The Clerks have provided a link to the assembly for the Alaska Aerospace Pacific
Spaceport Complex Alaska Master Plan 2020-2030 Advisory Group Workbook. After

Amendment Of The Existing Alaska Clean Water Fund Loan Number 505041
(Landfill Design And Construction, Phase III – Leachate Treatment Facility) For
The Leachate Treatment Plant Upgrade And The Stage 3 Landfill Cover Projects
Arndt moved to adopt Resolution No. FY2023-10.
E/F staff have been working with the ADEC State Revolving Fund to explore the
potential for State loan funding to help with the Leachate Treatment Plant
Upgrade and the Stage 3 Landfill Cover projects.
As part of the State Revolving Fund loan application process, a resolution
authorizing the application for, and acceptance of financial assistance must be
adopted by the local governing body (city council or borough assembly). The
resolution must: (1) authorize the SRF loan application process, and (2)
authorize a designated representative of the local government to execute the
loan agreement.
The Borough presently has $1,706,635.39 remaining in Loan# 505041
associated with Phase #3 of the Lateral Expansion Project. The State allowed
the KIB to retain these funds understanding that additional work would be
required to prefect the systems. This application is for an amendment to the
original loan. It can be used for the Closure design and material cost and for the
Plant Addition it can be used for all proportional costs. To date, we have not
determined the total amount to be requested.
Arndt moved to amend Resolution No. FY2023-10 by inserting “4.5 million would
be repaid over no more than 30-year term” to line 42 and “for a loan not to exceed
4.5 Million” on line 51.

Council. KFDA's current bylaws were adopted by the initial board of directors in

their annual meeting in September.
The City of Kodiak has a similar Resolution which they adopted on August 25,

During the current contract term, the KIB Landfill shipped 14,456 CY (18 containers), for a total
cost of $44,527.12. The new contract requires a minimum of 15 open top containers per annual
contract cycle.E/F staff has estimated the total shipped to be 15,000 CY at $3.90 per CY, for a

In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, Carrier and Shipper (hereafter may be referred to individually as a “Party” or
collectively as “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:
I.ENTIRE CONTRACT
This Contract, including all attachments hereto, constitutes the full understanding of the Parties and complete and exclusive
statement of the terms of the Contract. The Contract shall replace and supersede any oral or written agreements between the
Parties that deal with the same subject matter as is referenced herein.
II.TERM
The term of this Contract is set forth in Appendix A.
III.CARGO, PAYMENT, AND SERVICE COMMITMENTS
A.This Contract covers the transportation of certain cargo moving in Carrier-provided containers in the U.S. noncontiguous
domestic trade with Alaska, as more specifically designated below. The cargo shall be transported pursuant to the rates,
terms, and conditions set forth herein and in Appendix A and Attachment 1 hereto, and subsequent revisions thereto, which
are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Contract.
B.During the term of this Contract, Shipper shall tender to Carrier for transportation a minimum volume of Contract cargo as
provided for in Appendix A (“Minimum Volume Commitment”). For the purpose of calculating volume of cargo tendered
under this Contract, the shipment shall be regarded as having been tendered according to the date entered by Carrier on the
bill of lading. For each container of Contract cargo tendered to Carrier by Shipper for transportation under this Contract,
the rates set forth in Appendix A shall apply based on the nature of the cargo, equipment type, transportation service
provided (e.g., Carrier’s marine terminal to Carrier’s marine terminal), and origin and destination. Shipper or shipper’s
agent is responsible for indicating this Contract number on its shipping instructions submitted to the Carrier for each
shipment applicable to this Contract. However, the Carrier shall reserve the right to permit cargoes not so noted to count
toward the Minimum Volume Commitment upon proof of inadvertent omission.
C.Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all cargo transported pursuant to this Contract shall be subject to all charges,
surcharges, arbitraries, assessorials, and rules, including the terms of Carrier’s bill of lading , set forth in Carrier’s tariff
applicable to the geographic scope of this Contract and published at www.matson.com, which tariff, including its charges,

D. The terms of Carrier’s bill of lading, covering individual shipments under this Contract shall apply to shipments hereunder.
In the event of a conflict among or between the terms of this Contract, Governing Tariff(s), and/or Carrier’s bill of lading,
the terms of Carrier’s bill of lading shall prevail over the terms of this Contract and/or Governing Tariff(s), and the terms
of this Contract shall prevail over the terms of the Governing Tariff(s) other than Carrier’s bill of lading terms.
E. Shipper shall book Contract cargo with Carrier a reasonable amount of time in advance of tender of cargo, and, if Shipper
needs to cancel a booking, Shipper shall do so on a timely basis. Shipper shall space cargo bookings as evenly as possible
with Carrier during the term of this Contract to enable Carrier to allocate sufficient space and equipment to satisfy
Shipper’s requirements. Shipper shall safely and securely load Contract cargo in and unload cargo from Carrier-provided
containers at the expense of Shipper.
F. Shipper shall be named as the “Shipper” and/or “Consignee” on all Carrier bills of lading covering transportation under this
Contract. All cargo moving under this Contract shall move on a non-negotiable bill of lading.
G. Carrier shall be compensated for the transportation of Contract cargo under this Contract pursuant to the rates, charges,
terms and conditions set forth in this Contract. Provided Shipper has a current Credit Agreement executed with Carrier,
Shipper shall pay Carrier all rates and charges due for each shipment under this Contract within 30 calendar days from the
date of actual sailing of vessel for each such shipment, and within 30 calendar days of the actual sailing of vessel date for
each such shipment in the case of demurrage and detention charges in connection with such shipments. Whenever Shipper
fails to make timely payment, at Carrier’s option Shipper shall prepay Carrier on a cash basis for the transportation of all
future cargo moving under this Contract until Shipper brings its payments under this Contract within the payment period
hereunder. Further, if payment is not made, Carrier shall have a lien which includes the right to retain custody of any and
all cargo and/or equipment owned or tendered to Carrier by Shipper until all past due charges are paid in full.
H. Carrier shall transport the Minimum Volume Commitment set forth in Article III.B. under this Contract on terms and
conditions set forth in this Contract, as timely booked by Shipper against available space. At Carrier’s option, and subject
to availability of space, Carrier shall transport Contract cargo tendered by Shipper in excess of the Minimum Volume
Commitment during the term of this Contract pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Contract. The Service
Commitment under this Contract is subject to the schedules and service patterns of Carrier.
IV. FORCE MAJEURE
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, to the extent that either Party may fail to satisfy any obligation imposed
under this Contract (except for a payment or confidentiality obligation) as a result of “Force Majeure”, performance of this
Contract shall, to that extent, be deemed to have been frustrated and no cause of action for breach or liability shall arise as a
consequence thereof. For the purposes of this Article, “Force Majeure” means strikes, work stoppages, lockouts or exceptional
circumstances arising from the threat thereof, Acts of God, State or the Public Enemy, including but not limited to war, acts of
nations, acts of governments, acts of independent states, riots, civil disorder or insurrection, embargo, participation in the US
Defense Department Emergency Preparedness Program, or other disruption of or interference with trade, marine disaster, fire or
other casualty. The Party suffering the Force Majeure shall diligently attempt to remove such cause or causes and shall promptly
notify the other Party of its extent and probable duration. If the Party suffering the Force Majeure is unable to remove the cause
or causes within 30 days, the other Party shall have the right at its option, to terminate, without imposition of penalty or
obligation to pay damages, this entire Contract or any portion thereof caused by the Force Majeure event. In case of Force
Majeure, the Minimum Volume Commitment and Carrier’s service commitments will be reduced on a pro rata basis for the
period or periods (including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays) during which shipments cannot be made.
V. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
If, for any cause other than a cause covered by Article IV or XII of this Contract, the Minimum Volume Commitment set forth
in Article III.B. of this Contract is not satisfied during the term of this Contract, Shipper shall pay Carrier liquidated damages in
lieu of all other damages which would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain with reasonable certainty. Liquidated damages
are determined by multiplying the difference between the number of container loads actually tendered to Carrier and the
Minimum Volume Commitment, by the amount set forth in Appendix A and designated as “liquidated damages”. Shipper shall
pay such liquidated damages to Carrier within 30 calendar days following written notification by Carrier.
VI. CONFIDENTIALITY
Except to the extent required by law, by request of a government or agency thereof, or request of a contractor pursuant to
contractual obligation with the Carrier, the Parties shall at all times keep confidential the fact of this Contract, the terms and
conditions of this Contract, and all documents and information provided to a Party under the terms of this Contract, and shall
not disclose any such information to any third party (not including a parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company), except with the
prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations under this Article shall not apply to: (i)
information that, at the time of disclosure, is, or after disclosure becomes part of, the public domain other than as a consequence
of a breach of this Contract; (ii) information that was known or otherwise available to a Party prior to its disclosure to the other
Party; or (iii) information that is independently developed by either Party. Upon breach of any obligation under this Article, the
non-disclosing Party shall have the right to terminate this Contract effective immediately; this shall be the sole remedy for such
breach.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Resolution No. FY2023-12 Of The Assembly Of The Kodiak Island Borough
Approving Funding Of The Kodiak Economic Development Corporation
(KEDC)
ORIGINATOR: Dora Cross, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Resolution No. FY2023-12.
DISCUSSION:
This resolution is at the request of Assembly Member Aimee Williams.
The attachments provided in this packet were provided by Mr. Whiddon from KEDC. Mr.
Whiddon noted in his email that KEDC is planning on applying for an EDA grant to develop a
Local Economic Development Plan (LEDP) similar to the Haines 5 year Economic Development
Plan (attached). Because KANA developed a regional CEDS (attached) that focuses primarily
on the rural regions of Kodiak, there is no current economic data for the Kodiak road system.
The LEDP would be developed in lieu of an actual CEDS and would include more specific
detailed data about key industries and economic trends in Kodiak.
Included in the packet is a Project Tracker that identifies the various projects that KEDC is
currently pursuing. Mr. Whiddon intends to update the Assembly at the meeting on Thursday
night.
The resolution, if approved, would allow the Borough to enter into a grant agreement granting
KEDC $10,000 to be used for purposes of working on the yet uncompleted tasks on the task
list presented. While these funds would not be the only fund source, and are not sufficient to
complete all tasks, they would assist in completion of these tasks, and expenditure of the funds
would be restricted to the tasks listed.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not to approve the resolution.

Letter from HEDC Board
Dear residents of the Haines Borough,
This 5-Year Economic Development Plan, along with the Economic Baseline Report, is the culmination
of eight months of work by the Haines Economic Development Corporation in cooperation with
McDowell Group. HEDC is a nonprofit corporation with a mission to realize economic development in
Haines Borough through research, community engagement, and strategic planning. As part of our first
year of work, we coordinated and facilitated these two important projects to build a base of economic
data specific to Haines and outline a plan for economic development.
This is a plan for the community and serves as a blueprint for how HEDC will facilitate economic
development over the next five years.
The following plan builds on extensive public input and economic data for the community. It is an
action plan with specific ideas that have been vetted as having community support, a high probability
of success and reward for the community and measurable outcomes. Other considerations include if
the initiative has potential for creating jobs, if HEDC will have the capacity to make it successful and if
it enhances opportunities for entrepreneurs or existing businesses and industry. The plan also leaves
the door open to consider additional projects or ideas. We’ve established policies and tools to evaluate
new ideas before committing to them, making sure they align with our goals and resources.
Our Guiding Principles are not only a map for the work we will undertake but also in how we will
operate our organization; with inclusiveness, sustainability, collaboration and leadership. Specifically,
the board commits to the following for our organization in the next five years:
● Provide continuing education and networking opportunities for HEDC staff and board
● Collaboration with other local and regional organizations
● Partnership with Haines Borough staff and elected officials
● Secure additional funding opportunities for specific initiatives and programs
● Maintain open and inclusive communication with the community
● Adherence to our founding and guiding documents
HEDC staff and board of directors is fully committed to executing this plan, in partnership with the
borough and other organizations, over the next five years for the economic benefit and health of our
community. We invite you to join us in this adventure.

This document will be used to guide the work of
the Haines Economic Development Corporation
(HEDC). The objectives and strategies provide
flexibility for HEDC to work with entrepreneurs and
businesses in all sectors. This approach also re-
flects strong support by HEDC and among Haines
residents for small business development and for
fostering residents’ entrepreneurial spirit. The plan
will also guide the actions of public and private
organizations working towards similar objectives.
Economic development is deploying a suite of
strategies that can enhance the quality of life and
economic resiliency of Haines. It requires under-
standing the local economy and the forces shap-
ing it, and identifying strategies that align with the
community’s vision, priorities, and opportunities.
The foundation for the 5-Year Economic Devel-
opment Plan is the extensive data collection and
analysis conducted in the initial project phase
and incorporated in the Economic Baseline Re-
port (June 2018). The comprehensive assessment
of Haines’ economic conditions includes data
and trends in employment, income, population,
housing, and transportation. The report includes
an analysis of Haines’ major economic sectors
including visitor, seafood, mining, health care and
senior services, and forest products. Additional
analysis is also provided on local arts and culture,
non-profits, and agriculture. In addition to gather-
ing and analyzing industry-level data, the McDow-
ell Group study team conducted more than 60
interviews to gain insights on industry trends and
opportunities.
The Economic Baseline Report also included re-
sults from a statistically representative telephone
survey of Haines residents and an online survey
allowing broad participation and input. The sur-
veys establish a baseline of community attitudes
and priorities concerning household and commu-
nity economic well-being. The project team con-
ducted public meetings at project initiation and to
review draft Economic Baseline Report findings.
Small group discussions were held at the Haines
Senior Center and Haines High School. The proj-
ect team also reviewed recent Haines planning
documents and researched best practices and
examples from other communities.
Selection of development strategies for inclu-
sion in the plan began with compilation of ideas
generated in public meetings, project interviews,
community survey responses, Haines Borough
Comprehensive Plan, project team meetings, and
HEDC board meetings. The project team exam-
ined the ideas against a set of criteria and con-
siderations that included: alignment with HEDC’s
mission, vision, guiding principles, focus areas,
and bylaws; level of community support; potential
to generate year-round jobs and enhance the tax
base; potential partners and resources; ability to
leverage public and private funding; contribution
to economic diversification and resiliency; respon-
siveness to HEDC/local influence; and, anticipated
timeframe for results. The project team and HEDC
met via teleconference and in person to review
and refine the development plan objectives and
strategies.
By implementing this plan, HEDC will help re-
tain and grow existing businesses by proactively
addressing opportunities and obstacles. HEDC
will also attract new residents seeking quality of
life and economic opportunity. Given the many
external factors beyond HEDC’s control, this plan
will enhance Haines’ economy through empower-
ment of residents and provide needed flexibility to
address things currently unforeseen.

Key findings from the Economic Baseline Report
are summarized in the following section to provide
context for the development plan initiatives.
Population and
Demographics
Haines’ popula-
tion has gradually
declined since
2012 due largely
to outmigration.
Compared to the
statewide average,
Haines’ residents are considerably older (49.3 vs.
34.9). One-third of the population is 60 or older
(increasing by 51 percent since 2007). In con-
trast, those under
20 decreased by
11 percent and
those aged 40-59
decreased by 24
percent.
Haines experienced
a 9 percent decline in
wage and salary em-
ployment and an 11
percent decline in total
wages since 2007. Total
employment, however,
has remained relative-
ly stable due to a 10
percent increase in
self-employment
since 2012.
The growing
number of retir-
ees influences
Haines’ reliance
on non-earnings
income, which
is significantly
greater than the
statewide average
(51 percent vs. 34
percent).
Haines Borough business sales tax receipts in
2017 totaled nearly $3.2 million, up 6 percent from
2016. Retail and tourism sectors accounted for
most of the increase.

The Haines economy is built on a diverse mix
of business and government activity. While the
tourism, seafood, and health care sectors have
the largest economic footprints in the community,
mining, the arts, forest products, and other activ-
ities are also part of the community’s economic
fabric. Further, Haines is in an enviable position of
having several industry sectors with strong current
or future growth prospects.
Haines hosted approximately 130,000 visitors in
2017. The largest market segment was cruise ship
visitors, with 51,200 passengers on ships docked
in Haines and 43,000 passengers from ships
docked in Skagway. Cruise passengers calling
directly in Haines are projected at 68,100 passen-
gers in 2019.
Employment in Haines’ leisure and hospitality
sector averaged 210 jobs in 2016, with $4.4 mil-
lion total wages. Peak season employment in the
sector reached approximately 370 jobs in July and
August 2016. These figures do not include jobs
and wages generated by visitor spending in the
retail or transportation sectors.

In 2016, Haines residents held 160 limited entry
permits and owned 86 commercial fishing vessels;
an additional 96 residents participated as crew.
Over a ten-year period, harvest value ranged be-
tween a high of $9.3 million in 2012 and a low of
$5 million in 2015, after adjusting for inflation.
The health care and social services sectors ac-
counted for 162 jobs and an estimated $5.7
million in annual wages. There are 14 employers in
the health care and social services sector. With 59
employees, SEARHC is one of the largest employ-
ers in Haines and the primary health care provider.
In 2016, the mining industry directly accounted for
79 jobs. The Palmer Project employed 64 workers,
mostly seasonal, with half based in Haines. The
community is currently home to 31 Kensington
Mine and Greens Creek Mine employees.
Haines’ arts sector includes visual arts, performing
arts, and numerous arts organizations. A recent
survey indicated that 80 residents had full-time or
part-time earnings from the arts, including artists,
teachers, employees of galleries and museums,
and arts-related non-profits.
Haines’ forest products industry includes three
small commercial mill operators and numerous
small-scale operations supporting local construc-
tion as well as manufacturing of furniture, cabi-
nets, boats, musical instruments, skis, and more.
A state-sponsored timber harvest could offer up
to 150 million board feet of Haines area timber
over the next decade.
Additional sectors with significant impact in
Haines include:
Government: 197 jobs and $15.7 million in wages.
Retail: 192 jobs and $4.7 million in wages.
Accommodation & food service: 176 jobs and $3.2 million in wages.
Entertainment & recreation: 151 jobs and $3.3 million in wages (this sector overlaps with arts and culture).
Further information on Haines economic

The development plan reflects the
guiding principles, focus areas,
and feedback articulated by HEDC
board, staff, and community.
“Development strategies are grouped into
near term, mid term, and long term—
recognizing level of urgency, time needed
for implementation, and HEDC capacity.
The plan also recognized the Economic
Development strategies outlined in the
Haines Borough Comprehensive Plan,
adopted in 2012.”
HEDC Guiding Principles
FORMATION: Through public funding, a public/private partnership exists between the community and HEDC to support and realize economic development goals.
EDUCATION: Our goal is to help the community understand what “economic development” and “economic health” mean and explore the opportunities this effort presents.
INITIATIVES: We will initiate programs and promote public policies that further the community’s economic development goals. Initiatives will be considered for both short-term and long-term development and will be measured for effectiveness in moving the community toward its goals.
INCLUSIVENESS: Economic development is for the benefit of all borough residents. HEDC will advance concepts and ideas through information, research, education, and analysis that inform community discussions. We recognize the qualities that draw economic development to our community without effort and will build on those assets to maximize our planning efforts.
Haines Economic Development Plan
SUSTAINABILITY: HEDC will lead the community in efforts that strive to meet the needs of our community now, without compromising the ability of our future generations of the borough to meet their own needs in maintaining economic health.
FACILITATION: All opinions and ideas from the community will be considered when discussing economic development ideas and goals. We will emulate and facilitate civil discussions in striving for inclusion in economic planning. HEDC will make economic planning engaging and thought provoking. HEDC will encourage the sharing of ideas and discourage uncivil or distracting rhetoric in our planning efforts.
COLLABORATION: We are fueled by a combination of energetic long-time residents and newcomers anxious to share their skills, talents and experience. We invite and embrace the contributions of all residents in sustaining our economic health as a community.
LEADERSHIP: Through a conscious commitment to our Guiding Principles, HEDC will dedicate resources, initiate programs, and promote policies that realize economic development.
“In our efforts, we will strive to focus
on the following areas:”
HEDC Focus Areas
Our community’s knowledge and understanding of economic planning and economic health
Our entrepreneurial and small business opportunities
Opportunities for existing or burgeoning industries
Training and mentoring opportunities for the trades industry
Our natural resources to provide continued opportunity and sustenance for residents and a distinctive experience for visitors

Business
Retention and
Expansion (BRE)
One of the most commonly employed tools
by economic development practitioners globally
is a Business Retention and Expansion program
(BRE). The program strengthens the relationship
between a community and its existing
businesses and improves the overall business
climate. Most job growth and investment is
created by established businesses and residents
that have a vested interest in the community.
There is great merit in helping businesses
expand, and supporting those that are struggling,
since any jobs lost due to business closures
are difficult to replace with outside business
attraction and investment.
Though there are varying degrees of complexity
across BRE programs, they are generally
cost-effective to implement and capable of
leveraging community assets. Through regular
and formalized contact, such as structured
interviews, an economic development
professional is able to flag companies that need
support and proactively connect it to appropriate
support programs. Additionally, an economic
developer is able to identify broader community
issues and policies that may be damaging the
economic vitality of its business climate or
suppressing entrepreneurship. While not an
absolute necessity, numerous BRE software tools
have been developed to assist the practitioner
in executing surveys and organizing resulting
information, thus providing cost-effective
solutions that increase productivity and impacts.
While BRE programs focus on established
businesses, they also play a key role in
supporting aspiring entrepreneurs. Many BRE
programs incorporate an external marketing and
community awareness component to promote
opportunities and ensure that those looking to
start a business are aware of its services. As the
program develops, and community members
become more familiar with the economic
development agency, more individuals will seek
its services through referral.

Opportunity Zones
Enacted as part of the 2017 tax reform
package (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), Opportunity
Zones are intended to stimulate investment and growth
in persistently low-income census tracts by allowing private
investors to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting capital
gains in qualified projects. With trillions of dollars in unrealized
capital gains in stocks and mutual funds, the new program is
intended to redirect investment to the 8,700 recently designated
communities nationwide (including Haines). All investments must
be made through a certified Opportunity Fund, an investment
vehicle organized as a corporation or partnership specifically for
the investment. Additional incremental incentives are realized by
holding investments for five, seven, and ten years.
Examples of Opportunity Zone Investments
Commercial real estate development and renovation in
Opportunity Zones.
Opening new businesses in Opportunity Zones.
Expansion of existing businesses into Opportunity Zones.
Large expansions of businesses already within Opportunity
Zones.
Investor Benefits:
Temporary tax deferral on capital gains reinvested in an Opportunity
Fund until the opportunity zone investment date of sale or December
31, 2026. Any appreciation on investments held more than 10 years
will not be subject to capital gains tax.
A five-year investment reduces the original capital gain tax liability to
90% of original gain.
A seven-year investment reduces the original capital gain tax liability
to 85% of original gain.
Program Benefits:
Unlocks equity capital.
Rewards patient capital.
Flexibility—may be used to finance most projects (some “sin”
businesses excluded).
Does not pick winners and losers.
Ties investors to community success.
Incentivizes local investors to reinvest in their community.
No cap on amount of capital that can flow into Opportunity Zones.

Mentorship Program
Located 34 miles outside of Asheville, North
Carolina, Brevard is a city of 6,643 with a
large retiree population. Brevard suffered multiple
plant closures in 2002, including three large employers
representing a total loss of 2,200 jobs. Faced with this exodus,
the community recognized the talent and combined knowledge
represented in its retiree population and began working to build a
cadre of retirees willing to offer free consulting services to local
businesses and entrepreneurs.
Supported by funding from a Community Development Block Grant,
the county economic development office hired a program coordi-
nator to oversee the Retiree Resource Network program. Utilizing
personal connections, extended social networks, and general public
outreach, the program succeeded in attracting the services of 68
volunteers representing diverse skill sets with backgrounds ranging
from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Each volunteer
was interviewed to determine the full extent of their skills, and this
information was indexed to be able to later match with prospective
businesses.
As companies and entrepreneurs were identified as needing support, the
economic development coordinator arranged an in-depth interview. Af-
terward, the matchmaking process occurred to introduce the business/
entrepreneur and consultant/mentor.
Between 2004 and May of 2007, 25 consulting matches were made
in Brevard. For participant businesses and entrepreneurs, the service
offered top-quality consulting support for free that allowed them to
grow and expand; many would have otherwise been unable to afford to
pay a private consulting firm for this service. Additionally, the program
provided an opportunity to bring together community members that
would have otherwise not intersected and created a shared interest in
continued economic development and growth.
(Note: While this example focused on retirees, there is nothing limiting a
mentorship program to retirees. Haines may cast a wider net to include
those willing to assist who are still in the labor pool.)

Promoting Rural
Child Care
Across rural America, “child care deserts” are
increasingly being identified as major impediments to economic
development. Workers have to quit their jobs or move away from
towns without daycare options. Even in areas with strong econo-
mies and growing populations, many childcare centers have closed.
Revenues are frequently insufficient to justify staying in business
and regulations can be onerous. many childcare owners/workers
can make more money working rudimentary part-time jobs. Facing a
growing shortage of workers— businesses, nonprofits, government
agencies, and economic developers are working to find innovative
solutions to support rural child care services.
In New York Mills, Minnesota (population: 1,100), local business
Brunswick Boat Group (manufacturer of Lund boats) expressed they
were losing employees due to a lack of day care during a community
public meeting. In response, the local economic development agency
worked with local employers and nonprofits to create a day care
cooperative to be based in an unused office building owned by the
county. At full capacity, the center can accept up to 36 children. In
addition to subsidizing facility rent, local businesses and the county
also guaranteed a minimum payment. The provider has earnings
security and businesses are assured employees have access to
daycare.
This is one of many examples that have been pursued via the Rural
Child Care Innovation Program, a joint program offered to select rural
Minnesota communities by First Children’s Finance and the State
of Minnesota. Since its beginning in 2013, 11 Community Solution
Action Plans have been developed, yielding 533 new childcare slots
as well as helping to sustain and fortify existing childcare businesses.

Shames Mountain
(Terrace, British Columbia)
Canada’s first non-profit ski community cooperative, Shames Mountain
was purchased in 2012 following its closure in 2011 after several un-
profitable years of operation. To purchase and renovate the ski area, local
community members formed My Mountain Co-op, which sold member-
ship shares to individuals and businesses in Terrace and Prince Rupert.
Today, Shames has more than 1,300 members who receive discounts
on lift tickets and season passes to access its 1600 vertical feet spread
over 250 acres—with access to much more side-country. With just two
chairlifts and one tow-bar, a basic lodge offering food and a rental shop,
Shames’ operates on a lean budget thanks to a bootstrap approach,
donations, a small paid staff, and volunteer support. Today, Shames hosts
approximately 20,000 skier visits annually and provides a boost to the
community, nearby helicopter and cat-ski operators, and winter economy
of Terrace, located 35 KM to the east. Shames’ success has also contrib-
uted to weekly flights from Vancouver increasing from 7 to 34.

Hankin-Evelyn Backcountry Ski Area
(Smithers, British Columbia)
Located near Smithers, BC, Hankin-Evelyn a is volunteer-operated back-
country ski resort featuring 13 cleared ski runs, a warming hut, an out-
house, a transceiver checker, and access to 3,770 hectares of backcoun-
try terrain. While the area is mapped and signed, there are no employees
and access is free (with a recommended donation). The area receives
approximately 4,000 skiers annually. Critical to its success was partnering
Small-Community Winter Recreation Areas
with local land managers to reactivate old logging roads and maximize
the impact of forest treatments for skiers in select areas. Additionally,
a devoted team of volunteers support upkeep and maintenance of the
area, which also features a multi-use cabin available for overnight use.
In addition to maintenance and administration costs, the main operating
cost is snow plowing and removal to ensure that guests can drive to the
area’s base. www.hankinmtn.com
Silverton Mountain
(Silverton, CO)
Located in the southwestern Colorado town of Silverton (population
642), Silverton Mountain is a single-lift ski area that provides guests with
lift-accessed backcountry skiing with minimal facilities typically associ-
ated with ski resorts (the base area consists of a tent and portable toilets
with no running water). Originally conceived of in 1999, the owner cob-
bled together 220 acres of mining claims on terrain that provided 2,000
vertical feet of skiing, purchased a second-hand ski lift, and slowly began
to build the area (largely by hand) with financial support from the Region
9 Economic District of Southwest Colorado. After a five-year permitting
process with the BLM, Silverton Mountain expanded its skiable terrain to
1,300 acres in 2005. In 2009, the area began operating heli-skiing tours
near Silverton (Silverton Mountain also recently expanded into Seward,
AK), with the mountain remaining a coveted ski destination as well as a
poor weather and poor snow stability option for visiting skiers.
Today, Silverton Mountain regularly sells out its guided tickets (unguid-
ed skiing is only available in late March/early April) and has helped
transform Silverton’s winter economy, which previously was virtually
non-existent. Year-round residency is stable, unemployment is at 4.1%
(2015, down from 11.5% in 1999), restaurants and hotels now operate
year-round, sales tax revenues have grown substantially, and Silverton
Mountain is the community’s largest employer, with approximately 40
employees. Venture Snowboards, a local snowboard manufacturer that
began in 2006, also partners with Silverton Mountain. http://silverton-

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Creating and maintain a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy is a continual process
that requires observation, reflection, and participation in conferences, work groups, and boards.
The compilation of large amounts of information, gathered from talking to people; reading
reports, newspapers, journals, and books; and many more sources is only the start. Arranging all
of the ideas, concepts, and information into a logical order and developing meaningful goals and
objectives that provide a roadmap to improving the economic conditions of the region is the main
focus of the CEDS document.
This version of the CEDS, for purposes of establishing an “official” document is complete. The
DRAFT version was posted on June 30, 2017 to allow for public comment period.
A comprehensive CEDS benefits the Kodiak region and provides a clear roadmap of the action plan
implementation. Over the course of the next year, the proposed Scope of Work includes two
planning meetings in each village to further develop this CEDS document including more detailed
Action Plans and Evaluation Framework to more fully encompass the overall strategy.
Stakeholders throughout the region overwhelmingly responded that continual improvement and
updates are essential. Efforts must be made to keep out Economic Development strategy from
becoming stale and irrelevant.
KEY FINDINGS:
The initial version of the CEDS contained four Economic Clusters:
o Energy
o Fisheries/Maritime
o Food Security
o Coastal Impact Assistance Program – Village Metals Backhaul Project (Completed
Project – CEDS content will be removed from go-forward versions)
In the two years since the release of the initial CEDS, meetings have been held in each of the villages
and in Kodiak. Through the open discussion process, four additional Economic Clusters have been
identified. These four additional Economic Clusters are proposed to be included in the Economic
Development Strategy:
o Environmental
o Tourism
o Technology – Internet Connectivity
o Business Development
These 8 CEDS goals are not all inclusive of each of the Economic Opportunities that exist with the
Kodiak Region. Rather, they are the most universally discussed on a regional basis during the
preparatory work that was completed to develop this document. Opportunity remains to build
additional scope within the CEDS to capture the other Economic opportunities throughout the
Kodiak Region. Further, as Economic Development projects and initiatives address the Economic
Cluster, Cluster deletions may occur as well.

Introduction: Kodiak Area Native Association
(KANA)
This Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy document
was developed by the Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA)
in collaboration with individuals and organizations at the local,
regional, and community level, using existing and new data that
accurately reveals the complex economic issues facing the Alutiiq
people of the Koniag Region. The Koniag region is made up
of Kodiak Island and the Kodiak Archipelago and a small portion of the southern coast of
the Alaska Peninsula.
KANA, founded in 1966, is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit corporation and one of twelve regional Alaska
Native nonprofit corporations that provides a wide range of services as ensured under the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act, including medical, dental, and various social service programs.
KANA provides these services in 15 facilities to the over 3,000 Native residents of the Kodiak
Archipelago in seven communities that include the City of Kodiak and six remote Alaska Native
villages of Akhiok, Karluk, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, Port Lions, and Larsen Bay.
Services provided by KANA include Ambulatory Medical Care and Dental Care, Pharmacy,
Contract Health, Community Health Aide Program, Substance Abuse Prevention,
Intervention/Outreach, Social Services, non-clinical community Mental Health, and Youth
Prevention Projects. Other services provided by the organization include the Women, Infant and
Children (WIC) program, Vocational Rehabilitation, Early Childhood programs, Education,
Employment and Training programs, Infant Learning Program, a full service Fitness Center and
Tribal Operations/Environmental Health.
Historically, nonprofit corporations such as KANA were formed throughout Alaska prior to the
Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) enactment. The ANCSA settlement is an agreement
between the United States Government and the Alaska Native Tribes. The ANCSA legislation
distributed land to regional and village entities to establish for-profit corporations. Each of the
regional for-profit corporations formed a separate non-profit corporation to assist their members
with health and social service needs. KANA exists through the resolutions of the Tribal
Governments of the Koniag region, under P.L. 93-638, the Indian Self-Determination Act and is
governed by an eleven-member Board of Directors.

The Mission of KANA is:
“To eleva te the qua l i ty of li fe of the p e ople we serve.”
The Envisioned Future of KANA is:
“The best quali ty c a re i s a va i l a bl e to a ll people on Ko di ak I sla nd.”
US Economic Development Administration Native Planning Grant
KANA is a recipient of a US Economic Development Administration (EDA) Native Planning
Grant. Within KANA’s organizational structure, KANA's EDA Program is part of the Community
Services Department. The Economic Development Project Manager works in collaboration with
local City, Borough, public and private sectors, as well as village entities with the goal of improving
the economic status of Kodiak Island’s rural villages and the region as a whole. The Regional
Community Plan document will be the framework in which we can advocate and provide
technical assistance to Kodiak’s Alutiiq communities to ensure a strong economic future for
generations to come. It was agreed upon from the participants of our regional CEDS planning
meeting that this document will be named the Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Community
Plan. This Economic Development Planning project will focus on serving the six village communities
located in the Kodiak Archipelago (Akhiok, Karluk, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, and Port
Lions) and the Kodiak road system as the hub for the village communities. The Kodiak road system
includes the City of Kodiak, which contains services and businesses that support the rural areas of the
region. Increasing economy prosperity in the hub community is necessary to increase the economic
prosperity of the village communities.

Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Strategy Committee
The strategy committee responsible for participating in, producing and updating the current
Regional Community Plan document is listed below. As the remote villages of the Kodiak
Archipelagos are encompassed by the Kodiak Island Borough they are also represented on Kodiak’s
CEDS committee by either city and/or tribal representatives from each remote village. Village
representatives, KANA staff members, community leaders, business owners, industry
representatives and stake holders in Kodiak’s economy all serve on this committee “to help develop
strong economies and healthy communities by providing leadership and information to increase
Kodiak Island’s economic position.” It is vital that these two CEDS committees communicate, work
together and ensure continuity with one another in order to effectively pursue both State and
Federal funding for the region’s needs and projected projects.

Background and Information for Planning
The People of Kodiak Island
The Alutiiq people of Alaska are a part of the continuum of Alaska coastal maritime peoples. The
Alutiiq, or Suqpiaq, have inhabited their ancestral homelands for approximately 10,000 years and
include four main subdivisions or nations: Prince William Sound, the lower Kenai Peninsula, the
Alaska Peninsula and the Kodiak Archipelago. Like hundreds of similar Alutiiq settlements along
the Gulf of Alaska, the people of the Kodiak Archipelago were skilled mariners who depended on
the sea for the necessities of life. The Alutiiq had a bartering economic system, trading goods and
services as needed with their neighbors from the Aleutian chain to Southeast Alaska. The Alutiiq
believed that all things, living or not, possess a spirit, which they honored.
By AD 1200, Alutiiq society flourished in every corner
of the Archipelago, the population is estimated by
some based on the archeological record to have
reached 14,000 with as many as 50 winter
communities. In huge open skin boats, a wealth of
Kodiak resources – hard black slate, red salmon, bear
hides, and spruce root -- were transported to the
mainland and exchanged for antler, ivory, horn, animal
pelts and exotic stone.
The first outsiders to settle on the island were Russian
explorers under Grigory Shelikhov, who founded a
Russian settlement on Kodiak Island at Three Saints
Bay near the present-day village of Old Harbor.
Shelikhov’s mission was to establish a permanent
settlement on Kodiak Island, so as to restrict the inroads of British fur traders and expand the sea
otter hunting industry for his company. The Russian-American Company was established by Royal
Russian Decree in 1799, and it was headed by Alexander Baranov. Baranov
led the company for 19 years, building a lucrative fur trading enterprise
trapping and selling sea otter pelts. But by the middle of the 19th century,
the sea otter populations were driven almost to extinction.
He and his men, equipped with modern artillery, defeated the Alutiiq people
in a series of battles and subdued the islanders. Russian colonization had a
devastating effect on the local Native population as a result of forced labor
(i.e., slavery). By the time Alaska became a U.S. Territory in 1867, the Koniag
Region Alutiiq people had almost disappeared as a viable culture. Their
culture and history was retained by a handful of families in each community.
The culture is currently undergoing an historic revitalization that includes
culture camps, language, and our own internationally recognized Alutiiq
Museum.

Physical Geography
The island group known as the Kodiak Archipelago is situated on the western side of the Gulf of
Alaska. The Kodiak Archipelago and a portion of the Alaska Peninsula are within the Kodiak Island
Borough. The City of Kodiak, the main port of entry to the Borough and its environs, is 252 air miles
south and west of Anchorage (a one hour flight), accessible by plane or boat only.
The Borough encompasses a 29,000 square mile area, which includes approximately 6,500 square miles
of land, including lakes and rivers, approximately 23,000 square miles of coastal waters and 5,500 miles
of shoreline. The Archipelago contains 162 named islands and nearly 1,500 unnamed islands,
accounting for approximately 74% of the total Borough land area.
Kodiak Archipelago consists primarily of mountainous terrain, the tallest peak being Koniag at 4,500
feet on Kodiak Island. With the exception of the lowlands and broad valleys of the southwestern
portion of Kodiak Island, the Archipelago coastline is rocky and rugged. Short, swift and clear
mountain streams drain the uplands.
Kodiak Island is the largest island in the Archipelago and is the second largest island in the United
States. The north and east sides of Kodiak Island are heavily forested. Wetlands, grasslands and brush
dominate the Island’s south end. Commercial stands of timber, primarily Sitka Spruce, exist on the
north end of Kodiak Island as well as Afognak Island. Kodiak Island has numerous deep, ice-free bays
that provide sheltered anchorage for boats. The southwestern two-thirds of the island, like much of the
Kodiak Archipelago, is part of Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.
Kodiak Island is home to eight communities; the City of Kodiak, and the remote communities of
Akhiok, Karluk, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, Port Lions and Chiniak. Within these eight
communities, Kodiak Island is home to ten federally recognized Tribes. There are no roads connecting
the hub city of Kodiak with the outlying villages, with the exception of Chiniak. Village residents rely on
transportation by boat or commercial airlines for travel in and out of their communities.
The climate of Kodiak Island is characterized by moderately heavy precipitation and cool temperatures
with frequent high clouds, fog, and high winds. These weather patterns often times result in restricted
travel. High winds and icing are frequent during the winter, with storm winds produced by systems in
the Gulf of Alaska that often sustain speeds from 50 to 75 knots.
However, Kodiak’s climate is favorable for over three hundred species of plants, many of which were
used by inhabitants for food, medicine, and shelter. The deep fjords of Kodiak Island provide an
abundant habitat for fish and marine mammals. Five species of salmon, herring and halibut are all found
in Kodiak Island waters, providing commercial, subsistence and sports fishing resources. Marine
mammals such as whales, sea lions, and seals are frequent visitors. Shellfish including tanner, Dungeness
crab, and clams are also plentiful. Clams within the archipelago frequently test with elevated levels of
Paralytic Shellfish toxins above the FDA regulatory limit, where human consumption is not
recommended.

13 Borough Lands
The Kodiak Island Borough is entitled to roughly 56,500 acres of land within the Kodiak
Archipelago. Most of this land was originally obtained and selected under municipal entitlement act
from the State of Alaska; the configuration of other parcels is the result of land trades with the State.
Over 50 percent of Borough land is located on Shuyak Island and Raspberry Island; Ugak Bay and
Hidden Basin also include numerous pockets that total a sizeable portion of Borough land acreage.
Lease and disposal of Borough lands are subject to approval by the Borough Assembly. The Kodiak
Island Borough zoning ordinance contains 18 zoning districts: Watershed (W); Wildlife Habitat
(WH), Natural Use Lands (NU); Conservation (C); Rural Development (RD); Rural Residential
(RR); Rural Residential One (RR1); Rural Residential Two (RR2); Single Family Residential (R1);
Two Family Residential (R2); Multi-Family Residential (R3); Business (B); Rural Neighborhood
Commercial (RNC); Urban Neighborhood Commercial (UNC); Retail Business (RB); Light
Industrial (LI); Industrial (I); and Public Use Lands (PL). New zoning scheme is in the works.
Recreational land use includes 11 municipal parks totaling 60 acres in size.
(Kodiak.org)
Federal Lands
Much of the Borough contains land managed by federal authorities. The major federal land owner
on Kodiak Island is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). USFWS manages the Kodiak
National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR), which comprises 1.8 million acres of the archipelago, a
portion of the Becharof and Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge (APNWR), and the
Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (AMNWR). KNWR is managed primarily as habitat for
the Kodiak Brown Bear, the largest bear in the world. The USFWS is the largest single land
manager in the Borough. The refuges are managed as multiple use areas and allow a wide variety of
uses that do not interfere with the primary purpose of each refuge. The Borough boundary on the
west, across Shelikof Strait, includes a portion of Katmai National Park managed by the
Department of the Interior, National Park Service, The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and the
Department of Transportation. The U.S. Coast Guard Support Center Kodiak, which is located
near the Kodiak urban area, contains over 21,000 acres.
A portion of the scattered small rural parcels in the Borough are federal trust lands. Except for
Native Allotments and Federal Town site lots, no other federal trust lands, such as Indian
reservations, exist in the Borough. These parcels are held in trust by the federal government in the
name of the owner. The activities on the parcel and any transfer of title must be approved by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Since they are federal trust lands, the parcels are exempt from most
local and state regulations, as well as taxation, until ownership is transferred. Federal environmental
laws such as NEPA and the Clean Air and Water Acts do apply.
(Kodiak.org)
State Lands
The most significant State lands in the Borough are the region’s vast tidelands. The State does own a
significant amount of upland area in the Borough. Most State uplands are in the northeast part of
the Borough near the City of Kodiak and south around Ugak Bay to Dangerous Cape. State land
selections are now complete in the Borough and new additions to state ownership are not likely. The

Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages most state land in the Borough. A few
areas have had management authority transferred to other State agencies. The Alaska Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities manages roads and airport facilities, the Alaska Department of
Fish and Game (ADF&G) manages the Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area and the Division of
State Parks within DNR manages state park lands. State parks accessible by road include: Fort
Abercrombie, Buskin River and Pasagshak State Recreation Sites. A large portion of Shuyak Island is
an undeveloped state park accessible only by water or air. The newest State park in the borough is
located on the northern coast of Afognak Island. In total, 5 state parks throughout Kodiak Island
comprise 56,448 acres.
(Kodiak.org)
Private Lands
The greatest growth among land ownership categories in the Borough has been privately held lands.
Most of the lands selected by the Native regional corporation, Koniag, and the village corporations
have been transferred for management or patented to the corporations. Over 750,000 acres of land
have been transferred to these private corporations. This amounts to about 17 percent of the total
land mass of the Borough. Much of this acreage, such as that on Afognak Island, was selected for
timber resources or other development potential. However, some of this acreage was selected from
within Wildlife Refuges and contains areas with high habitat values for fish and wildlife. Over the
past several years, money from the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill settlement has allowed the federal
government to repurchase much of this land. The surface estate to former Wildlife Refuge lands is
subject to regulation to ensure its protection in a manner that will not materially impair the values
for which the refuge was established and the subsurface estate (mineral rights) to such land was
retained by the federal government. Except for lands previously part of a Wildlife Refuge, the
subsurface estate of all Native lands is owned by Koniag, Inc.
(Kodiak.org)
Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) Lands
Collectively, as the largest private land owners’ in the archipelago, the ANCSA corporations have
the greatest potential for both resource development and other development opportunities. ANCSA
lands in the region have been developed in a variety of ways including: logging; tourism facilities and
activities; residential real estate development; federal and state land acquisition through the Exxon
Valdez Oil Spill Council habitat restoration activities; mining; and gravel and rock sales. (SWAMC CEDS

Kodiak Area Native Association – Kodiak Rural Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy – June 2017
An impact was made on the state of Alaska, including the Native people of Kodiak Island, when the
ANCSA was signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon on December 18, 1971. The largest
claims settlement in United States history, ANCSA was intended to resolve the long standing issues
surrounding aboriginal land claims in Alaska, as well as to stimulate economic development. The
settlement extinguished Alaska Native claims as obligated under the Treaty of Cession with Russian
in 1867, by transferring titles to twelve Alaska Native regional corporations and over 200 local
village corporations.
Koniag, Inc., one of the thirteen Alaska Native Regional Corporations created under ANCSA, was
incorporated in Alaska on June 23, 1972 by the Alutiiq People of the Kodiak Archipelago. At
incorporation, Koniag, Inc. enrolled about 3,400 Alaska Native shareholders. ANCSA regional and
village corporations selected land in and around existing Native villages in the State in proportion to
their enrolled populations. The regional and village corporations are now owned by Alaska Native
people through privately owned shares of corporation stock.
In 1971 Koniag received $24 million as its share of the $962 million cash settlement approved by
Congress, along with the rights to 161,664 acres of surface lands and 773,687 acres of subsurface
rights as its share of approximately 45 million acres of lands transferred to newly formed Alaska
Native corporations in the settlement act. Koniag has about 3,700 shareholders, about half who live
in Alaska and half in the Lower 48 states. Koniag’s original land entitlement under ANCSA was 895
acres plus the subsurface estate of lands allocated to village corporations in the Koniag Region.
Complications of the land selection process, especially the lack of available land given the region’s
long history of non-native settlement, led to land exchanges through which Koniag was permitted to
select subsurface rights in lands along the coast of the Alaska Peninsula across Shelikof Strait from
Kodiak Island. Later, some of the Alaska Peninsula lands were exchanged for land on Afognak
Island.

Population
The population of the Kodiak Island Borough, according to the 2016 estimates from the Alaska
Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development, is 13,563, including the
outlying villages. The total population of the Kodiak Archipelago villages is 765.
Accumulatively, the village p opulations were 74% Alaskan Native/American Indian, 18%
Caucasian, 6% two or more races, 2% Hispanic and less than 1% of both Asian/Pacific Islander
and African American. These numbers reflect the most current demographic information, based
on the 2010 census. The Kodiak Island Borough appears to be experiencing a slow-but-long- term
shift in racial and ethnic distribution. The 2000 Census Bureau shows no significant increase in
both the ‘Asian/Pacific Islander’ and ‘Hispanic Origin’ categories. In 2000, 17% of the population
belonged to the ‘Asian/Pacific Islander’ group. By 2010, this group remained at 17%. Conversely,
the proportions for ‘Whites’ decreased from 59% in 2000 to 55% in 2010. The ‘Native American’
and ‘African American’ groups saw very small changes, on the order of 1-percent. (Kodiak.org)

Rural Native villages in the Kodiak region
Akhiok is a coastal maritime community located on the south end of Kodiak Island; west side of
Alitak Bay between Kemph and Moser Bay. It is about 98 air miles southwest of Kodiak City and
340 air miles southwest of Anchorage. Transportation to and from the island is limited to small
plane and private marine vessel, as there are no roads connecting Akhiok to any of the other villages
or to the City of Kodiak. The terrain surrounding Akhiok is made up of low hills, tundra like valleys
and flat land, home to roughly 85 people. Residents of the community are predominantly Alutiiq
with a small number of Caucasian and Filipino. Their serene village is home to an abundance of
animal life, all of which sustain the subsistence lifestyle of the Akhiok residents.
The City of Akhiok was incorporated in 1974 and is a second class city within the Kodiak Island
Borough system. Akhiok has a seven–member city council from which the mayor and other officers
are selected. Two federally recognized tribal councils, Akhiok Tribal Council and Kaguyak Tribal
Council, are recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as the official tribal governing bodies of the
community of Akhiok. Although they are eligible to administer a variety of federal programs,
including local health care, employment assistance and other social services they assign their federal
contracting authority to Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA) by resolution. KANA in turn,
administers the programs and provides essential services.

Larsen Bay is located near the junction of Larsen Bay and Uyak Bay fjords on the northwest coast of
Kodiak Island. The Alutiiq village of Larsen Bay is located 60 miles southwest of the City of Kodiak
and 283 miles southwest of Anchorage. Larsen Bay can only be accessed by small commuter airlines
that service the area or by private marine vessels. Floatplanes land in the waters in and near the
community servicing the community and outlying gillnet camps and sites.
Larsen Bay was incorporated as a second class city in 1974. The seven members of the Larsen Bay
City Council are elected to three-year staggered terms. The mayor is a member of the city council,
and is elected by the membership of the city council to a one-year term. The City of Larsen Bay
provides electricity, water, sewer, road maintenance, and solid waste disposal. A small hydroelectric
plant located about a mile from the community generates electricity. 3.5 miles of gravel roadway
are maintained by the City of Larsen Bay.
The seven member Larsen Bay Tribal Council serves as the tribal government for Alaska Native
residents of Larsen Bay. Issues of concern to the tribal government include health care, social
services, and tribal operations.
A commercial fish cannery was first established in Larsen Bay in 1912. This cannery, still in
operation, is one of only two remaining canneries operating on Kodiak Island that are not located in
the City of Kodiak. The cannery only operates during the salmon fishing season and generally does
not employ local Larsen Bay residents, choosing instead to employ foreign workers willing to work for
low wages.
There are about 88 residents of the village, with 76% being of Alaska Native descent. During the
summer months the population of the village of Larsen Bay more than doubles as the commercial
salmon fishery gets underway. Summer and fall are characterized by an influx of tourists in search of
world class sports-fishing, bear viewing, hunting, and site seeing. As the fisheries have been in
decline since the 1980’s, this tourism based on sports fishing and hunting has developed into a larger
economic presence in the village. As a result, numerous lodges have emerged, primarily operating
between the months of May and October. Most of these lodges are not owned and operated by
local Larsen Bay residents, resulting in disputes regarding the zoning between the lodge owners and
the local residents.

The community of Old Harbor is located on the southeast side of Kodiak Island in Sitkalidak Strait off the
Gulf of Alaska. The community is about 70 miles southwest of Kodiak and 300 miles southwest of
Anchorage. Placed at the base of steep mountains, the physical topography around Old Harbor is very rugged.
Old Harbor has three distinctive small neighborhood sites. Old Harbor is accessible only by air and water.
Inhabited by the Alutiiq people, nearly 7,500 years ago, the village is home to 231 people.
Old Harbor is incorporated as a second class city, and is governed by a seven person city council that includes the
mayor. Council members serve staggered three-year terms and elect the Mayor. The city is primarily responsible
for community facilities such as water and sewer, public buildings, the small boat harbor and dock, and collaborates
with the Alutiiq Tribe of Old Harbor on projects such as road maintenance and land fill operations.
The Alutiiq Tribe of Old Harbor is recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs with the Old Harbor Tribal
Council as its official governing body. The tribal council consists of seven members, elected at-large according
to an adopted constitution and bylaws. The tribal government funds and administers social, cultural,
environmental, youth, transportation and wellness programs within the community. The tribal government
contracts with KANA to provide health care, senior citizens meal program, public safety.
Commercial fishing continues as the economic mainstay in the village and in 1988 with the commercial fishing
industry booming the population was estimated to be 400 residents. Today the once solely fishing reliant
community is supplemented by ecotourism. Sport fishing guides, three lodges and several bed and breakfasts
are some of the businesses that have been developed to serve visitors from all over the world interested in a
wilderness experience.

expensive. This service would benefit from scheduled marine transportation.
Electric Service Yes AVEC provided electric using a 75 KW generator; residential and commercial customers are charged $0.63 per KW plus a
fuel surcharge; The State of AK Power Cost Equalization program subsidized the cost of electricity to $0.20 per KW up to
500 KWH/mo.; limited power is available for new business development.
Fuel Storage /
Distribution
Yes The City of Old Harbor distributes fuel in the community; bulk fuel is delivered 5 X per/yr; diesel fuel is sold for
$4.55/gallon and gasoline is sold for $7.14 per/gallon; diesel and gasoline storage capacity is 128,000 gallons.
Library Yes Limited access for youth to the school library during the school year. A joint use agreement would be beneficial for the
community to access resources.
Medical
Clinic/Health
Services
Yes Old Harbor’s New Clinic was built in 2007, staffed by KANA supported CHP’s; BHA; and itinerant medical and dental
visits from KANA; telemedicine is used; emergencies are handled by village staff, volunteer response team, & USCG.
Service to the non-native population is limited, this needs to be re-evaluated to serve this population in the community as it
is growing and will continue to grow with economic development.
Municipal Boat
Harbor
Yes An improved and expanded City Small Boat Harbor Facility was completed in 2010 and accommodates the current fleet.
The harbor is currently at full capacity.

Air Service Yes Regular flights are scheduled however due to weather conditions the village often goes without service for up to a week at a
time. An upgraded airport facility would assist the frequency of service.
School Yes Old Harbor’s public school is operated by KIBSD and maintained by the KIB; K-12 is provided by 5 full time teachers. The
community is interested in pursuing the development of a charter school based on cultural values and traditions.
Seafood
Processing
Yes The community would benefit by having a large processing plant. It would be supported by the growing fishing fleet, would
provide jobs for locals, and raw fish taxes would be beneficial for the City of Old Harbor. A small privately owned smoke
house and fish processing plant is located in Old Harbor; this plant operates seasonally on a limited basis.
Second Class City Yes
Telephone Service
/ Internet
Yes In 2013, cellular service was established in Old Harbor with the infrastructure set up by Kodiak Microwave System, and Old
Harbor Corporation subsidiary, administered by GCI.
U.S Post Office The USPS operates a part-time, small postal office in the Tsunami flood zone. The community would like this office
relocated to a central safe-zone.

Ouzinkie is located on the west coast of Spruce Island, a small island off the northerly coast of
Kodiak Island and approximately 10 air miles from the City of Kodiak and 247 air miles southwest
of Anchorage. The village is accessible only by water or air. The island is characterized by swampy
areas, volcanic rock and soils, sedimentary rock, and an abundance of tall Sitka spruce trees.
Ouzinkie and its surroundings are home to a wide variety of fish and wildlife species, which locals
rely on for commercial fishing, subsistence hunting and fishing, and sports hunting and fishing.
Ouzinkie is recognized as a second-class city organized under the State of Alaska and has a seven
member council elected to three-year staggered terms. Ouzinkie is also governed by its federally
recognized tribal government, the Ouzinkie Tribal Council. The Council administers several federal
grants and addresses issues concerning Alaska Native members of the community. Through an
agreement with the tribal council, the regional non-profit association, KANA, provides the native
people of the village with medical, behavioral health, and other community care services. KANA
provides a small clinic in the village.
The economic base for Ouzinkie is a mixture of local employment and State and Federal assistance
programs. Although Ouzinkie was once a thriving commercial fishing community (particularly due
to salmon fishing), there are currently only three operating commercial fishing vessels and only two
of them have salmon permits. The CFEC’s 2009 data indicate that there are a total of 36 commercial
fishing permits currently held by Ouzinkie residents. The actual number of current Ouzinkie
residents possessing commercial fishing permits is 17.
In 2004 the Spruce Island Development Corporation (SIDCO), a 501(C) (3) non-profit corporation,
was formed by the community to identify and address the decline in the economy for Ouzinkie over
the past twenty years. Located in the community of Ouzinkie, SIDCO, through its Board of
Directors, brings together one central working entity that focuses on supporting long term
community sustainability. The SIDCO Board represents a cross section of the community including
the leadership of the City of Ouzinkie, Ouzinkie Tribal Council, and the Ouzinkie Native
Corporation. This organization supports effective long term economic development, project
planning and implementation.

Port Lions is located on the north coast of Kodiak Island, near the mouth of Settler Cove on the
west side of Kizhuyak Bay. It is 19 air miles to the southwest of the City of Kodiak and 247 air
miles southwest of Anchorage. Access to the village is limited to marine and air travel. The
mountainous terrain is covered with Sitka spruce, cottonwood, birch, alder and willow trees. Port
Lions was established following the partial destruction of Afognak Village, on Afognak Island, by
the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake and Tsunami. The community was named in honor of the Lions
Club, which supported the rebuilding and relocation of the village. The community is rich in culture
and history dating back at least 6,000 years. A majority of the residents can trace their ancestry to
the Old Village of Afognak and have a diverse mix of indigenous Sugpiaq/Alutiiq, Russian, and
Scandinavian bloodlines.
The City of Port Lions is a second class city within the Kodiak Island Borough and the State of
Alaska. The seven member city council is elected to staggered three year terms of office. The mayor
is elected to a one year term by the city council. The Native Village of Port Lions is a federally
recognized tribe, governed by a seven member board that is also elected to three year staggered terms
of office by the tribal membership. Through resolution from the Native Village of Port Lions,
KANA Provides the Native Village of Port Lions with medical, dental, and behavioral health services.
In addition, KANA provides a Village Public Safety Officer for the community through an agreement
with the City of Port Lions.
The community of Port Lions is identified as economically distressed. Port Lion’s economy has
sustained itself through the years with a mix of commercial and subsistence fishing, including
cannery operations. During the last two decades, this has changed as a result of new fishing
regulations and a steady decline in fishing prices. This has resulted in residents exiting the fishing
industry and moving out of the community to seek employment to support their families. Today,
the community struggles to provide employment for its residents. Often times residents piece
together part-time and seasonal jobs in order to stay in their home community.

Workforce
Village Labor Force
Historically, the remote communities in the Koniag Region have supported themselves by
commercial fishing. Due to limited entry, which caused a significant decrease in the fishing fleet, and
an aging fishing population, the communities have experienced a significant decrease in population.
A large number of displaced fishermen have relocated their families from the rural communities
to seek other training and employment opportunities. Students often leave the village school
system to seek higher education and seldom return due to the lack of competitive job opportunities
available in the rural villages.
Five of six village communities in the Kodiak region qualify as economically distressed, according to
the Denali Commission analysis for 2017, leaving only Akhiok off of the distressed list. This is a
change from 2016 where only three of six villages qualified as economically distressed. Economically
distressed communities by definition have high levels of unemployment and low wages. Having an
economically distressed status allows communities to have access funding and support. There is an
appeals process that Akhiok may consider pursuing to have their status changed for 2017.

Natural Resources
Kodiak Island and the surrounding villages are breathtaking in beauty and plentiful in natural
resources. The island sits at the crossroads of the most productive fishing grounds in the world. In
2016, Kodiak ranked as the number three commercial fishing port in the United States in terms of
value of seafood landed and second in terms of pounds. The Port of Kodiak is "homeport" to
more than 700 commercial fishing vessels. Not only is Kodiak the state's largest fishing port, it is
also home to some of Alaska's largest trawl, long line, and crab vessels. Nearly 120 vessels based in
Kodiak are at least 80 feet long. More than one-third of the jobs in Kodiak are directly involved
in the fishing industry, in either the harvesting or processing sectors.
The forest products industry is a declining segment of Kodiak economy. One forest products
company operates within the Kodiak Island Borough, at Danger Bay. Another company, A 1
Timber Consultant a Chehalis, Washington based company, completed logging operations in the
Chiniak area.

Exploration for minerals in the Borough has been sporadic and limited to areas of easy access.
Nearly all the mineral claims and areas of related activity are located near water passages. The
interior portions of the islands are relatively unexplored. It has been estimated that less than 20
percent of the Borough has been adequately prospected. Although no commercial metallic deposits
have been discovered in the Archipelago, the potential is present in the form of adequate intrusive
unites and widespread host rocks. Historically, gold has been the major commodity found in the
Borough, in both places and lode deposits. Metallic mineral resource development has occurred in
the past on a small scale, but at present there are no commercial-scale mining activities.
(Kodiak Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy)
The abundance of hunting and fishing opportunities combined with Kodiak’s natural beauty are also
a draw for tourists and there are potential tourism opportunities for the villages. By providing small
business training and resources and by establishing local goals and strategies focusing on tourism
new jobs can be created. Encouraging local Alutiiq artists to manufacture and market their goods is
another source of potential income.
Agricultural activities, both livestock and plant based, has in recent years become seen as more viable.
Though the climate and soil conditions make farming a challenge, there are tools that allow crop
production to be more successful. The road system on Kodiak has a significant number of high-
tunnels, or hoop houses, which allow for the growing seasons to be extended (both in the Spring and
Fall).
Agricultural activities are also increasing in the village communities in the Kodiak Region. The
Kodiak Archipelago Leadership Institute’s archipelago wide farming project called The Small Tribes of
the Kodiak Archipelago – Economic Stability through Food Security is partially funded with a US Department
of Health and Human Services Administration for Native Americans SEEDS Grant and
supplemented by local and regional contributions of services and materials. The project includes four
small, off-road systems communities in Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, and Port Lions.

Transportation Access
Rural Kodiak Island’s transportation infrastructure development challenge is to define a
transportation system that link six widely dispersed, small communities in extreme marine
environments, to the city of Kodiak, the island’s population center as well as its service and supply
hub. The six communities, Akhiok, Old Harbor, Karluk, Larsen Bay, Port Lions and Ouzinkie have
a total year-round population of about 765 residents. These communities lie in on one of the most
challenging marine environments in the world, with routine exposure to sea conditions that keep
even Alaska Marine Highway System ships tied at the dock. The extremely rugged geography of
Kodiak Island makes road connections between communities and the city of Kodiak impractical.
There is no a road system that connects them to the City of Kodiak which limits their access to and
from Kodiak by air or sea.
The city of Kodiak and three village communities (Ouzinkie, Port Lions, and Old Harbor) receive
service from the Alaska Marine Highway. The M/V Tustumena is the main vessel assigned to the
route to connect these Kodiak Archipelago communities to Homer. However, the “Trusty Tusty”
was built in 1964 and is showing signs of her age, frequently requiring repairs and keeping her out of
service. The state of Alaska’s budget challenges could delay the needed Tustumena replacement
project.
Currently, only one air taxi service provides scheduled flights between the Kodiak road system with
the village communities. The air taxi company holds the essential air service contract and the United
States Postal Service contract. Historically, there has been barge services that held loosely scheduled
service around the island, making transportation of larger and bulkier items more affordable. This
option has not been available for many years.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats
Economic Cluster: Energy
Strengths:
- The Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference (SWAMC) received a grant from the
Department of Energy for the development of an Intertribal Energy Network. This grant
allowed KANA to receive the contract to fund a partial FTE as the Regional Energy
Coordinator for the Kodiak Region to focus on regional energy projects.
- KANA Economic Development Project Manager was accepted into the Arctic Remote
Energy Networks Academy (ARENA) where he will learn about micro-grid energy
systems and gain access to a network of energy professionals/experts.
- Ouzinkie engaged with the Department Of Energy, Office of Indian Energy to facilitate a
Strategic Energy Plan for the community.
- SWAMC/AEA Regional Energy Planning: AEA investment into development of a
comprehensive Energy Planning process to lower the long term cost of power and
dependence on fossil fuels in Alaska by looking at a total mix of energy needs in the
Kodiak Region.
- Success Stories: Kodiak Road System, including the community of Port Lions, runs at
99.5% renewable (hydro and wind). This example shows that renewable power generation
capabilities exist within the region.
- Power Cost Equalization (PCE): The Alaska Energy Authority’s PCE program provides
economic assistance to rural Alaska customers where the cost for power can be three to five
times higher than urban parts of the state. Five of the six village communities around
Kodiak received $295,676 in PCE payments in FY16.
- Partnerships: many communities reported that they are good at identifying partnerships
(both internally and externally)
- Ampy Meters: Three communities (Larsen Bay, Akhiok and Karluk) report that their
installation of Ampy Meter (Pre-pay electrical meters), have successfully been installed
and are: 1) Allowing past due customers to pay up their bill (bringing needed revenue
back into the electrical utility) and 2) Creating immediate incentive for users to monitor
their electrical usage and find ways to become more efficient.
- Old Harbor has biomass pellet manufacturing equipment. There has been some
experience built in the community, but it is limited at this time.
Weaknesses:
- Real cost of power in most communities is high (removing PCE from the equation)
- The Average cost of power (after PCE) for village communities off of the Kodiak Electric
Association grid is $0.30 per kWh.
- Cost of Fuel: While all communities have a high cost of fuel, two communities specifically
reported fuel delivery options limit their fuel purchasing options. These communities lack

a fixed fuel connection dock (marine header) and dolphins that would allow fuel to be
delivered via a traditional fuel barge.
- Renewable Energy main source of energy: communities all have different amounts of
renewable energy capabilities and goals, but one community (Ouzinkie) identified the fact
that they are not 100% renewable at this time as a weakness.
- Ouzinkie has an aging energy infrastructure, with their original penstock on their hydro
system over 30 years old, made of PVC that has become brittle in spots having been
exposed to sun, and having had a major blow-out failure in mid-2016.
- Condition of equipment varies from village to village, but one village (Akhiok) specifically
noted that the condition of their equipment is old and failing and will need to be updated
and/or fixed. Complete failure is always a possibility; line loss is a major issue.
- Three of our six village communities are 100% reliant on fossil fuels for energy generation.
Opportunities:
- Energy Efficiency: Many communities reported energy efficiency upgrades to tribal and city
offices would be beneficial.
• Ouzinkie’s “Line Loss” issues could be a substantial Energy Efficiency measure to
accomplish
• KANA Based Energy Efficiency Coordinator – seek funding for project/position
- Ampy Meter Expansion: Village communities not currently utilizing this pre-paid utility
technology expressed interest in the performance experience in two communities who have
installed Ampy Meters. Provides Energy Efficiency opportunities as well giving users real-
time data on usage based on immediate behavior changes.
- SWAMC/AEA Regional Energy Planning: Communities expressed interest to continue with
the Regional Energy Planning efforts.
• Establishing a regionalized plan amongst the total mix of energy needs in the Kodiak
region will help provide the guidance needed to set and accomplish goals.
• Department of Energy, Office of Indian Energy Technical Assistance can engage
with communities in a Strategic Energy Planning process.
- Wind, hydroelectric, and solar are all potential opportunities, varying in applicability, for the
village communities to decrease dependence on fossil fuel electricity generation.
- Bio-Mass heating and energy production – pellets, cordwood, or chips. Ouzinkie (city and
tribe) and KANA have had pre-feasibility studies completed to assess the viability of this
technology.
Threats:
- State Budget Challenges
• Project Funding: Reduced availability of state funding will likely limit the amount of
energy projects that are funding in the state.
• Revenue Sharing (a threat to energy because of the case in Akhiok – where the
community uses the entire amount of the revenue sharing funds to purchase their
annual fuel delivery)
• While it is thought that the Power Cost Equalization endowment is likely safe
from the State of Alaska Budget issue; there is hesitance to make any

improvements to the formula or operation. Any updates or edits could open
the door for state government to access the endowment.
- Success of City of Kodiak (road system) could overshadow the major issues related to high
cost energy in the rural (off-grid) communities in the Kodiak Archipelago.
- The impact of climate change and the threat of natural disasters that could increase the need
for additional resources.
- Environmental regulations could change the way fuel can be delivered to a couple of the
village communities. Larsen Bay and Akhiok both rely on delivery of fuel via floating fuel
hoses.
- Outmigration of population: high energy costs, along with lack of employment
opportunities, place large burden on families’ and businesses’ budgets and may be in part a
deciding factor in moving away from a village.

Economic Cluster: Fisheries/Maritime
Strengths:
- Abundance of the Resources - Commercial, personal/subsistence, and tourism sectors:
Although there is some strife amongst user groups, in general, there remains enough of a
fisheries resource for everyone to access
- Greying of the Fleet: a multi-year project from 2014 to 2017 that was a partnership with the
University of Alaska and Alaska Sea Grant including the following key objectives:
• Document and compare barriers to entry into, and upward mobility within, fisheries
among youth and young fishery participants;
• Examine factors influencing young people’s attitudes towards, and level of
participation in, Alaska fisheries;
• Identify models of successful pathways to establishing fishing careers among young
residents; and
• Identify potential policy responses to address the graying of the fleet and develop
specific recommendations consistent with state and federal legal frameworks.
- City of Kodiak capital budget allocated funds for the installation of a public use crane on
Oscar’s dock. The crane has been requested and lobbied for by the small boat fishery
participants for many years.
- The Kodiak Fish Advocacy Group, with administrative support and meeting space provided
by Koniag, has begun to actively meet again in 2017. The group is generally chaired by
Theresa Peterson, a member of the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council.
- Alaska Maritime Workforce Development Plan: “A call to action and a guide for industry,
government, and educators to work together to enable Alaska’s maritime sector to remain
economically vibrant, ensure that Alaskans are qualified to fill these skilled and well-paid
positions, and increase the number of Alaskans in this workforce.”
• http://www.alaska.edu/files/fsmi/AK-Maritime-Workforce-Dev-Plan_High-Res_5-
22-14.pdf (page 1)
- Old Harbor exhibits a strong fishing fleet that employs a large part of their village
community.
Weaknesses:
- Environmental disaster response: there is a lack of emergency response for a major disaster,
such as an oil spill. Oil spill response training should be provided to rural villages to build
capacity in the event of a disaster.
- Large processors in the Kodiak market have been consolidating in recent years, which
could translate into few worker jobs, reduced economic activity, and lower prices paid to
fishery participants.
- Graying of the fleet: Many of the commercial fishing captains are reaching retirement age. It
is difficult for the younger generation to get started in the industry – financial, legal, and
permitting barriers are present.

catch - impacts large trawl vessels by altering their fishing techniques & impacts small vessels
because of significant volumes of by-catch that are discarded by trawl fleet, thus unavailable
for small fleet to harvest.
- High Cost of Energy reduces attractiveness of canneries in some locations
- Some cannery positions are perceived that they are not attractive for many village residents.
Perception need to be altered – slime line isn’t the only cannery position.
• Skills will be beneficial when searching for cannery to expand into the Old Harbor
market – or if the tribe will be doing themselves, then focus will need to be on
gaining basic skills, then growing these skills.
- Limited amounts of data seem to be available on fishing activities and impact in the rural
village communities in the Kodiak region.
- The participants in fisheries are aging considerably making a challenge filling their
impending retirement of significant concern.
Opportunities:
- “Catch Together” – the Kodiak Region has been in discussion with this group, whose mission
is: “Catch Together partners with fishermen and fishing communities to make sustainable
seafood impact investments. Our work strengthens fishing communities, cultivates
leadership, ensures local fishery quota availability and supports fishery management
improvements and ocean conservation”.
• Catch Together is interested in making investments in the Kodiak Region.
- State of Alaska Representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins is working on a bill called the
“Young Fishermen’s Development Act” to provide training and financial support
opportunities that could encourage younger fishermen to enter the fisheries.
- City of Kodiak capital budget allocated funds for the installation of a public use crane on
Oscar’s dock. The crane has been requested and lobbied for by the small boat fishery
participants for many years. This could be an opportunity to leverage the funds budgeted by
the City of Kodiak as matching funds for a federal grant for building more fisheries
infrastructure in the City of Kodiak.
- The Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak recently purchased the Ursin Cannery property. Sun’aq already
operates Kodiak Wild Source (a seller of wild Alaska Seafood, direct from the source).
Sun’aq’s plans to develop the Ursin Cannery are to increase production capabilities of Kodiak
Wild Source, build a restaurant, and create a cultural center.
- The Kodiak Harvest Food Cooperative, a not-yet-open grocery store in Kodiak, is focused on
carrying locally caught seafood to be sold in a grocery store locally in Kodiak. This is is a
major option for smaller boat fisheries in the Kodiak Market.
- Old Harbor has been working on enhancing the fisheries within the proximity of their
community, including discussions and preparations towards king crab and salmon
enhancement projects in Three Saints Bay.
- Canneries:
• Old Harbor has a long term goal of building a fresh fish processing facility in the
community, which will provide jobs, processing opportunities for local fishery
workers, and a fish tax
• Larsen Bay has a cannery in their community (owned by Icicle Seafoods) that
provides support for the city utility infrastructure and through a raw fish tax.
Currently, the cannery employs no village residents, which provides, albeit a low

desire position, a possible employment opportunity.
• The Alitak Cannery (operated by Ocean Beauty) is located approximately 4 miles
from Akhiok. Currently, this cannery employs no village resident.
- Akhiok reports some halibut quota is not being used because they are so far away from a
processor that would accept it. Theresa Peterson reports that she might be able to find
an arrangement for the Alitak Cannery to accept the halibut.
Threats:
- Creation of additional Limited Entry programs enforced upon additional fisheries.
- Environmental disaster, namely an oil spill is a threat and has occurred historically in the
region.
- Outside sources make policy based on other interests
- Possible conflicting priorities with governing entities in region (city and borough)
- Variations in the quantity of resources can occur for a variety of reasons. The 2016 pink
salmon harvest was extremely poor, leaving many fishing operations in major financial
distress.

Economic Cluster: Food Security
Strengths:
- Strong amount of growing conversation, action, and desire to gain control over food
sources. Many village residents, and specifically leaders, want to make moves toward self-
sufficiency in local food production.
• Ouzinkie: city council approved use of city equipment to move topsoil for field
crops (even if ANA grant isn’t successful); City will use old airport property that was
ceded to the city from the state for agricultural use
• The community hoop house garden is expanding agricultural interest throughout the
community (Old Harbor)
- Village communities report strong participation in subsistence activities by residents to
provide protein needs.
- The First Nations Development Institute funded a one year project at KANA called the
Kodiak Food Sovereignty Assessment. The goals of the First Nations’ Native Agriculture
and Food Systems Initiative is to assist targeted, rural and/or reservation-based Native
American communities in ensuring adequate food supplies for their communities, with a
particular focus on locally-grown, healthy foods, and in developing or expanding a locally-
controlled and locally-based food system that provides healthy foods to community
members and that supports local food producers and the local economy.
- The Kodiak Harvest Food Cooperative is a Kodiak based initiative to open a full-service,
cooperatively owned grocery store in Kodiak with a focus on carrying locally grown
produce and locally caught seafood. The coop is a registered business, has a seated board
of directors, and has nearly 250 paid members. This project has a significant potential to
support local producers in the Kodiak Region.
- Administration for Native Americans (ANA) - Agriculture Grant Application: Kodiak
Archipelago Leadership Institute applied for funding through ANA to establish agricultural
business in four of the village communities. This project was funded in 2015 and began in
October and will run for three years (to September 2018)
• Ouzinkie, Port Lions, Old Harbor, and Larsen Bay
Weaknesses:
- Limited experience growing own foods in current generation. Lots of the experience and
knowledge of what works agriculturally has been lost through the generations.
- Soil condition is thought to be poor – knowledge of how to cultivate the soil and increase
the nutrients of the soil is limited.
- High cost of food and limited access to healthy options at local stores in village
communities.
- Transportation of food to village communities is high, placing an added burden on already
economically distressed populations.

- Limited amount of personnel in some communities – many of the best workers are already
employed (can this be backed up by data?)
Opportunities:
- KANA’s Employment Training and Support Services (ETSS) Workforce development –
Project Greenhouse -
• Akhiok: Smaller, more nimble agricultural project opportunity using existing
workforce development funds to train and employ youth in agricultural programs.
- Regular ferry or barge service could reduce costs of food transportation to village
communities.
- Title VI (Senior Meals), Farms to Schools, canneries, lodges, and Farmer’s markets as
options for customers
- Kodiak Grown unprepared food sales tax exemption, creating an incentive for consumers to
purchase locally grown food.
- Development of hydroponic agriculture infrastructure in the town of Kodiak, enabling
growth and sale of fresh and healthy greens and herbs on a year round basis. This growth
method pairs Kodiak’s relatively low cost electricity with the logistically and costly practice of
food importation to enable what appears to be a financially viable business development
concept.
- The Kodiak Harvest Food Cooperative is a Kodiak based initiative to open a full-service,
cooperatively owned grocery store in Kodiak with a focus on carrying locally grown
produce and locally caught seafood. The coop is a registered business, has a seated board

Economic Cluster: Environmental – IGAP Consortium
Program
Strengths:
- KANA submitted an application for funding with the EPA to start an IGAP Consortium
program. The project has solid waste capacity building and water quality components.
- EPA IGAP funding is generally fairly reliable and stable
- A successful Environmental program already exists in Alaska that can be emulated and rolled
out in Kodiak.
- Rural Village communities have some level of Environmental technical capacity.
- Rural Village Communities should be cleared of nearly all of the scrap metal by the time of
project application and potential project would start, creating an opportunity for the Village
Communities to develop a sustainable program from a clean slate
Weaknesses:
- Tribal EPA IGAP programs are funded by the EPA are funded before consortium projects
(note: this is only a weakness for this initiative, however, this is a strength for Tribal IGAP
programs in that they are funded before Consortium programs)
- Some villages report a limited workforce is available in their communities.
Opportunities:
- EPA IGAP has extended funding for projects that address solid waste/landfill activities,
including backhaul, until 2020.
- Create specialized and trained workers that can serve the entire Kodiak Region even after the
completion of the project
• Automobile Recycling
• Freon Recovery – Refrigeration technician possibilities
• Hazardous Waste Operator training
• Future backhaul projects
Threats:
- EPA IGAP has been changing their funding priorities and will stop funding projects that
address solid waste/landfill activities, including backhaul, by 2020. This could happen sooner,
but that is not known.
- The Consortium, as the applicant, would need to obtain support on an annual basis from
Village Tribal Councils to apply for the grant. There is a misunderstanding that individual
village IGAP programs would be competing with the consortium project. Generally, if a one
of the tribes backs out their support, the entire consortia could be eliminated.

Economic Cluster: Tourism
Strengths:
- Kodiak is an amazing place for tourists to visit with world class outdoor activities: fishing,
hunting, hiking, and wildlife viewing.
- “Discover Kodiak” has promoted Kodiak worldwide as a travel destination since 1986, with
their main purpose to promote sustainable development of the tourism and convention
industry throughout the Kodiak Island Borough and City, thereby increasing economic
opportunities, jobs and local tax revenues.
Weaknesses:
- There appears to be a lack of tourism support infrastructure in the village communities,
including transportation, accommodations, and services. This could be inaccurate in some
village communities, but needs to be analyzed.
- Air Transportation from the Mainland and the Lower 48 to Kodiak is fairly expensive and may
limit the amount of travelers.
- The Alaska Marine Highway Service serves Kodiak, Ouzinkie, Port Lions, and Old Harbor
with Mainland Alaska and the Aleutian Chain. While this service is an asset to the region, the
schedule has inconsistencies that make the transportation system challenging to fully rely upon.
Opportunities:
- Eco-tourism is gaining substantially worldwide.
- “Discover Kodiak” is working to create a Rural Tourism Development Strategy
- Tourism can be thought of as an export: exporting the Kodiak experience. With other
limited export options beside seafood, Tourism provides a unique opportunity for economic
diversification.
• The export concept will strengthen other Economic Development opportunities in
other Economic Clusters, specifically the addition of hydroponic agriculture activities,
which may enable growth of fresh vegetables year round in the Kodiak region.
- Kodiak region Alaska Native Corporations may find opportunity in investing in Tourism
infrastructure to build up local capacity and earn a return on their investment.
-
Threats:
- Unintended consequences that are associated with tourism activities, including increased traffic,
impact to infrastructure, utilization of resources.
- Environmental catastrophe: oil spill, earthquake, bear mauling – could bring tourism activity to
a halt
- State of Alaska budget cuts could impact Alaska Marine Highway Service’s ability to service the
Kodiak Archipelago.

Economic Cluster: Technology – Internet Connectivity
Strengths:
- Kodiak Internet connectivity working group has been established with the assistance of a
“Digital Inclusion” study that was started by a grant received by the Alutiiq Museum. The
project is likely to be called “Kodiak Rural Connect”
- Old Harbor Native Corporation is already in the Internet Connectivity business.
Weaknesses:
- The “Last Mile” of internet connectivity is the most expensive and challenging. The “First
Mile” and “Middle Mile” are more easily overcome.
- There is a great challenge in understanding how well the internet works in each of the village
communities. Detailed information is not consolidated into one location for reference.
Opportunities:
- The Kodiak Rural Connect project is deploying an internet connectivity survey through the
Kodiak region. This includes the village communities, where efforts will be made to deploy
paper copies of the survey to ensure those without internet access to take the survey are
missed.
- Conduct a SWOT Analysis for Kodiak’s Regional Broadband/Internet connectivity.
- Find way to use existing bandwidth already in existence: OWL program (library) and the
I.H.S. $ that KANA receives to bring broadband to the village communities.
- Increasing the speed of internet connectivity will provide remote village residents the
opportunity to pursue alternative forms of income producing work. These options may
include tele-commuting and online craft/arts sales
Threats:
- Reaching remote villages with high-speed internet connectivity could be very costly.
- Decreased activity on the part of youth if increased internet connectivity speeds decrease the
amount of time the youth is active on a given day.

Economic Cluster Narratives:
Economic Cluster: Energy
The Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference (SWAMC) was awarded a grant from the Department of
Energy for the development of an Intertribal Energy Network in the SWAMC Region, which includes
the Aleutian Island, Bristol Bay, and Kodiak. The project creates a new position called a Regional
Energy Coordinator in each of the regions. The Kodiak Area Native Association was selected to
receive the contract from SWAMC to house the Regional Energy Coordinator position in the Kodiak
Region. The Regional Energy Coordinator at KANA is a partial (approximately 25%) Full-Time
Equivalent (FTE) position and is currently being filled by the Economic Development Project
Manager at KANA and is expected to be funded through September 2019.
The Project Manager at KANA is participating in the Arctic Remote Energy Network Academy
(ARENA) during calendar year 2017. ARENA program is intended to address the need for the
development of community energy experts to ensure reliable, affordable, and renewable energy
solutions for Arctic Communities. Participation in the program will provide the project manager with
exposure to a variety of renewable energy technologies, an expanded network of energy professional
throughout the Arctic, brining value back to the Kodiak and SWAMC region.
The Alaska Energy Authority’s (AEA) mission is to “reduce the cost of energy in Alaska.” While
there are many methods to approach and achieve this mission, the AEA has invested in a Regional
Energy Planning process that “is a way for Alaskans to determine their energy priorities and
formulate a concrete, implementable, fundable energy plan.”2 This process will allow projects to be
approached in a strategic method, rather than sporadic and occasionally misguided investments in
projects. Reducing consumption of diesel fuel by replacing energy generation with local resources
reduces economic leakage.
Regional Energy Planning in the Kodiak region proceeded through the Phase II – Community
Outreach, Energy Summit, and Project Priorities. However, due to the State of Alaska budget issues,
the AEA has been forced to reduce and in some cases eliminate funding to continue the energy
planning process. SWAMC’s successful receipt of the Department of Energy planning grant will allow
implementation of the priorities that our Region’s Communities have identified.
The Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference received a Department of Energy, Office of Indian
Energy grant to create and administer an energy technical assistance network within the SWAMC
region. The goal of the three year grant is to establish a network to provide technical assistance on a
regional basis to the tribal entities that will result in a sustainable system of building better energy
systems, led by communities, Native Corporations, and Native non-profits, effectively continuing the
State of Alaska energy planning activities.
A Regional Energy Coordinator (REC) position was created in each of the three SWAMC regions.
KANA was chosen to receive the contract with SWAMC to employ the REC due largely to the
historical work throughout the Regional Energy Planning processes. A partial FTE (approximately 25%
FTE) works throughout the Kodiak region to continue to move energy projects forward. The REC
communicates with the village communities on energy needs/projects; provides planning, technical and
funding assistance; serves as the point of contact and communication hub for the region; and assists in
identifying multi-community projects within the Kodiak Region.

The Alaska State Legislature House Bill 306 states:
“It is the intent of the legislature that the state receive 50 percent of its electric generation
from renewable and alternative sources by 2025.”
“It is the intent of the legislature that the state achieve a 15 percent increase in energy
efficiency on a per capita basis between 2010 and 2020.”4
By aligning the energy planning activities and goals with State Legislation, the
Economic Development Goals in this CEDS increases collaboration and cooperation that is
necessary to accomplish such challenging goals.

Kodiak Area Native Association – Kodiak Rural Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy – June 2017
Economic Cluster: Fisheries/Maritime
Our Rural Communities, including Kodiak, are surrounded by a wealth of marine resources.
Inhabitants of this region have depended on the resources from the sea for many centuries of their
existence. From living a subsistence lifestyle, hunting and fishing from skin-covered kayaks, through
forced labor during the Russian settlement hunting for fur, to the commercial fishing era in the early
1900s, the marine environment has provided food, an economy, and a way of life.
As a result of a number of factors including the decline in the value of wild salmon, implementation
of State and Federal regulations (Limited Entry fisheries/IFQ’s), and the devastating effects of the
1964 earthquake, which ruined many of the fish processing plants around Kodiak Island that
employed residents of the rural villages, and the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, there has been a decline in
the fishing and maritime industry. This decline has drastically impacted the economic and socio-
economic state of the rural villages of the Alutiiq community in the Kodiak region.
How the marine resources have allowed the existence of inhabitants of this region continues to
evolve today. While current regulatory and economic conditions make it difficult for a child to take
over their parent’s fishing business and keeping fishing vessels home-ported in the village
communities is a significant challenge, there are achievable career opportunities in the maritime
industry.
Preparing a workforce that is equipped is necessary in the evolving fisheries/maritime industry. The
“Alaska Maritime Workforce Development Plan” is “a call to action and a guide for industry,
government, and educators to work together to enable Alaska’s maritime sector to remain
economically vibrant, ensure that Alaskans are qualified to fill these skilled and well-paid positions,
and increase the number of Alaskans in this workforce.”6
In support of the Alaska Maritime Workforce Development Plan, Kodiak College brought on a full-
time Marine Workforce Development coordinator. Courses in marine electrical, fiberglass repair,
propulsion systems, hydraulics, basic deckhand skills, and more are being developed and deployed to
train the local labor force. In some cases, the Kodiak College is reviewing options to bringing
instructors into the village communities to teach the course, bringing the education directly to the
student.
In efforts to return fisheries access back to the village communities, Kodiak Island Tribal
Communities have come together to form the Kodiak Island Tribal Fisheries Coalition (KITFC). In
1992, the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (NPFMC) created the Western Alaska
Community Development Quota (CDQ), providing Western Alaska communities access to the
economic benefits that fisheries resources in their immediate geographic vicinity can provide. The
KITFC is working to create much the same arrangement, requesting an allocation of 10% of all
federally managed marine resources in the Gulf of Alaska to the represented tribes through a Gulf
of Alaska Community Development Quota. One long term goal of obtaining the 10% allocation is
to return employment levels back to 1970s levels in the village communities. At that time, each
village supported multiple vessels and were centered around a cannery.

Kodiak Area Native Association – Kodiak Rural Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy – June 2017
Since development of the CEDS in 2015, the activities of the Kodiak Island Tribal Fisheries
Coalition has been somewhat limited, with challenges
The fishery dependent Native Village of Old Harbor is in the midst of a long-range, multi-pronged
economic development strategy that has the ultimate goal of returning the economic benefit of
fisheries to the community. Through creative funding, strategic partnerships, long-range planning
and a lot of hard work, Old Harbor is currently extending their airport runway, seeking methods to
fund and build hydroelectric power capabilities, and developing a salmon enhancement project in
Three Saints Bay. All of these inter-related projects and efforts ultimately lead up to the
development of a frozen fish processing facility in Old Harbor. It is reported that there are cannery
operators that are highly interested in developing a frozen fish processing facility in Old Harbor.
The infrastructure improvements provide the necessary access to transport the product to market,
renewable electricity to produce the product, and the fish necessary to harvest for the product. The
improvements are also in response to what potential private investors need in order to operate the
plant efficiently.
The Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak purchased the Ursin property in 2016, which is a long-ago abandoned
cannery near downtown Kodiak. The tribe would like to expand their Kodiak Wild Source
processing capacity and build a restaurant, cultural center and/or another complimentary business
space.
The small boat fishery has long advocated for a public use crane to be installed. In 2017, the City of
Kodiak budgeted to install a public use crane on Oscar’s dock in downtown Kodiak. There have
been suggestions to explore the options of a grant (possibly EDA) and use the City of Kodiak
funding as match funds as leverage to expand fisheries and food related infrastructure, such as ice
manufacturing or environmentally controlled (cool/freeze) food and bait storage facility.
The majority of the population around Kodiak Island, and all of our village communities, are settled
alongside the sea and the resources that are in the sea. Utilizing these resources is vital to the
economic stability of the region. Managing the sustainability of these resources is vital to ensure that
future generations continue to benefit from the potential economic stability. The available data is
limited in terms of how many fishing vessels are active and how many residents are employed in the
fishing industry in the village communities, what the value of their catch may be, where their catches
are being delivered, and what their future plans in the fisheries industry are. While some data may
be available through Dr. Courtney Carothers’ research in developing the “Greying of the Fleet”
study, additional survey work may be needed. As such, including the development and
implementation of the village fisheries survey has been included in the scope work in the FY16
EDA investment in the Kodiak Region.

Kodiak Area Native Association – Kodiak Rural Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy – June 2017
Economic Cluster: Food Security
Historically, up until the 1940’s Kodiak’s rural communities were for the most part self-sufficient.
Village residents hunted and fished, grew gardens and received grocery orders for canned goods and
fuel. As one Larsen Bay elder shared, “We worked all summer and used our commercial fishing
money to buy our winters supplies. We had everything we needed.” This changed beginning after
WWII as more consumer goods arrived and now tradition of supplying the majority of your food
locally has declined, increasing the cost of living and leading to the loss of traditional knowledge
systems.
Locally grown food is not produced and marketed on Kodiak Island on a commercial level. All
produce is either shipped or flown in for the entire Kodiak populace including the village residents.
Because of this, the price of fresh produce in the Kodiak region is excessive and unaffordable to
many families. The weather and severe seasonal differences in the Kodiak region poses a major
obstacle in development of local food production. Even as food production could occur during a
few of the summer months, the risk of being affected by heavy storms and/or excessive periods of
rain would make this an unreliable industry if attempted in the outside elements which is standard
for mainstream food producers in the rest of the United States where much more temperate and
consistent weather patterns exist.
Community members expressed widely that they want to return to more locally produced food and
are also interested in exploring production on a commercial level for regional sale. In order to
consider the development of locally grown produce on a commercial level as a realistic option, the
development of commercial greenhouses or High Tunnels needs to be investigated. There are many
examples around the Kodiak region of the successful utilization of High Tunnels in produce
production. If these examples can be replicated throughout the Kodiak region in the development
of local food production, people would see a decrease in the cost of living, an increase in the health
of people, and the creation of several jobs in the region.
In order to provide supportive data and baseline information, the Kodiak region could replicate an
effort that was completed in Sitka. The “Sitka Community Food Assessment Indicators Report”
utilized the USDA Community Food Security Assessment Toolkit, creating a study from four parts:
1) Completion of a community food resource profile, 2) conducting focus group research, 3)
surveying households on a variety of food security issues, and 4) collecting food cost data.7 While
anecdotal evidence or statements, such as Kodiak’s potential for success growing food in high
tunnels, an academic study can generate valuable insight to back up planning efforts intended to
address deficiencies in an area’s food security.
What is meant by Food Security can have different meanings depending on where you live. “Food
security is commonly used by Alaskans to signify the security of the food supply from potential
disruption due to weather incidents, flooding…, etc. The most critical concern Alaskans hold for
the future of food is the security of its food supply”8 By looking locally at creating increased
security as it relates to the food supply will further increase economic opportunities. Purchasing

locally grown and produced food will keep money in the local economy as opposed to imported
foods sending money away. Meter and Phillips Goldenberg state in “Building Food Security in
Alaska” that “Alaskans spend $1.9 billion each year buying food produced outside of the state.”
Meter and Phillips Goldenberg provide nine recommended actions in “Food Security in Alaska”:
A. Foster subsistence harvesting and related skills
B. Build personal capacities in agriculture
C. Expand agricultural production and gardening
D. Build infrastructure that supports local food production
E. Adopt state policy that support local food production
F. Focus consumer attention on staying local to Alaska grown food
G. Expand food processing and manufacturing for in-state markets
H. Strengthen internal food distribution networks
I. Strengthen statewide transparency and coordination
Within the limited scope of Economic Development in the village communities around Kodiak,
it may be more effective to focus on just a couple of these recommendations to start with. If
and when headway is gained, increasing the scope to address more of the recommendations
should be considered.
Additional information, resources, and educational materials may be available at
www.localfoodeconomics.com .
Local food production has an opportunity for either organizations or entrepreneurs to further
local economic development. Currently, Kodiak has limited marketplace platforms for local
farms to engage with the public and generate revenue. These platforms include farmer’s
markets and a Community Supported Agriculture Producer’s Cooperative that delivers weekly
farm share boxes to subscribers. Recently, developments in the community have identified a
substantial interest in developing and opening a full-service Food Cooperative Grocery store
with a focus on carrying locally grown produce and locally caught seafood. A food cooperative
would be a local, community owned business that would not have the same corporate barriers
that a nationwide grocery store has. The local ownership would make it easier for the grocery
store to decide to carry the products they wish before competing with industrial scale farms
from the Lower 48.
If a marketplace is developed, it is estimated anecdotally that the demand for local produce
would outpace the current supply at the right price point. Further, Kodiak has a limited
growing season that would restrict locally grown produce of many types to certain times of the
year. The technology in year-round, indoor hydroponic agriculture in controlled conditions is
evolving that could assist in filling the supply issues for greens and herbs.

Economic Cluster: Environmental – IGAP Consortium
Program
Waste Management:
Through the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP), the village communities in the Kodiak
Archipelago have been able to remove large amounts of legacy scrap metal. The CIAP Metal Removal
Project is a onetime project with a sizable budget, which, at time of writing, is projected to removal all
scrap metal from all six villages. With successful completion, the village communities will essentially
be scrap metal free, but only for a short period of time.
We live in a throw away, disposable society. Vehicles, appliances, computers, televisions and more
become outdated or break down relatively quickly. Even with our communities starting with a clean
slate following the CIAP Project, they will quickly begin to accumulate caches of scrap metals and
electronic waste that needs to be removed from the community. The scope of the CIAP Metal
Removal Project is not sustainable with the method employed to remove the vast quantities: expensive
scrap metal baling equipment and very large landing craft with heavy equipment rental. Without a plan
for our communities to develop a sustainable process to remove their discarded scrap metal, the village
communities will simply have the same problem within short order.
The development of an Environmental program with the initial focus on developing a sustainable
metal backhaul program, likely to be housed at the Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA), through
funding from the Environmental Protection Agency Indian General Assistance Program (EPA IGAP),
is not directly an Economic Development activity. However, our village communities, with the
support of their local Tribal IGAP programs, could direct focus on other Economic Development
endeavors should a sustainable Metal Backhaul program be developed. Further, it can be imagined
that with increased economic prosperity, residents of the village communities will consume more, thus
creating increased pressure on backhaul activities.
Water Quality/Harmful Algal Blooms:
The quality of water is of the upmost importance in protecting subsistence resources. Warming ocean
conditions provide a more hospitable environment for the growth and spread of harmful algal blooms.
Some types of harmful algal blooms have been identified in samples taken from both deceased and
live marine mammals. It is not known whether the death of the deceased marine mammals is linked to
the harmful algal blooms. Both the marine mammals and their prey are components of the traditional
subsistence diets of the Alaska Native population in the Kodiak Region.
Harmful algal blooms are toxins that contaminate shellfish, which, if consumed by people, can cause
Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (or PSP). There is no way to cook or freeze the PSP causing toxins from
shellfish. The harmful algal blooms can be colorless, making them difficult or not possible to see.
Water and tissue sampling is the only way to know shellfish are safe to eat.
In order for Tribal environmental programs in the Kodiak Region to conduct environmental
measurements, Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPP) must be developed and approved by the
EPA. It would be very beneficial to develop a regional umbrella QAPP that works for all participating
tribes. The consortia can assist in developing this regional plan and site specific addendums, and

support building the tribal technical capabilities to assess water quality and eventually the safety of
subsistence resources.
KANA completed an application for EPA IGAP Consortium grant in October 2016. KANA received
support from the Tribal Councils in the Kodiak region. However, the EPA prioritizes funding to local
Tribal IGAP Environmental programs ahead of Consortium Grants. This means that if KANA
Consortium grant is funded, it will have not taken away from local Tribal IGAP programs. Further, if
the grant is successful, funding would not begin until October 2017.
Proposed Work Plan Components:
Work plan component 1: Building Administrative Capacity
Tasks in this component include maintaining an environmental office and carrying out administrative, financial,
and program management functions. We will also develop and submit a new FY19 IGAP proposal and
promote energy efficiency practices. These activities will help build our program by improving our ability to get
and manage other grants to address environmental issues.
Work plan component 2: Building Program Capacity
Tasks in this component include researching environmental issues and resources, traveling to each village
community to conduct program outreach and build partnerships, attending solid waste management and water
quality monitoring trainings, and participating in conferences. We will also submit at least one new
environmental grant application. These activities will build our program’s capacities to address environmental
issues collaboratively.
Work plan component 3: Building Communications Capacity
Tasks in this component include keeping the Board and community informed about regional environmental
issues and program activities, and participating in regional IGAP meetings and calls. We will also build
relationships with other agencies and organizations. These activities will increase regional communication and
collaboration on priority environmental issues.
Work plan component 4: Building Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Capacities
Tasks in this component include gathering and reviewing existing waste and landfill plans, beginning work with
tribes and municipalities toward developing or updating Integrated Waste Management Plans, drafting a
Sustainable Scrap Metal and Household Hazardous Waste Plan for Kodiak Villages, and developing a Best
Practices document and template Memorandum of Agreement. These activities will increase capacities to
manage wastes sustainably.
Work plan component 5: Building Technical Capacities- Baseline Water Quality Monitoring
Tasks in this component include collaborating with other programs, gathering and reviewing examples, and
developing a Quality Assurance Project Plan for a regional baseline water quality assessment. We will plan and
hold a water quality monitoring training for tribal environmental program staff, and develop site specific
addendums for each community. These activities will help build capacities to identify environmental and health
issues.

Economic Cluster: Tourism
Kodiak Island, often dubbed The Emerald Isle, draws tourists from around the world. According to
Kodiak Island Borough and City of Kodiak reports, Kodiak sees over 60,000 visitors, which includes
approximately 22,000 arriving on cruise ships.
Though the purpose of the visitors’ travel varies, including hunting, fishing, hiking, and wildlife
viewing, these tourists provide a vital contribution to the diversity of the local economy.
The Kodiak Island Convention & Visitors Bureau, dba Discover Kodiak, has been promoting
sustainable development of the tourism and convention industry throughout the Kodiak Island
Borough and City since 1985. This work increases economic opportunities, jobs, and local tax
revenues. Recent employment figures published by Discover Kodiak places 8% of Kodiak’s labor
force related to tourism.
Much of the tourism promotion work has historically focused on the City of Kodiak and the
connected road system. Recently, tourism industry development has become of bigger interest in the
village communities. While a couple of village communities have basic infrastructure to accommodate
tourism access, more work can still be done to justify increased promotion of village travel.
Both the Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Kodiak collect a bed tax from stays at hotels and Bed
& Breakfast businesses, each bringing in $109,000 and $216,000 respectively. According to section
3.55.010 of the Kodiak Island Borough Code, the bed taxes collected are “allocated to a separate fund
to be utilized solely for increased development of the tourist industry, and be allocated for:
• Tourism Programs
• Tourism enhancement projects, such as beautification within the borough” (Cite:
http://www.kodiakak.us/index.aspx?NID=285 )
Discover Kodiak receives some of their funding from these bed tax revenues, including $95,000 for
FY17 from the Kodiak Island Borough. This amount reflects an increase of $20,000 over the amount
budgeted, which Discover Kodiak will allocate $12,000 to support a Rural Tourism Summit. With an
additional allocation of funds, a summit was held with the goal of creating a rural tourism development
strategy and implementation plan. The elements from strategy and implementation plan were to be
used in revision of the CEDS in FY17, but no reports were derived from the summit.
Discover Kodiak has recently gone through a leadership transition with a new Executive Director.
Understanding the importance that tourism is for the local economy, further development of this
economic cluster will be warranted.

Economic Cluster: Technology – Internet Connectivity
In our 21st Century world, communities with limited internet availability and speed are at a
disadvantage from those with fast, reliable internet access. Fast and reliable internet connectivity is so
commonplace in many parts of the United States that it is easy to forget that many of our rural
communities, specifically in Indian Country, are much more limited.
The benefits of fast and reliable internet access are many, including access to commerce,
research/education materials, and entertainment. Information can be so accessible that many with fast
and reliable access often take it for granted.
The rural village communities in the Kodiak region generally have some degree of access to internet
connections. However, speed, reliability, and cost all seem to vary considerably from village to village.
Public knowledge of the service providers, speeds, reliability, and costs is generally incomplete,
anecdotal, and highly variable. General consensus however, is that Internet Connectivity is too slow,
unreliable, and too expensive. Further, it is known that many of the communities have fast and
reliable internet access in schools, medical clinics, and some libraries. The services used in these
locations are very expensive and rely heavily on subsidies. However, these connections are not
available to the average homeowner that may live right next door to one of these community facilities.
In order to understand how to move forward with improving Internet access in the Kodiak region,
there first needs to be an assessment of the current conditions. Knowledge of what the current state is
will be necessary in order to strategize how and where upgrade investments can and should be made.
Beginning in February 2017, the Alutiiq Museum, located in Kodiak, began work on a “Digital
Inclusion” project. This is a national effort to increase digital access throughout rural areas. As a part
of this project, a broadband working group has been assembled, called “Kodiak Rural Connect”,
consisting of Alaska Native Corporations, Alaska Native non-profit organizations, Tribal Council
members, and other community leaders. Kodiak Rural Connect will be working with KANA on the
CEDS process as a part of their planning efforts, will help Kodiak communities establish and improve
local, village based media centers, and conduct tests of available technology, specifically, “TV White
Space”.
Adding Internet Connectivity to the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy allows for
documentation of the current state. The ideal outcome in the short term is the development of an
official report detailing the current status of Internet Connectivity in the rural villages. The next steps
will be to develop a strategy on how the Kodiak Region will move forward in gaining faster, more
reliable, and affordable internet access

Economic Cluster: Business Development
According to the Pew Research Center, “Self-employed Americans and the workers they hired
accounted for…30% of the national workforce.” (cite:
http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2015/10/22/three-in-ten-u-s-jobs-are-held-by-the-self-employed-
and-the-workers-they-hire/) In Kodiak, the types of work that self-employed entrepreneurs engage in
are varied, ranging from operating their own fishing operations, construction, professional services
(attorney, accountant, etc), air taxi services, and much more. The expertise that a builder, a fisherman,
or a pilot has may be limited to the profession they are in. The skills and knowledge to start, grow,
and succeed in a small business, such as marketing, finance, and human resources, are entirely different
than flying a plane or operating a boat. There are limited resources in the Kodiak community that are
available to support these entrepreneurs navigate through some of these challenges.
A concept that is still in its infancy, and will require substantial development, is that some type of
Business Development center could provide these services to the community. Without full
understanding of what such a center could look like, it is difficult to fully complete a narrative.
However, during the following performance period, continued development of the concept can allow
more substantive action plans to be created in the next CEDS revision.
Some initial features of the concept that have been discussed include:
- Office Rental: professional office space that would support an emerging or growing business
through flexible and affordable space that can be rented on short term or long term basis.
- Business Development Support: mentoring and classes by professionals and experts in
Marketing, Finance, Accounting, Human Resource Management, and more to support growth
of emerging businesses
- A Business Incubator atmosphere with entrepreneurs learning from each other building upon
each other’s successes.
- Develop capacity to support infrastructure for an Economic Development Organization,
potentially involved in Economic Development planning, revolving loan fund activities, and
business development support
- Business Retention and Expansion engagement
- Contribute to Downtown Kodiak Revitalization activities

- Utilize the United States Department of Energy – Office of Indian Energy as a resource
to provide Technical Assistance (for Tribal Councils, Village/Regional Corporations, and
Tribal consortia) and as a lead to potential funding opportunities. Encourage village
communities to engage with the DOE to go through a Strategic Energy Planning
process.
ECONOMIC RESILIENCE:
- Increasing energy generation by renewable and alternative resources reduces dependence on
fossil fuels leading to greater self-sufficiency.
o Stabilize the cost of energy generation, which reduces the impacts of the volatile
price of fossil fuels.
o Fuel Delivery: Reducing dependence on fossil fuels reduces the impact of fuel
delivery issues, including natural disasters, potential for fuel/oil spills, worldwide fuel
supply issues, and more.
- By increasing energy efficiency, communities are able to increase their customer base
without scaling up the size of their energy generation infrastructure.
ACTION PLAN: Further development of the Action Plan can be derived directly from the
priorities and actions identified by each community throughout the planning process. Many of the
Details can be obtained at www.kodiakenergy.org.

o Kodiak College: Kodiak College’s Maritime Workforce Development program
directly aligns with the Alaska Maritime Workforce Development Plan in the areas of
Seafood Harvesting & Marine Occupations and Support Industries through their
intensive series in Vessel Repair and Maintenance. Kodiak College is offering
American Boat and Yacht Council certification courses in the areas including Marine
Electrical Certification, and Corrosion Certification. Course offerings are expanding
to include propulsion systems, fiberglass repair, AC Electrical, DC Electrical, marine
hydraulics, welding, and more in newly leased shop space where the first classes will
begin in Fall 2015.
o KANA Employment Training and Support Services: Utilize internal capabilities
and funding sources to deliver or facilitate culturally appropriate workforce
development training opportunities to eligible beneficiaries seeking employment
opportunities in the maritime/fisheries industries.
- City of Kodiak has included budget line to install a public use crane on Oscar’s dock in
Downtown Kodiak. There needs to be an exploration on whether these budgeted City
funds can be used as match for other Fisheries infrastructure development in the Kodiak
Region. Possible Projects could include ice manufacturing/sales facility and/or a
controlled-environment food storage facility.
ECONOMIC RESILIENCE:
- Sustainable and responsible harvesting practices: harvestable marine biomass cannot last
forever without proper management and harvest practices. Impacts of trawlers and their
associated by-catch pose potential for long term consequences in the fisheries economic
cluster.
- Developing a workforce with diverse skillsets can increase employment portability.
Implementing recommendations from the Alaska Maritime Workforce Development Plan
can provide a workforce with general maritime capabilities at the same time as some of the
specialization that is needed for specific industry jobs.
- Environmental Responsibility/Impact:
o Coastal Impact Assistance Program - Village metals and household hazardous waste
removal: Provided project execution includes removing all of the metals and
household hazardous waste from the village communities, the environmental impact
will be reduced. Ideally, from experience gained during the project period will allow
for some period of ongoing sustainability following the conclusion of the project
period.
o Global Climate Change: Any numbers of speculations exist on what will occur in the
“near” future regarding climate change. One speculation is that the glacier loss and
sea ice loss will lead to a rising ocean. Whatever may occur, our village communities
are set right on the ocean – a rising ocean level could certainly affect the existence of
life in our communities.
o Oil Spill response or issues: With continued oil exploration, extraction, and
transportation comes the risk of oil spill. Our region has felt this before with the
1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. Our village communities lack the ability to respond
quickly to an oil spill disaster. Providing oil spill response training to our village
communities would build response capacity in the event of another disaster.

Kodiak Area Native Association – Kodiak Rural Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy – June 2017
- Objective 1: Develop marketplace to support expanding local agricultural production and
availability of locally caught seafood.
- Objective 2: Expand Agricultural Production and Gardening
LEAD ORGANIZATIONS: Kodiak Archipelago Leadership Institute (KALI)
IDENTIFIED PARTNERS: KANA, City and Tribal Governments in Larsen Bay, Ouzinkie, Port
Lions, and Old Harbor, Kodiak Soil & Water Conservation District
PROJECTED # OF JOBS: 8 (at least two employment positions in each of the communities of
Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, and Port Lions); add the expected number of jobs for the
KANA ETSS project
TACTICS AND TASKS:
- Increase agricultural knowledge in our village communities to provide the residents the
opportunity to gain confidence in their food security.
- Provide economic opportunities through sales of agricultural products grown in our village
communities.
- Explore development of commercial size hydroponic farming operations in Kodiak.
- The food coop would like to continue to work with the University of Alaska Anchorage
Center for Economic Development as progress towards opening a food coop continues.
ECONOMIC RESILIENCE:
- Increased self-reliance provides additional security if a natural disaster cuts village
populations off from food supplies.
- The project goal is the establishment of local access to affordable fresh produce and eggs
while providing for increased, long-term economic stability through tribally owned and
operated food production operations. This can increase the economic resiliency of our
village communities.
- A locally owned food cooperative grocery store reduces economic leakage in the
community and provides local governance of store operations.
Economic Cluster: Food Security
Goal #3: By 2020, rural village households will report local food to make up at least 25% of
total food consumption including local, commercially produced, and subsistence caught
foods. This goal will provide increased economic stability through locally owned and
operated food production operations.

PROJECTED # OF JOBS: One FTE through Grant funded position
TACTICS AND TASKS:
1) Develop work plan, staffing plan, and training plan
2) Establish project timeline
3) Execute project logistics
ECONOMIC RESILIENCE: Economic prosperity frequently is associated with increased consumer
activity, with people purchasing new appliances, automobiles, electronics, and much more. Our village
communities end up being the forever resting place for discarded consumer items, filling up landfills
and posing potential environmental risk to residents. While developing an Environmental Program
itself is not traditionally an Economic Activity, addressing the consequences of economic prosperity can
and should be done in a proactive manner. Understanding what must be done with end of life
consumer refuse before it is generated will save communities funds, keep the communities’
environments cleaner and safer, and allow the village communities the opportunity to focus on
furthering Economic Development.
Economic Cluster: Environmental
Goal #5: Develop and implement a sustainable and regional waste backhaul program

Archipelago Leadership Institute (KALI/Rural Forum)
PROJECTED # OF JOBS: no additional jobs – scope of work included in Discover Kodiak
staffing levels
TACTICS AND TASKS:
1) Village communities need to be part of the development conversations to understand what they
want in terms of Tourism Development.
2) As a tourism development organization, Discover Kodiak will need to understand if a village
community wants to promote tourism to their location, and if so, to what degree.
3) Basic infrastructure and amenities, such as accommodations and transportation options, will
need to be considered prior to location promotion.
4) Tourism activity puts pressure on community utility infrastructure (water, sewer, garbage,
electricity); city and tribal communities may need to assess the cost of this increased pressure
and consider revenue generation options to support
ECONOMIC RESILIENCE: Increased tourism capabilities and infrastructure in Kodiak and
participating village communities supports increased economic diversification in the region. Statewide,
visitor industry employment represents 1 out of 13 jobs, which varies around the state. At report time,
this figure for the Kodiak region is not known. Tourism is essentially exporting the tourists’ experience.
Export activities are drivers of economic development.

Evaluation Framework:
- Number of jobs created after implementation of CEDS:
1) Energy Cluster: ½ FTE
2) Environmental Program Cluster: ½ FTE
3) Internet Connectivity: 1 FTE
Jobs Created directly with success of 3 of CEDS goals: 2 FTE’s
- Number and types of investments undertaken in the region:
Food Security:
- The “Small Tribes of Kodiak – Economic Stability through Food Security” project,
funded through a grant from the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) has
started in four villages in the Kodiak Archipelago: Port Lions, Larsen Bay, Old
Harbor, and Ouzinkie. The project began in October 2015 and has been
progressing well. The budget is for about $400,000 per year for 3 years for a total of
$1.2 Million. (FEDERAL FUNDS)
• The project funding requires a 25% match in investments which have been
received from a variety of sources, including participating tribal
governments, city government, Kodiak Island Housing Authority, and
KANA. The matching funds have come in the form of land leases,
supplies, and paid labor to project support staff. For the $1.2Million total
project, the match amount will be $300,000.
- The Food Cooperative Grocery store project is working through the planning
process, which will include investing in a series of studies and business plan
documents that must be created. Funding for these activities have been secured
through an $85,000 investment by a local community organization called Healthy
Tomorrows, funded through Providence Hospital. As of June 30, 2017,
approximately ½ of these funds remain to support planning activities. (PRIVATE
FUNDS)
- The Food Cooperative Grocery store has officially registered as a business and has
begun to accept private individual ownership investments in the form of shares. As
of June 30, 2017, 220 membership shares have been sold at $150 each for $33,000.
(PRIVATE FUNDS)
Fisheries/Maritime: Although unknown in size, investments in the educational system infrastructure
through the public university system have and will continue to occur. For example, Kodiak College
has added a full time Maritime Workforce Development Coordinator to their staff and Kodiak
College has leased shop space to use for Maritime Workforce Development class room space.
Continued monitoring of investment within this Economic Cluster will be utilized to evaluate
effectiveness of workforce development capacity enhancement. Metrics to evaluate actual job
creation will be necessary as evolution of this economic cluster continues.
Energy: The grant received by the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference allowed for a contract to
be provided to the Kodiak Area Native Association to fund activities of a Kodiak Region Energy
Coordinator. This contract represents a total investment of $50,000 per year for three years, plus an

additional $8,883 to cover additional travel costs for a total of $158,883 over a three year period.
Additional quantity and type of investment in the Energy Economic Cluster will be determined
based on each of the village communities’ implementation of identified priorities.
- Number of jobs retained in the region:
Job retention in the Kodiak Region, specifically in the village communities, is primarily related to the
Food Security economic cluster. There are seven jobs that were retained through the continuation of
the Administration for Native Americans grant that has a goal to create self-sustaining agricultural
business that will be owned by the tribes in four village communities.
- Amount of private sector investment in the region after implementation of the CEDS,
and changes in the economic environment of the region:
Food Security: Pending successful funding of the Administration for Native Americans grant
application to create tribally owned agricultural businesses, development of food distribution
businesses, likely sales direct to consumers or a cooperative model, created through private
investment, will be a natural evolution of this Economic Cluster. Further CEDS revisions may be
able to identify steps in order to attract this private investment opportunity.
Fisheries/Maritime: Private sector investment in a frozen fish processing facility in Old Harbor is
the long term goal of that community’s multi-pronged economic development efforts. While the
timeframe has not been established, the potential for this investment could have a substantial effect
on the community. Further private investment in the fisheries economic cluster includes a local tribal
council’s purchase of a cannery property. This private investment was financed, with the amount of
the purchase wishing to remain confidential at this time, but was a significant investment for the
future of the tribal council and hopefully for the future of downtown Kodiak.

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY 2023-06 Rezoning Allman Addition Tract A, Commonly
Known As 1240 Mill Bay Road From B-Business District to PL - Public Use
Lands District
ORIGINATOR: Mike Scarcelli Community Development Department Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to advance Ordinance No. FY2023 -06 to public hearing at the next regular
meeting of the Assembly.
DISCUSSION:
Background: The Request is to Rezone Allman Addition Tract A, commonly known
as 1240 Mill Bay Road from Business District (B) to Public Use Lands District (PL) in
the Official Zoning Map of Kodiak Island Borough. The City of Kodiak had purchased
land to develop a City Fire Station. The land was selected after extensive site selection
that included various public meetings. The site offers better response times and is out
of the anticipated worst-case scenario of the inundation zones for a tsunami event. The
land requires a Public Use Lands zoning to develop the fire station. The Public Use
Lands District allows for development of a fire station subject to site plan approval by
the Planning and Zoning Commission. During the Public Hearing, the applicant had
provided materials as to site and traffic designs that mitigated concerns about traffic
and noise impacts. If rezoned, the future site plan approval process could further
address design standards of any proposal. Overall, there was unanimous support for
the rezone due to the overwhelming benefit to the whole of the community by this
proposed critical facility.
A rezone requires an amendment to the Official Zoning Map and a simultaneous
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. This proposed
ordinance takes care of both of those requirements. In addition, this ordinance varies
from prior similar ordinances in that it is of a permanent nature, includes the actual map
changes being adopted, and includes a certification section for the said maps.
Procedural History: Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend
approval of the rezone with the recommended findings. Action Taken: 6 – 0, August
17, 2022, at a Regular Meeting of the P&Z Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not adopt the ordinance; or in the alternative, amend the ordinance to approve the
zone change subject to special limitations

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
REPORT DATE: August 11, 2022
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Community Development Department Director
CASE NO: 22-015
REQUEST: Rezone from Business District to Public Use Lands District.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commission advises the Borough Assembly to
approve this rezone request; or in the alternative recommend a rezone
subject to special limitations; or in the alternative to postpone
consideration until applicant submits more information regarding
traffic and noise impacts.
APPLICANT: City of Kodiak (Landowner)
AGENT: Deputy City Manager, Josephine Bahnke
LOCATION: 1240 Mill Bay Road
LEGAL: Allman Addition Tract A
LOT SIZE: 1.5 Acres (65,422 s.f.)
CURRENT USE: Undeveloped, vacant
CURRENT ZONING: B-Business (KIBC 17.90)
PROPOSED ZONING: PL – Public Use Lands District (KIBC 17.130)
SITE VISIT: Yes. Walked site, drove area, surveyed surrounding area, and took photos
(attached).
NOTICE: The Community Development Department sent a public hearing notice to
each owner of property within 1,000 feet from the exterior boundary of the
land described in the application. (KIBC 17.195.040.B.3). A total of two
hundred and twenty-three (223) public hearing notices were mailed on
August 2, 2022. One (1) public comment was received as of the date this
report was prepared, which was in support of rezone.
SUMMARY OF REZONE REQUEST AND APPLICATION SUPPPORTING
MATERIALS
The intent of the application is to change the current zoning of the Business District that does not
allow for the operation of a Fire station to a Public Use Lands district which does allow for a Fire
Station as a permitted use subject to a site plan approval by the Planning Commission.
The applicant provided the “Site Selection and Predevelopment Study,” that was completed in
June 28, 2021. This study included a team of professional planners, architects, Fire Station
specialists, a variety of engineers, and cost estimators.

Public Hearing Date: August 17, 2022
Page 2 of 31
After a magnitude 7.9 earthquake on January 23, 2018 (and the prior 1964 Tsunami), the critical
need for a City Fire Station that did not have ‘the fatal flaw’ of the existing City Fire Station of
being within the tsunami inundation zone for a worst-case scenario became even more apparent.
In 2019, the City of Kodiak made replacing the existing facility a top priority. The site selection
process began in September 2019 and continued through May 2021.The proposed facility is a
“Critical Facility, Category IV, as defined by FEMA and ASCE 7, Minimum Design Loads for
Buildings and Other Structures” (AKA an essential facility that enables local emergency
responders and their equipment to stay safe and to respond to major disaster events). Overall, the
need for a new facility was due to age of existing facility, location of existing facility within
inundation zones, and the need for a critical facility to better protect the public and first
responders during a disaster event.
The study presented information on the site selection process and timeline and included
analyzing best locations that considered response time, inundation maps, cost-estimation,
required space lists, concept plans and three (3) alternative site and concept plans for the
proposed location of the rezone. In addition, alternative site comparisons were presented. The
City acquired the proposed site in early 2021. Response time was identified as being the most
important factor in their presented study in regards to site selection. (see page 18 of applicant’s
site selection study). The application presented 3 various versions of site design. At least one site
plan was unclear as to how it interacts with the surrounding neighborhood due to lack of
orientation info. The proposed site provides excellent response times, is a vacant 1.5 acre parcel,
and is outside the worst case inundation zone.
Staff Note: The original application and site selection study is missing any discussion about the
lack of proper zoning and conflict with the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use maps, or any
analysis or discussion as to traffic impacts and noise impacts on the surrounding uses which
include higher density multi-family residential and single-family residential uses and light retail
and business use; nor any proposed mitigation measures to address those obvious impacts. Staff
did reach out to the applicant several times as well as the planners who prepared traffic studies in
an attempt to get this information, which during staff meetings with the applicant and during the
work session, the applicant indicated that additional changes and supplemental information will
be provided to staff and the Commission. This material is anticipated to include refined site
design and traffic impact analysis. The site design is anticipated to address some of the concerns
and to bolster the applicant’s position that the site design in and of itself mitigates much of the
concerns regarding compatibility with surrounding uses.
There is a concern that one traffic study from DOWL in 2003 that indicates certain intersections
need improvement may present a different perspective from this newer traffic study. Regardless
of whether the proposed newer traffic study indicates there need not be traffic mitigation and
there will be no impact, it is safe to assume that an emergency response vehicle responding from
northeast to Birch and Powell intersections along Mill Bay Road will interact with traffic and
that these intersections are not in line with the trend of intersections near newer developed fire
stations that incorporate Traffic Control mitigation measures such as Emergency Response
Preemption Devices (e.g. smart lights). Therefore, there is support for road intersection
improvement in this community regardless of whether it is tied to this specific project. The

applicant did indicate that warning signage and potential lights may be incorporated into the site
and street design, which is one of the mitigation measures staff have identified.
CONSIDERATION OF SITE DESIGN VERSUS CONSIDERATION OF POTENTIAL
USES WITHIN PROPOSED ZONE
While specific site design is not necessarily a part of the decision-making process for whether to
recommend approval or to approve a rezone, the consideration of all of the potential uses that
would be permitted is a valid consideration in general. One of those potential uses if the rezone is
approved is a fire station, which we know is the intent of the applicant. Therefore, in general, the
type of impacts a fire station would have on the surrounding neighborhood is a valid
consideration. If the impacts are negative to the surrounding neighborhood there is justification
to recommend denial or to deny this request or to approve with special limitations. Therefore, the
consideration of mitigation is supported if that can be provided to lead to a justification of
approval to protect the character of the surrounding neighborhood and minimize conflicts.
Conditions, Special Limitations, and Site Design Criteria
The issue of whether a recommendation and/or approval of the rezone request could contain
“conditions of approval” was raised by the Commission during the work session of August 10,
2022. Staff have deferred the answer to that question to the Borough Attorney and specifically
briefed the Borough Attorney on that question and issue at hand. The answer is as follows: per
the Borough Attorney, there are two paths to requiring ‘conditions:’ One way is through
approving a rezone “subject to special limitations;” and the other way is through the site plan
approval process envisioned by section 17.130.020 (permitted use site plan review for Public
Use Lands District). This second path is the path that planning staff as well as the Borough
Attorney recommend. How this would function would be an advisement to the Borough
Assembly to approve the rezone. And then when the applicant was prepared to move forward
with site plan development, they would submit a detailed plan with a zoning compliance
application which would go before the Commission for approval. At that time, based on
standards and criteria contained in the Comprehensive Plan and Kodiak Island Borough General
Code the Commission could require site design subject to such criteria and means.
STAFF SUMMARY OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ZONGING, CODE, PROCESS,
ANALYSIS, AND RECOMMENDATION
This request is to change the zone from Business to Public Use Lands zoning district to allow for
the development of a fire station. As is, the zone does not allow for development of a fire
station. The existing business district would have to changed to Public Use Lands to allow for a
fire station.
The need for a fire station is critical to the safety of the community. A critical
facility, like the one envisioned for this site, is essential to our first responders
who risk their lives to respond to emergencies, and essential to their ability to
remain safe and respond during disaster events. The proposed facility would
increase the safety of the community. The current location is a very good

location for them due to response times and being outside the inundation zones.
Staff has emphasized these above statements for the purpose of a clear and
bold message of support.
There is some uncertainty and concern as to the nature of the noise and traffic impacts. In the
past, the City of Kodiak had identified existing traffic safety issues at the T intersection of
Birch/Mill Bay Road and Powell/Mill Bay Road. While staff believes this is a very good location
for the proposed fire station, staff also believes more study and mitigation measures to improve
traffic safety and potentially reduce negative impacts from noise should occur prior to formal
consideration for site design (This site design approval process would occur after a rezone
approval subject to section 17.130.020).
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the critical need for a critical facility and fire station. The
City of Kodiak is integral to the emergency response system and excellent providers of this
essential function within our community. Their commitment and investment is beneficial to the
well-being and safety of the community as a whole. In addition, the compatibility of land uses is
also a consideration. There has been identified need for improvements at the T intersections of
Birch and Powell along Mill Bay Road in the current Comprehensive Plan. This is therefore a
balancing of different interests and priorities between the community at large and nearby
property owners and the public that maybe impacted by the proposed development. The
Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map do not support the rezone and would require
amendment if approved. This process is laid out and envisioned by code. Overall, staff do not
view the current Future Land Use Map as an obstacle to approval. The main Comprehensive Plan
considerations are 1) consistency with its goals and objectives; 2) compatibility with surrounding
land uses, and 3) minimization of conflicts through this process.
Kodiak Island Borough Code Title 17 lays out the process for the approval of a rezone of land
use districts, which requires a recommendation of approval to the Assembly (see below for
specific code). The Assembly must than also approve via a legislative act with two readings that
also includes a section that amends the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. If the
rezone is approved, Section 17.130.020 requires this Commission to approve any site plan of any
proposed permitted use development.
Traffic and Safety Impacts From Emergency Response Vehicles
There is no doubt that the presence and purpose of emergency response vehicles makes our
communities as a whole safer; however, there is still a corresponding risk of harm to the public
and the emergency responders themselves. “In 2015, there were 16,600 reported Emergency
service vehicle incidents (ESVIs) involving emergency vehicles and 700 involving personally
operated vehicles, resulting in a total of 1,200 reported injuries during that year—an 88 percent
increase from 2014. Intersections are the most common site of ESVIs, and high speeds during
emergency operations increase the risk of collision and rollover through reduced reaction times
and stopping distances, weight shifts, and lane departures. The incidence of crash-related injuries
and fatalities among fire personnel has not significantly improved over time” (Bui, et al, below).
ESVIs accounted for almost a third of all on-duty firefighter fatalities and was the second leading
cause of fatalities among the profession in 2016 (Management, Driver Training, and Telematics,
Burgess and Bui, 2018, Fire Apparatus Magazine). This article further stated:

Case No. 22-015
Public Hearing Date: August 17, 2022
Page 5 of 31
“A comprehensive risk management program, coupled with enhanced driver
training and real-time driver data monitoring, can effectively reduce ESVIs.
Enhanced driver training programs focusing on hands-on exercises such as rodeos
and teach back improve vehicle operations and increase safety. Data and metrics
should be used for monitoring driver behavior and ESVIs, and these data should
be incorporated into a comprehensive safety program to further improve
personnel safety.”
Environmental engineering interventions are another method to reduce risk to the responders and
public - these include things like road improvements, traffic controls and warning lights at
intersections.
Prospective Traffic Safety Interventions
The following are the types of traffic intervention measures that can mitigate potential harm to
the public and first responders:
1. Road Improvements: especially at T intersections and Y intersections.
2. Traffic Controls
a. Emergency Response Preemption Devices (e.g. smart lights)
3. Emergency Responders Enhanced Driver Training
4. Data monitoring of vehicles
5. Comprehensive Safety Program for Emergency Responders that incorporates training and
data
6. Traffic Barriers (e.g. barrier gate, cones)
7. Warning Signage
8. Public Information and Education programs
9. Police escort of response vehicles and education/warning/ticketing of unsafe drivers
10. Street Trees (calming effect on traffic, increase pedestrian safety)
The Pros and Cons of Sirens and Resulting Negative Impacts from Noise Pollution
Sirens are a universal warning sound understood by all and used by all emergency responders.
Their use increases safety by warning all road users and those nearby to the existence of an
emergency and the approach of an emergency response vehicle. While this sound has its benefits,
it also has its impacts. Typically, the standard siren produces over 120 decibels of sound, which
if near can cause pain and damage to ears and hearing (CDC). In addition, noise pollution, can
cause a variety of health impacts, including sleep disturbances, impacts to mental health,
cardiovascular effects (Medical News Today and 2017 Paper: “Noise Pollution & Human
Health: A Review” by Jariwala, et al). This paper stated unequivocally:
“Noise produces direct and cumulative adverse effects that impair health and that
degrade residential, social and working environment with corresponding real
(economic) and intangible (well-being) losses. Noise represents an important
public health problem that can lead to hearing loss, sleep disruption,
cardiovascular disease, social handicaps, reduced productivity, negative social
behaviour, annoyance reactions, absenteeism and accidents. It can impair the
ability to enjoy one's property and leisure time and increases the frequency of
antisocial behaviour. Noise adversely affects general health and well-being in the
same way as does chronic stress. It adversely affects future generations by

degrading residential, social, and learning environments with corresponding
economic losses. The aim of enlightened governmental controls should be to
protect citizens from the adverse effects of airborne pollution, including those
produced by noise. People have the right to choose the nature of their acoustical
environment; it should not be imposed by others.”
How to Reduce Noise Pollution and The Resulting Negative Impacts
The first priority is mitigation at its point source of origin, the siren. For first responders and
emergency sirens, this can be as simple as delaying the initiation of the sirens and beginning with
emergency light use if possible or reducing the volume of sirens. This approach may be limited
due to operating procedures, equipment technology, and regulations regarding emergency
response.
The second priority is protection from noise impacts by those near the point source. This can
include personal protection controls like earmuffs or ear plugs.
The third priority is sound attenuation of noise through construction of noise insulation controls.
This can include increased insulation and drywall, baffling of vents, vents designed to mitigate
noise impacts, double or triple pained windows, and thicker and/or insulated doors with better
sealing. In addition, home and business design that orients the receiver (i.e. the people) away
from the point source such as moving bedrooms and other sensitive areas where people
congregate more often away from the point source of the noise.

Impacts to Surrounding Uses and Compatibility with Neighborhood
Considering all of the information contained herein, the issue with compatibility to the surrounding
neighborhood and impacts to the community at large that may come from any potential future use from
the requested rezone is a prime consideration. On one hand, and perhaps overwhelmingly, a critical
facility in the proposed location increases the safety and benefits to the community as a whole as well as
protects and benefits the emergency responders themselves and together those are large and weighty
positive benefits. Again, staff cannot emphasis this enough: the overwhelming positive impact for a
critical facility fire station that is not in an inundation zone benefits the community as a whole. On the
other hand, the local area such as the adjacent neighbors will be impacted: some of these impacts will be
positive, but a large portion of impacts will be negative. The local neighbors bear the burden of the
negative impacts more so than the community at large. These impacts call for careful consideration and
potential conditions of approval to minimize the impacts through site design. In addition, there are higher
density residential uses in the vicinity that may be impacted by noise. In line with these considerations is
the fact that already there may be evidence that the proposed fire station may be impacting residential
uses. A neighbor has testified that their property that is used as a residential rental has received less
interest once a proposed fire station was proposed. There may be a minimal impact to the residential
housing market due to loss of supply of rezoned parcels.
Please note: Staff have included more detailed information on surrounding land use, maps,
pictures, Code sections, and Comprehensive Plan sections below; and concludes with a
formal recommendation and motion for consideration.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
The lot described in this application has a Commercial/Business proposed future land use designation per
the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan (See Comp Plan Figures 4.2 and 11.1, see page 8
of staff report). While currently in conflict with the request to rezone, should the Planning Commission
recommend approval and the Assembly approve the rezone, that Land Use Map would simultaneously be
amended in the same legislative act. Commercial: This designation is intended for commercial uses
allowed in the Borough’s Retail Business, Business, and Urban Neighborhood Commercial zones, which
include a variety of retail and other businesses (Comp. Plan Ch.4.13).Public Facilities: This zone is
intended for public facilities such as water or wastewater treatment facilities, police or fire stations and
other public facilities, not including parks and recreation facilities (Comp. Plan Ch.4.13).
APPLICABLE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS
• Goals, Policies & Implementation Actions Goal: Regulate and manage land uses to
balance the rights of private property owners with community values and objectives.
Policies Maximize compatibility of adjacent land uses and minimize conflicts through
zoning, buffering, design standards and other means. Protect undeveloped gravel deposits
in undeveloped areas from conflicts with other potentially incompatible uses through
zoning, land acquisition and buffering. Zone land to meet future housing, commercial,
industrial and other land needs (Ch. 4.28)
• Goal: Support commercial businesses and areas within the Borough, including in
downtown Kodiak. Policies Plan for land uses, transportation facilities and public
improvements in commercial areas in a way that supports the viability of local
businesses. Zone land and coordinate planning in the Kodiak urban area in a way that
supports the downtown, as well as other important commercial areas. Support efforts by
local businesses and business organizations throughout the Borough to enhance existing
and potential new businesses, particularly in areas that would benefit from economic
revitalization. (Ch.5.20).
• Intersection improvements. Intersection improvement projects have been identified by
City of Kodiak staff at two separate locations along Mill Bay Road to enhance overall
safety and operations. The first location is the “T” intersections at Birch Street-Powell
Avenue and the second is the “T” intersections at Benny Benson Drive-Von Scheele
Way. In April, 2003, a study was conducted by DOWL Engineers that analyzed existing
and future traffic operations and safety, evaluated design concepts, and identified a
recommended alternative.(Ch 7.3-4)
• Goals, Policies & Implementation Actions Goal: Support the state, cities and local service
districts in continuing to provide adequate law enforcement, fire protection and other
emergency services. Policies Support efforts by the Alaska State Troopers to increase
law enforcement staffing and coverage on the road system. Endorse efforts of local
communities to retain village public safety officers (VPSOs). Support existing local
fire protection districts and volunteer organizations; promote formation of new districts
or groups within local communities where resources are available (CH 8.10). Issue:

STAFF FORMAL RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the commission postpone the consideration until the applicant provides a study as to
traffic and noise impacts to surrounding land uses and provides mitigation measures to reduce any
negative impact to the public’s health, safety, convenience, and welfare.
APPROPRIATE MOTION
Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is:
Motion to recommend approval of the rezoning of Allman Addition Tract A commonly known as 1240
Mill Bay Road from B-Business District to PL – Public Use Lands District.
Or in the alternative
Motion to recommend approval of the rezoning of Allman Addition Tract A commonly known as 1240
Mill Bay Road from B-Business District to PL – Public Use Lands District subject to the following
special limitations: (List limitations).
Or in the alternative
Move to postpone the rezoning of Allman Addition Tract A commonly known as 1240 Mill Bay Road
from B-Business District to PL – Public Use Lands District until the applicant can provide more
information such as a professional study as to traffic and noise impacts and potential mitigating measures
should those exist.
These findings of fact for support of rezone.
Motion to accept the following findings of fact.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The rezone is consistent with the objectives of the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough comprehensive
plan, specifically the sections that identify the need for a fire station and the compatibility of land
uses and overall safety of the community and future site plan approval process will minimize
conflict with surrounding land uses.
2. The rezone would implement a comprehensive plan action to promote public safety and
emergency responses services while balancing the compatibility of land uses.
3. There is a need and obvious justification for a fire station that is a critical facility located in a
location outside of an inundation zone with better response times.
4. The rezone would assist the owners’ ability to develop the parcel for a fire station, while the site
plan approval process would mitigate any harm to the public health, safety, and welfare.

IVERVEW
Kodiak has a critical need to construct a new Fire Station to protect its emergency response personnel and equipment.The existing Fire Station,
located at 219 Lower Mill Bay Road,is beyond its useful life,located in the tsunami inundation zone and falls well short of best design practices
for a fire station.The existing station was constructed in three phases (Phase 1 in early 605;Phase 2 in late 60s;Phase 3 in late 70s or early 80s)
and was never designed with a specific purpose of being a fire station.The building served as a public works building for several years before
becoming a fire station.Replacement of the station has been a City desire for years,but the need became critical after a magnitude 7.9
earthquake on January 23,2018.That event highlighted structural deficiencies that put emergency personnel and equipment at risk,making it
likely that personnel and/orequipment may not be able to respond quickly after another major earthquake and/ortsunami.In addition,the
building's mechanical systems fall well short of what would be required to keep personnel safe from harmful fumes from the apparatus bays
(sleeping quarters are directly connected to the bays without a mechanical system to prevent cross-contamination).
In 2019,the City made replacement of the fire station a top priority.From September 2019 through May 2021,a site selection and
predevelopment process took place to identify the best location for a new Fire Station,develop a space list for the new station and right-size the
project to fit current and future needs.Over the course of a year-and-a half,and in spite of a pandemic,a new site was selected for a
replacement Fire Station at 1240 Mill Bay Road.A space list totaling 21,750 square feet and a concept plan were established as the ’basis-of-
design’for the new facility.The new station is to be designed as a ‘Critical Facility’,also known as an essential facility,able to respond
immediately after an earthquake or other major event,and following best practices to keep emergency personnel and equipment safe from

ACE T I ONCEPTU FLIIR PLANS
The space list for the replacement Fire Station was developed in consultation with the Chief and
Deputy Chief and is based on best practices for modern fire stations,including the State of
Washington "Healthy in,Healthy Out”guidelines.The station shall include a minimum of five
drive—throughapparatus bays,with a strong preference to add a sixth bay to improve
operational efficiency.The station shall be constructed as a Critical Facility,Category IV,as
defined by FEMAand ASCE7,Minimum Design Loadsfor Building and Other Structures.Design
of the new facility should balance efficient operations,safety and the desire for the new facility
to have a strong civic presence.
Apparatus Bays at the new facility shall be designed to accommodate safe return of emergency
personnel from an event without contaminating the facility.Layout of the facility shall permit
cleaning of personnel and equipment before it is brought into the primary parts of the building.
The bays should also be supported by all the spaces necessary to reprovision equ pment for
quick turnaround.
Design of the apparatus bays,in conjunction with the hose drying tower,should anticipate
personnel training needs.The concept design includes a service mezzanine that,in conjunction
with the tower,allows for indoor training during inclement weather.
The "House”side of the station includes administrative offices,a training room and station livin
gquartersforpersonnel.The training room should be designed so that it can be used as a backup
emergency operations center should the need arise.Likewise,the small conference room shoul
dhaveadequatepoweranddatatoserveasabackupdispatchcenter.Living quarters include
individual sleeping rooms for six emergency personnel,shared toilets/showers,a itness room
and appropriately sized kitchen and dining/living/lounge areas.
An order-of-magnitude cost estimate was created for the site.A total project budget of $24.4M
is recommended for a five-bay station at the site,with a recommended $700k additive alternate
for a sixth apparatus bay.This budget includes design,project administration,permits,
construction,inspections and furnishing ofthe station.
The space list and concept floor plans are included on the following pages.

The site selected for the Fire Station,1240 Mill Bay Road,was acquired from Ms.Kim in early 2021.The property fronts on Mill Bay Road and has
ample frontage to support an apron serving up to six drive-thru apparatus bays while also accommodating necessary parking and return vehicle
access.It is located well clear of the tsunami inundation zone and allows for excellent emergency response times.The site backs onto the access
drive to Baranof Park.Mill Bay Road and much of the existing site sit several feet above this access drive,and an existing retaining wall currently
exists near the south of the site.In order to create enough site depth for the front apron,station and working yard,a new retaining wall is
proposed at the south of the site.At Council's request,the budget plans for a covered stair connection and walkway from Baranof Park to Mill
Bay Road.

2019
September:In September 2019,the City issued and RFP for site selection for future Fi
an October 4”‘deadline.Five proposals were received.Concurrently,the City began
ECI,on a space program and site selection for the new Fire Station.
October:The October workshop focused on development of an initial space list for the fire station and identification of
government owned sites to add to the list of private sites from the RFP.During this site visit several government owned sites
were added to the list.All sites were visited as part of an initial assessment.
November:The November workshop focused on review of the identified sites and finalization of a site selection matrix,along
with review of the initial space list.At this time,the space list included seven drive-thru apparatus bays at request of the Chie
fandwithendorsementofCouncil.This resulted in a total building size of 24,300 square feet,which set the basis for site
evaluation.Another key outcome of the November workshop was a Council decision that emergency response travel time be
the most important criteria in site selection.The Council requested that the team review emergency responses to determine
where most calls occur,and to map response time for each of the sites.
At the November 12,2019 session,the Council requested that a Steering Committee for site selection of the new fire station
be formed to guide the Council's decision making process.The Mayor,two Council members and 2 at-large members of the
public were appointed on January 1,2020.
In December 2019,the Borough Manager suggested that the City consider yet another site owned by the Borough and located
at Egan Way and Rezanof Drive.
2020
February:Due to inclement weather,the Steering Committee missed its January meeting and met on February 11,2020.Due
diligence on site selection continued.At this time,results of a study on Fire &EMS call response locations and travel times
were evaluated for merits of each site and to gauge whether the location achieved and acceptable response time of five
minutes or less.This resulted in three sites rising to a shortlist:Rezanof,Existing Station and Coon Field.Rezanof was viewed
as the preferred site due to location,but site availability was still in question.Significant concerns existed about the Existing
worst case tsunami inundation zone,and Coon Field's displacement of a ballfield.

March:The COVID-19pandemic slowed progress on site selection while the City focus
emerging emergency.
0 July—September:City staff continued to await authorization from the KIBAssembly to conduct an environmental assessment
to determine feasibility of the Rezanof property to become the future site of the new Fire Station.The City held out hope for
this property due to the beneficial features of the location,especially placing it out of the inundation zone,achievement of
response times of five minutes or less to all locations in the City,including the economic epicenter at ports,harbors and seafood
processing facilities.Ultimately the KIBdenied the City's request in January 2021,which unfortunately cost the project a lot of
time and resources.
On November 10,2020,the City Council and Fire Station Steering Committee received a presentation from ECIand Miller/
HullPartnershipon‘Healthy In,Healthy Out’which addressed the importance of Fire Station location and best practices for reducing
exposure to carcinogens by creating red,yellow and green zones in the station.Sustainable and healthy environments for
firefighters,fire response times,and civic identity were the focus of the workshop.
2021
January through March:The team conducted a site due diligence investigation for the three shortlisted sites.This included
coordination of a Phase I ESA,utility,traffic,geotechnical and site civil investigations at the Rezanof site,which were performed
by Bristol Engineering Services.ECI was assisted by the Miller Hull Partnership,designers of national award-winning fire
stations.ECIworked with the Fire Chief to explore site layout options for the three sites and developed a cost estimate for
each option.A summary presentation was provided to the City Council in February 2021.Deliverables included site concept
layouts,including a site plan overlaid on drone footage previously gathered by ECI.Another deliverable was an order-of-
magnitude estimate for site development costs including:hazardous material abatement and demolition of existing buildings,
traffic safety improvements,utility relocation costs and site preparation costs.The February and March Council workshops had
two key results:1)a request that the team find ways to tighten up the building program to see if costs could be reduced;and
2)a growing recognition that each of the three shortlisted sites had a potential fatal flaw.
April and May:ECIand Miller Hull worked with the Chief and Deputy Chief to refine the space list and develop concept floor
plans for the station.This process resulted in a smaller baseline building containing a minimum of five drive-thru apparatus
bays with a strong preference for a sixth bay to improve operations.Training functions were integrated with a hose drying
tower and service mezzanine,and front-of-house functions were reviewed with a critical eye towards space efficiency.
smaller baseline building of 21,750 emerged.
0 During this time,the City Council adopted state and federal legislative priorities to include the New Fire Station and the Cit

Manager entered the project description and request through the Alaska State Legislatures CAPSISportal.Priorities were also
provided to the AK Congressional Delegation for possible ‘earmarks’.We were notified in late April 2021 that the project had
been included in Rep.Don Young's top 10 list of priority capital projects for Alaska.
Council Work Session on May 10,2021:ECIpresented options and costs for the Old Library Site and Coon Field.They requested
same information for the KIBEgan Way &Rezanof Site and discussed need for public input through an open house and survey.
After action on this direction included the drafting of the survey and scheduling of the open house.
Following May 10,2021 work session,members of the Council walked the newly acquired Ms.Kim property and directed Cit
ystafftoworkwithECItodevelopafittest,site layout and cost comparison for Ms.Kim's site.The smaller footprint (five to si
xapparatusbaysversusseven)allowed the team to re-evaluate Ms.Kim's site,1240 Mill Bay Road,which had been a favorite
of the Chief early in the process but was dismissed because it was too small to support a seven-bay station.The smaller building
proved a good fit on the site which had recently been acquired by the City.During their May 25,2021,Council selected the Ms.
Kim property as the location for the new Fire Station.

To help identify potential sites,the process started with a Request for Information (RFI)to identify available parcels.Concurrent with the RFI,the
site selection team reviewed City and other government owned sites to identify potential parcels.To achieve the best possible emergency
response times,the RFIidentified Primary and Secondary areas of acquisition priorities which were identified on a map that accompanied the

RE: Kodiak Fire Station – Traffic Letter
Dear City and Borough Engineering and Planning Staff,
The project development team, working for the City of Kodiak, is pursuing a zone change for 1240 Mill
Bay Road, which has been selected as the new location for the City of Kodiak Fire Station. Currently,
1240 Mill Bay Road is zoned as Business. To accommodate the new fire station, rezoning to Public Use
Lands is necessary. This letter provides background information on the relocated fire station and
includes discussion on the lessened potential traffic impact under the proposed zoning.
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Currently, the City of Kodiak Fire station is located at 219 Lower Mill Bay Road. Due to space and access
constraints, the City conducted a study from 2019 to 2021 to evaluate alternative sites for the fire
station. The Study considered available sites, ability for the site to function as a critical/essential facility
in the case of an earthquake or tsunami, and emergency response times based on location. The selected
preferred alternative location for the fire station, 1240 Mill Bay Road, is a 1.3 acre site located
approximately 3,500 feet (0.66 miles) east of the existing fire station. Figure 1 details the proposed site
plan for the new fire station.
SITE ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
The proposed fire station site will include two access driveways to Mill Bay Road, which would only be
utilized by emergency vehicles and firefighter/EMT staff. The site will also include two driveways to
Chichenoff Street, which would be used for access to the main public, visitor, and administrative
parking. Several public parking spaces would be provided along Chichenoff Street, which would also
benefit the Baranof Park area.
A significant benefit for this new fire station site as compared to the existing site is that emergency
vehicles will be able to turn into the site and pull through the station bays. At the existing fire station
location, all emergency vehicles must make a backing maneuver on Mill Bay Road in order to back up
to the station facilities stopping traffic in both directions until the vehicles is safely out of the ROW.

TRIP GENERATION – TRAFFIC ESTIMATE
Proposed Zoning – Public Use Lands (Fire Station)
Estimating the trip generation (traffic) potential for a land use such as a fire station is heavily dependent
on staff size, shift scheduling and may ultimately vary day to day based on the number of emergency
calls and training schedules. It is anticipated that the new fire station will be staffed to include one
administrator, and three shifts of approximately four firefighter/EMT staff, suggesting that over a
typical 24-hour period up to 13 staff may travel to and from the site on a regular basis. Additionally,
Kodiak Fire receives approximately 1,200 emergency calls a year (3-4 per day on average), with
approximately two-thirds of those calls necessitating a smaller response vehicle or ambulance, and one
third of calls including a fire engine response vehicle.
Based on these anticipated operational characteristics, the proposed fire station land use is
estimated to generate up to 5 peak hour trips and 20 or fewer daily trips on a typical day. It is noted
that these are trips that already exist at the current fire station, which also directly accesses Mill Bay
Road, and are not new trips on the transportation network, rather the trips are relocated.
For comparison purposes, a trip generation estimate was prepared utilizing published PM peak hour
rates in the Engineers (ITE) 11th Edition Trip Generation Manual for the Fire and Rescue Station land
use. Table 2 summarizes the resulting trip generation estimate, which suggests the potential for 10
peak hour trips.
Table 1. Weekday Daily and PM ITE Trip Generation Estimate (Proposed Fire Station)
Notes:
1Daily trips estimated as 10x PM peak hour
2AM trips estimated as inverse of PM trips
Existing Zoning - Business
A trip generation estimate considering the existing Business zoning is provided as a comparison to the
proposed lane use. Table 1 summarizes a trip generation estimate utilizing the ITE 11th Edition Trip
Generation Manual, assuming the 1.3 acre site could theoretically develop into a retail/shopping center
land use similar to other adjacent uses along Mill Bay Road.
Table 2. Weekday Daily and PM Trip Generation Estimate (Existing Zoning)
As shown in Table 1, the trip generation potential of 1240 Mill Bay Road under the existing Business
zoning is significantly higher than the trip generation potential of the relocated fire station. As such,
the proposed zoning has a reduced potential traffic impact.

EMERGENCY VEHICLE WARNING SYSTEM
While the trip generation potential for the fire station is low, out of an abundance of caution, advance
signage to alert vehicles and pedestrian on Mill Bay Road to departing emergency response vehicles
will be provided. The signage, which generally include flashing lights that can be remotely activated by
emergency vehicles or staff, will be located in advance of the proposed fire station access driveways
to Mill Bay Road, in accordance with MUTCD spacing requirements.
CONCLUSION
In summary, based on this analysis and considering that the trip generation potential for the
proposed zoning is less than that of the existing zoning, we are requesting concurrence from City and
Brough planning staff that no further traffic impact analysis is necessary for this Fire Station.

Kodiak, Alaska 99615
Subject: Kodiak Fire Station – Noise Generation
Dear City and Borough Staff,
This letter is intended to confirm that the relocated City of Kodiak Fire Station, proposed to be
built at 1240 Mill Bay Road, will be designed in conformance with all relevant regulations and
building codes governing emergency service facilities for the State of Alaska.
The proposed facility will function as the main emergency response facility (fire, ambulance and
rescue) for the City, replacing the existing facility at 219 Lower Mill Bay Road which has multiple
deficiencies including being within the tsunami inundation zone. The replacement station
functions as a critical/essential facility and as such is designed with an added safety factor to
ensure survivability in a catastrophic seismic event.
It is understood that siting the station at this location requires a zone change from Business to
Public Land Use. This purpose of this letter is to address concerns regarding potential for noise
impacts generated from normal station operation.
In siting the new station, several measures were taken to reduce conflicts with neighboring
properties:
1. All response vehicles will be arriving and departing from the station along Mill Bay Road. No
emergency vehicles are expected to travel on Chichenoff Street.
2. The Station is designed such that response vehicles pull thru rather than back into the
Apparatus Bays. All vehicles will return from the west and depart from the east, reducing
conflicts and limiting audible impacts to the east side of the station, whose adjoining
properties are zoned Business.
3. No exterior on-site visual or audible alerts will be utilized in the Station design. Station
alerting is limited to interior areas only.
AGENDA ITEM #14.C.1.
Ordinance No. FY 2023-06 Rezoning Allman Addition Tract A, Commonly Know...Page 237 of 344
4. On average, the Kodiak Fire responds to 3-4 calls per day, most of which involve smaller
ambulance or rescue vehicles. Of those, a large majority are during daytime hours. Sirens only
operate when emergency vehicles are responding to an active call and only on Mill Bay Road,
a sound that is not new.
In accordance with codified performance standards 17.105.060, it is not anticipated that sounds
generated by normal station operation will exceed 90 decibels at any adjoining residential
property. In addition, both visual and landscape enhancements are planned at the property
boundaries to screen sounds generated by normal station functioning.
By comparison, a typical business could create considerably more noise due to vehicle trip
numbers (projected to be as high as 1,089) and patrons of the businesses which could include
repair garages, machine shops, eating and drinking establishments, motels, and others.
It is the intent and reputation of the Kodiak Fire Department to be a good neighbor while
bringing the highest level of professionalism and responsiveness to the citizens of Kodiak. This
relocation will improve response times and provide a much-needed public safety upgrade for
the region.
Sincerely,
Gary Wolf, AIA, LEED AP

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
STAFF REPORT
SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY 2023-07 Rezoning Allman Addition Block 2, Lot 1.
Commonly Known As 1234 Mill Bay Road From R-1 Single-Family Residential
District To B-Business District
ORIGINATOR: Mike Scarcelli Community Development Department Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to advance Ordinance No. FY2023 -07 to public hearing at the next regular
meeting of the Assembly.
DISCUSSION:
Background: The request is to rezone Allman Addition, Block 2, Lot 11, commonly
known as 1234 Mill Bay Road, from Single-family Residential (R1) district to Business
District (B) in the Official Zoning Map of Kodiak Island Borough. The applicant requests
this change due to the prospective future fire station. Overall, there was unanimous
support for the rezone due to surrounding mixed use and potential for the rezone and
development of the adjacent parcel located at 1240 Mill Bay Road.
A rezone requires an amendment to the Official Zoning Map and a simultaneous
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. This proposed
ordinance takes care of both of those requirements. In addition, this ordinance varies
from prior similar ordinances in that it is of a permanent nature, includes the actual map
changes being adopted, and includes a certification section for the said maps.
Procedural History: Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend
approval of the rezone with the recommended findings. Action Taken: 6 – 0, August
17, 2022, at a Regular Meeting of the P&Z Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not adopt the ordinance; or in the alternative, amend the ordinance to approve the
zone change subject to special limitations
FISCAL IMPACT:
De minimis: would require reprinting of several current edition maps in stock.

SUMMARY OF REZONE REQUEST AND APPLICATION SUPPPORTING MATERIALS
The applicant wishes to rezone this parcel in part due to the prospect of the future City of Kodiak
fire station being development directly adjacent to them as well as the character of the business
district that is directly adjacent to them on the other side of Mill Bay Road and on the other side
of the adjacent parcel. A prospective fire hall next door would have obvious impacts to
residential life. The noise of sirens and the impact from safety due to emergency response would
impact residential use greater than business use.
STAFF SUMMARY OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ZONGING, CODE, PROCESS AND
ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDATION
The current land use map would have to be amended. The nature of surrounding uses is a mix of
residential and business, with which this property is within close proximity. While streets tend to
be a proper delineator between zoning districts, considering all of the circumstances, such a
rezone may best allow buffers and compatibility of land uses, should the adjacent parcel be
rezoned to allow for a future fire station. Specifically, a business use that operates during typical
business hours would be less impacted by continuous operation of a fires station than would a
residential use that would be impacted by nighttime operations for example. Staff overall
believes stronger support for rezone will exist upon the condition the other parcel located at 1240
Mill Bay Road is rezoned to allow for a fire station. However, the applicant appears interested
moving forward either way.
Code requires a recommendation of approval and findings of fact for a rezone to go before the
Borough Assembly. To approve a rezone, the Assembly must take legislative action (2 readings)
that includes a section that amends the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map (when the
FLU Map conflicts with the proposed zoning).
One concern is spot zoning. The classic case is Griswold v. Homer 925 P.2d 1015 (Alaska 1996),
where the court stated: “Faced with an allegation of spot zoning, courts determine first whether
the rezoning is compatible with the comprehensive plan or, where no plan exists, with
surrounding uses. Courts then examine the degree of public benefit gained and the characteristics
of land, including parcel size and other factors indicating that any reclassification should have
embraced a larger area containing the subject parcel rather than that parcel alone. No one
particular characteristic associated with spot zoning, except a failure to comply with at least the
spirit of a comprehensive plan, is necessarily fatal to the amendment. Spot zoning analysis
depends primarily on the facts and circumstances of the particular case. Therefore the criteria are
flexible and provide guidelines for judicial balancing of interests.”
In this case, the Business zone is directly adjacent to subject parcel. The business zone operates
just across the street. The adjacent parcel 1240 Mill Bay Road is currently zoned Business
district, which supports the rezone. However, the adjacent parcel is being requested to being
rezoned to the Public Use Lands district for a fire station. Such as prospective change also
supports a rezone of this parcel to act as a buffer zone to adjacent residential uses.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
The lot described in this application has an Urban Residential proposed future land use designation per
the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan (See Comp Plan Figures 4.2 and 11.1). While
currently in conflict with the request to rezone, should the Planning Commission recommend approval
and the Assembly approve the rezone, that Land Use Map would simultaneously be amended in the same
legislative act.
APPLICABLE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE
DESIGNATIONS
Residential: This designation allows for a variety of urban level residential uses. It is generally applied
within incorporated cities and would allow for a mix of single-family and other types of housing
including those allowed in the R1, R2, R3, and SRO zones (Ch.4.13).
Commercial: This designation is intended for commercial uses allowed in the Borough’s Retail
Business, Business, and Urban Neighborhood Commercial zones, which include a variety of retail and
other businesses (Ch.4.13).
APPLICABLE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS
In general, residents of smaller communities recommend allowing for a mix of residential and
commercial or home employment uses in some portions of their communities, in combination
with assurances that non-residential uses will not adversely impact adjacent residents (Ch.4.11)
Land use conflicts is an overarching goal and policy found throughout the Comprehensive Plan.
(Ch 4.11, 4.26 …).
Goals, Policies & Implementation Actions Goal: Regulate and manage land uses to balance the
rights of private property owners with community values and objectives. Policies Maximize
compatibility of adjacent land uses and minimize conflicts through zoning, buffering, design
standards and other means. Protect undeveloped gravel deposits in undeveloped areas from
conflicts with other potentially incompatible uses through zoning, land acquisition and buffering.
Zone land to meet future housing, commercial, industrial and other land needs (Ch. 4.28)
Goal: Support commercial businesses and areas within the Borough, including in downtown
Kodiak. Policies Plan for land uses, transportation facilities and public improvements in
commercial areas in a way that supports the viability of local businesses. Zone land and
coordinate planning in the Kodiak urban area in a way that supports the downtown, as well as
other important commercial areas. Support efforts by local businesses and business
organizations throughout the Borough to enhance existing and potential new businesses,
particularly in areas that would benefit from economic revitalization. (Ch.5.20).

STAFF REPORT
SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY 2023-08 Rezoning Cliffpoint Estates Oceanfront Addition 4,
Lot 7, Commonly Known As 5917 Pinnacles Court, from RR2, Rural
Residential Two District, to NU, Natural Use District
ORIGINATOR: Mike Scarcelli Community Development Department Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to advance Ordinance No. FY 2023-08 to public hearing at the next regular
meeting of the Assembly.
DISCUSSION:
Background: The request is to rezone Cliffpoint Estates Oceanfront Addition 4, Lot 7,
commonly known as 5917 Pinnacles Court, from RR2, Rural Residential Two to NU,
Natural Use District in the Official Zoning Map of Kodiak Island Borough. The applicant
requests this change due to geographic conditions of the subject lot which includes
wetlands in the form of a pond. This wetland feature prevents and limits the use of the
property for residential purposes. The development is more of a shared community so
changing the zoning would allow a community recreational use and oceanfront access
that is consistent with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and surrounding land
uses. The Planning and Zoning Commission found the request to be consistent with
objectives in the Comprehensive Plan which included compatibility with surrounding
land uses and geographical justification for the request. Overall, there was unanimous
support for the rezone due to the geographic condition, the restrictive nature of the
Natural Use District, and the compatibility with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood.
A rezone requires an amendment to the Official Zoning Map and a simultaneous
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. This proposed
ordinance takes care of both of those requirements. In addition, this ordinance varies
from prior similar ordinances in that it is of a permanent nature, includes the actual map
changes being adopted, and includes a certification section for the said maps.
Procedural History: Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend
approval of the rezone with the recommended findings. Action Taken: 6 – 0, August
17, 2022, at a Special Meeting of the P&Z Commission.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not adopt the ordinance; or in the alternative, amend the ordinance to approve the
zone change subject to special limitations
FISCAL IMPACT:
De minimis: would require reprinting of several current edition maps in stock.

SUMMARY OF REZONE REQUEST AND APPLICATION SUPPPORTING MATERIALS
Applicant requests to rezone the subject parcel located at 5917 Pinnacles Court from RR2, Rural
Residential Two to NU, Natural Use District. The applicant’s goal and vision for this lot was to have Lot
7 be used for community use. They envision installing a pavilion (16 x 32) for use as a picnic shelter, a
waterless restroom, and more parking. In the future, they envision adding playground equipment and an
additional pavilion shelter. The change in zoning district would allow the community to develop the
recreational aspects of the vision for the community development. This lot is unable to be developed for
residential purposes.
STAFF SUMMARY OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ZONGING, CODE, PROCESS AND
ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDATION
Staff see no concerns regarding this request to rezone. The long-term future land use, the Communities’
development plan, the existing zoning, and the specific land features of the subject parcel all support the
rezoning of this land to Natural Use district. The natural use district would be a very protected use district
and would restrict the types of uses and structures that could be developed. The proposed use would be
inline with the nature and character of the proposed community as a whole.
The current land use map would have to be amended. The nature of surrounding uses is are
proposed rural residential two type uses. The area is largely undeveloped with a handful of RR2
style developments in the community already constructed and existing.
Code requires a recommendation of approval and findings of fact for a rezone to go before the
Borough Assembly. To approve a rezone, the Assembly must take legislative action (2 readings)
that includes a section that amends the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map (when the
FLU Map conflicts with the proposed zoning).
One concern is spot zoning. The classic case is Griswold v. Homer 925 P.2d 1015 (Alaska 1996),
where the court stated: “Faced with an allegation of spot zoning, courts determine first whether
the rezoning is compatible with the comprehensive plan or, where no plan exists, with
surrounding uses. Courts then examine the degree of public benefit gained and the characteristics
of land, including parcel size and other factors indicating that any reclassification should have
embraced a larger area containing the subject parcel rather than that parcel alone. No one
particular characteristic associated with spot zoning, except a failure to comply with at least the
spirit of a comprehensive plan, is necessarily fatal to the amendment. Spot zoning analysis
depends primarily on the facts and circumstances of the particular case. Therefore the criteria are
flexible and provide guidelines for judicial balancing of interests.”
In this case, the future land use map designated this area as conservation as a holding zone. As
this development was subdivided and the zoning changed in 2019, a rural residential zone, which
allows residential and agricultural use was applied. The return of the subject parcel to natural use
district is inline with the low density, rural and agricultural nature of the community at large,
while promoting the recreational vision for the community as a whole and protecting the subject
parcel which has wetland elements to it.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
The lot described in this application has a Rural residential land use designation according to prior rezone
that occurred in 2019. Prior to that, the land had a future land use designation of open space in the 2008
Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan (See Comp Plan Figures 4.2 and 11.1). While currently in
conflict with the request to rezone, should the Planning Commission recommend approval and the
Assembly approve the rezone, that Land Use Map would simultaneously be amended in the same
legislative act. Additionally, the surrounding area is designated in the future land use map of figure 11.9
as open space.
APPLICABLE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE
DESIGNATIONS
Rural Residential. This designation allows for residential development at rural densities where
municipal water and sewer treatment facilities are not available. Such development must occur
on larger lots and would include uses allowed in the RR, RR1 and RR2 zones. (Ch.4.13).
Open space. This designation is intended for park, recreation and open space areas and is
implemented at the zoning level by the wildlife and natural use zones. (Ch.4.13).
APPLICABLE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS
Land use conflicts is an overarching goal and policy found throughout the Comprehensive Plan.
(Ch 4.11, 4.26 …).
Goals, Policies & Implementation Actions Goal: Regulate and manage land uses to balance the
rights of private property owners with community values and objectives. Policies Maximize
compatibility of adjacent land uses and minimize conflicts through zoning, buffering, design
standards and other means. Protect undeveloped gravel deposits in undeveloped areas from
conflicts with other potentially incompatible uses through zoning, land acquisition and buffering.
Zone land to meet future housing, commercial, industrial and other land needs (Ch. 4.28).
In Chapter 9, pages 11 and 17, the Comprehensive Plan identifies the issue of preserving private
land for recreation access as a top priority and goal and policy of the plan to support such private
acquisition.
In Chapter 10, page 8, The Comp Plan identifies wetlands as a feature requiring special
protection.

the following performance standards: A. Must support a public need; B. Must minimize the
impact on the natural environment and shall preserve, to the maximum extent feasible and
prudent*, natural features, specifically: 1. Conditional uses in upland habitats must retain natural
vegetation coverage, natural drainage patterns, prevent excessive runoff and erosion, and
maintain surface water quality and natural groundwater recharge areas; and 2. Conditional uses
in estuaries, tideflats, and wetlands must assure water flow, natural circulation patterns, and
adequate nutrient and oxygen levels; and C. Although a particular conditional use may constitute
a minor change, the cumulative effect of numerous piecemeal changes can result in a major
impairment of the environment. The particular site for which a conditional use application is
made will be evaluated with the recognition that it may be part of a complete and interrelated
environmental area.
17.45.100 Fences, parking, and signs. Fences, parking areas, and signs are permitted when they
are necessary for the use of the property for a permitted and/or approved conditional use. 1

environmental, social, or economic problems that outweigh the public benefit to be derived from
compliance with the condition which is modified by the term “feasible and prudent.”

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the commission recommend approval of the rezone request.
APPROPRIATE MOTION
Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is:
Move to recommend approval of the rezoning of Cliffpoint Estates Oceanfront Addition 4, Lot 7,
commonly known as 5917 Pinnacles Court, from RR2, Rural Residential Two District to NU, Natural
Use District.
FINDINGS OF FACT IN SUPPORT OF A MOTION TO APPROVE REZONING
1. The rezone is consistent with the objectives of the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough comprehensive
plan, specifically the sections that identify the need for the compatibility of land uses and this
rezone promotes the compatibility with surrounding rural residential uses while also promoting
the community and natural characteristics of the subject parcel.
2. The rezone would implement a comprehensive plan action to balance the compatibility of
adjacent land uses with promoting protection of natural resources and private owners’ access to
recreational opportunities.
3. There is a need and justification for the subject property to be protected through the proposed
NU, Natural Use District zoning that would promote the protection of the natural environment by
restricting the type and extent of uses and structures that could be built and use the land.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
STAFF REPORT
SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Approval of Change Order No. 01 for Contract FY2022-09 with CH2M Hill
Engineering/Jacobs for Additional Services During Construction for the
Leachate Pretreatment Facility Project.
ORIGINATOR: Jena Hassinger, Environmental Specialist
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to authorize the Manager to Approve Change Order No. 01 for Contract FY2022 -09 with CH2M
Hill Engineering/Jacobs for additional services during construction for the Leachate Pretreatment Facility
Project.
DISCUSSION:
The project for the construction of the Leachate Pretreatment Facility is currently in the early stages.
The building supplier Varco Pruden suggested a change in orientation to the frame of the building to
the project contractor, Dawson Construction. After considering the changes Dawson Construction
asked Jacobs to revise and provide new drawings for approval. The changes were approved with
Change Order #2, which provided a reduction in construction costs (-$20,798.40) for Contract FY2022-
29 with Dawson Construction.
The costs for redesigning and providing new drawings ($9,998.40) were covered by funds allocated for
the services during construction under the current contract FY2022 -09 with Jacobs (CH2M Hill
Engineering). With the additional funds being taken out of the contract we need to add more to ensure
that we can cover the costs for the remaining tasks.
Change Order 01 for an additional $25,000.00 will allow for Jacobs to continue to provide services
during construction of this project which will include: special inspections of foundation rebar, review of
submittals, participation at work planning meetings, additional support for foundation redesign
housekeeping pad/floor drain, process skid geometry modifications, coordination for utilities and dr ain
connection, ongoing submittal reviews, and other support as requested by the Kodiak Island Borough.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Take no action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Total budget for the construction of the Leachate Pretreatment Facility is $2,888,000. With the changes
in design as outlined above we will save about $10,000 in construction costs. Which will provide more
contingency for if the unexpected arises.

Subject: Proposal for KIB Leachate Treatment Plant Pretreatment Facility Additional Services During
Construction
Dear Jena,
The purpose of this letter is to provide scope and fee for additional services during construction (SDC) for
the Kodiak Landfill Leachate Treatment Plant (LTP) Pretreatment Facility. Existing SDC budget has been
used to redesign the building foundation and floor drains, and re-position the housekeeping pads for the
contractor’s selected process equipment. Additional construction support will include special inspections
of the foundation rebar, review of submittals, participation at work planning meetings, and other support
as requested by the Kodiak Island Borough. Staffing will include Cory Hinds, Mike Wolski, Mark Parent
and other Jacobs engineering discipline leads as needed.
We propose to complete this work on a time and materials basis using our current rates and existing
agreement for professional services Contract FY 2022-09. This proposal is for a non-to-exceed amount
of $25,000. If you have any questions about this, please contact me via email at cory.hinds@jacobs.com

RE: Managers Report, September 15, 2022
Regarding the Manager recruitment, Meagan has spoken w applicant Doom, she will come to
Kodiak on her way home from the trip she mentioned in interview #1 (directly from her stop in
LA to Kodiak), she is looking into flight schedules to determine the earliest that she can
comfortably arrive in Kodiak and will coordinate with Meagan on the details as the information
is available. We will keep you apprised of Ms. Dooms schedule.
The Assembly may want to consider what questions they would like to ask of the interviewees
for the second interview. The questions for this round of interviews do not need to be the same
for each applicant but can be specific to the applicant’s experience, qualifications, and
personality. If the Assembly wishes, Meagan can provide the questions asked in previous
Manager recruitments and/or sample questions from other organizations.
I have requested consideration for the temporary appointment of Jena Hassinger to the position
of Administrative Official. Resolution FY2023-13will be before the assembly on October 6,
2022, to comply with the KIBC 1.10.030.

2022 Kodiak Island Borough
Housing Needs Assessment
Survey conducted by the McKinley Research Group
and Kodiak Island Housing Authority.
Barriers to housing development
76% of respondents looking for housing now or in the next
five years are very interested in housing located outside the
city limits but on city water/sewer.
Key take-aways
• Top barriers to housing development identified by Kodiak residents are cost and land availability. Building codes and
restrictive zoning were also identified as barriers.
• To address housing development challenges, survey respondents most strongly supported releasing more lands or
housing development, road construction to access areas for new housing developments, and exploring public/private
partnerships for housing development.
• Key informants representing the business community reported significant unmet demand for employee housing, both for
purchase and for rent. A lack of suitable housing is resulting in challenges hiring employees and is hindering growth.

205 residents of Kodiak 18 years and older were surveyed, as well as 28 interviews of key informants
including the USCG, realtors, local business representatives, and other key stakeholders.
Kodiak Island Community Land Trust (“KICLT”)
• Designated for-profit subsidiary of the Kodiak Economic Development Corporation.
• Purpose: steward the development of land for affordable market-rate housing units for the
Kodiak community.
• The Kodiak Island Community Land Trust was designed as a variation of the standard
community land trust model. The land trust will remove the cost of land, and potentially the
development cost, to lower the market-rate for homebuyers.
• Residents in the Kodiak community most strongly support the development of housing on city
water/sewer. The Kodiak Island Community Land Trust will seek the conveyance of land from
the City of Kodiak to align with survey responses.
• Sitka Community Land Trust has demonstrated that the model can be successful in rural
Alaska.
• KEDC has consulted with Michael Brown of Burlington Associates, and Mim McConnel of Sitka
Community Land Trust to discuss successes and recommendations
• A partnership between the City of Kodiak and Kodiak Economic Development Corporation
would reflect action against the housing crisis in Kodiak.
• It is with great understanding that the Kodiak Economic Development Corporation proposes
the bold partnership of the City of Kodiak and KEDC to steward housing developments on
Kodiak.
• Without new housing opportunities, local organizations are unable to meet their current
needs for staffing.
• While there are several positive impacts to developing the land for residential use, the
negative consequences of not providing new housing options are even more compelling.
