect, and in feeling out whether I really had much creative and new in me to
add to northern planning.
I received word today that A2A Rail is officially over for now. Very unfortunate. But it made me
decide it’s time to introduce myself to Kodiak. I open the website, and there it was: Borough
Manager! I can fill in for the planning role for a while, and be the entrepreneurial lead for a whole
chain of islands, and make use of my leadership qualities and understanding of northern
construction issues, and watch the books. You will find I am a very strategic thinker, very
entrepreneurial: one day I’ll be advocating for SpaceX to use Kodiak for all its polar orbit launches
and never use Vandenburg, and the next day I’ll be out at the county docks making sure that the
fishers have what they need for the upcoming season, the next day hiking around the aggregate
sources and finding out how many year’s supply we have, the next day visiting the fire halls and
talking to the chiefs, and the next day out at some of the outer communities. I find synergies and
potential economies of scale, and harness human talents and passions to powerful transformative
effect.
Thanks for your time, attached is CV and backgrounder documents.

Hello Meagan,
I am very excited to apply for the Borough Manager position. I have worked with Kodiak educators for the last four years
and am excited by the opportunity to bring my passion and experience to serve the communities of the Kodiak Island
Borough. My public sector experience makes me a uniquely qualified candidate for this management position.
I have spent the last five years as a public sector labor relations professional. Through my work with the Civil Servants
Employees Association and NEA-Alaska, I have successfully negotiated more than 30 collective bargaining agreements
covering water utilities employees, public work employees, county employees, emergency responders, police officers,
nurses, and educators including KIBSD personnel. I have worked across the table with a wide range of managers and this
has shaped my management philosophy; hire good people, support them to be successful, address concerns directly and
proactively. This experience has given me a broad understanding of many different areas of public sector management:
human resources, personnel actions, leadership, policy, legislative tracking, communicating with stakeholders, working
with elected officials, and budget analysis.
An organization's budget communicates its priorities, most stakeholders however do not have the experience or training to
interpret esoteric financial reports. That has been my job for the last five years. Every collective bargain includes
analyzing budgets and CAFRs to understand the fiscal situation of the employer and communicating that accurately to
stakeholders. Each bargaining proposal involves understanding policy recommendations and effectively communicating
the implications of that policy to stakeholders. Through those conversations, we build relationships that extend past the
bargaining table and can bring all stakeholders together to acheive our common mission.
In my work those relationships involve tracking legislative changes, working with elected boards, and communicating
with stakeholders. As an example, we do not expect working educators to follow the legislative proceedings regarding
Alaska Senate Bill 6. As union staff, I am responsible for following the process so I am able to advise local executive
boards as to the status and implications Senate Bill 6, the Alaska Reads Act, has for their members in K-3 education. As
democratic organizations, unions are governed by elected members representing their coworkers interests. As their staff
person, I help inform and advise those boards on issues that affect them. This takes many forms; reporting on relevant
issues, crafting effective messaging, advising short and long-range plans, and communicating those plans to members and
the public at union meetings, school board meetings, or assembly meetings.
I do this because I believe work is an act of service. I would be honored to bring my passionate dedication to serve the
people of the Kodiak Island Borough. I hope to share more with you through an interview and look forward to learning
from you the next step in the hiring process.
Sincerely,
Joshua Yeh

Re: Borough Manager Recruitment September 2021
Dear Borough Assembly:
Please accept my resume for the Borough Manager position. I learned about the job posting
through an Internet search and found my talents and experience to match the position.
Through my 29-years of experience serving within local, state and federal governments I have
developed an extensive knowledge of the day-to-day operations related to administration,
which will greatly benefit the forward movement of the Kodiak Island Borough. I can prepare
an effective budget, monitor it and execute it in an efficient manner. My past experiences will
indicate my leadership and management qualities.
Additionally, as a former government agency liaison, serving with the United States Coast
Guard I communicated with many different people and worked on various types of projects.
While working as a Director of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and Borough Manager, I
communicated with elected leadership to run a 5,700-member organization and a borough with
2,534 residents to accomplish our statutory missions. With my knack for details and evaluation
of present and future needs I will ensure alignment with the Borough Assembly’s vision and
strive for the best results.
My proven leadership experience in the U.S. Coast Guard and accomplishments make me a
great match for the Borough Manager position. I welcome a time to discuss my experience and
qualifications in more detail. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Bill Seward
