KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
STAFF REPORT
NOVEMBER 22, 2022
ASSEMBLY WORK SESSION
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Discuss Karluk School Disposition
ORIGINATOR: Dave Conrad, Interim Borough Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Review information presented, discuss and recommend the actions forward as associated
with this rural facility.
DISCUSSION:
In 2019, the borough took over the maintenance and costs associated with the utilities and
operations of the school building at Karluk. This action was taken due to the Kodiak Island
Borough School District removing the teacher and onsite support by the district due to the
minimum student count as mandated by the State of Alaska. Due to past issues with facility
damage associated with the closing of the facility, a decision was made at the time that it was
better for the foreseeable future to keep the facility open for the continued use of the student
residents for access to the facility and have a classroom experience associated with their
education. In addition, the local residents have access to this larger facility for community
events.
The costs associated with maintaining and operating this facility have cost approximately
$332,335 for the four years from 2019 through 2022. To date, in FY2023 the cost to date is
$29,094.79.
Discussions regarding the likelihood of the school to reopen versus the annual cost to maintain
the facility has been increasing in frequency with past and present assembly members. During
the period of the pandemic, the ability to travel was restricted and/or limited; therefore, normal
annual or periodic maintenance was not performed. There are current issues with the fuel oil
boiler and HVAC system that require repair. The KIB and our heating contractor have been
attempting to travel to Karluk for the past several weeks. This has not occurred due to weather
and flight scheduling.
As decision to continue to fund and maintain this facility, permanently close and secure the
facility, or explore the interest of the residents of Karluk taking over the cost and maintenance
of the building for the use in the community are the avenues currently being considered.
The Engineering and Facilities staff have met with the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation (ADEC) regarding the diesel fuel spills at the school site from four (4) separate
fuel tanks over multiple years.
ALTERNATIVES:
Continue to fund and maintain this facility, permanently close and secure the facility, or explore the
interest of the residents of Karluk taking over the cost and maintenance of the building for the use in the
community.

2022-23 Policy and Position Statement Guidelines
The Alaska Municipal League “Policy and Position Statement” is developed in collaboration with AML
members, which includes AML board members, and the Legislative Committee, which appointed or
elected officials from member municipalities who have expertise and a firm understanding of local
government roles and responsibilities.
Policy and positions of AML should 1) be consistent with our principles; 2) be beneficial to local
governments; 3) not negatively impact local governments; 4) be multi-jurisdictional or statewide in
nature.
Scope of AML positions:
• AML Principles – these inform AML’s overall strategy and are not adjusted annually.
• AML Legislative Priorities – developed in draft form at the August Legislative Conference,
approved by board of directors after the Annual Conference.
• AML Federal Priorities – developed in draft form at the August Legislative Conference, approved
by the board of directors after the Annual Conference.
• AML Policy Statements – these are general statements of support or opposition based on
issues that affect local governments and developed in draft form at the August Legislative
Conference; approved by members at the Annual Conference.
• AML Legislative Position Statements – these will occur every two years in response to
active legislation.
For changes to the Draft 2022-23 Policy and Position Statement to be considered, the Legislative
Committee will take member input during the Summer Legislative Conference, editing for brevity and
applicability. The Legislative Committee will review all recommended changes by September 15, 2022
after which the proposed 2022-23 Policy and Position Statement will be sent to members for their
consideration.
Members may submit changes to the Draft 2022-23 Policy Statement by resolution of the governing
body, no later than October 25, 2022. Changes will not be accepted after this date.
The Legislative Committee shall debate and act upon suggested changes during the Legislative
Committee on December 7, 2022, for final recommendations to the membership. If the Legislative
Committee does not accept the change, the member’s governing body may bring it to the floor at the
Business Meeting on December 9, 2022 for reconsideration.
Changes accepted by the Legislative Committee shall be shared with members during the General
Session on December 8, 2022. The amended Policy Statement shall be voted on by the full
membership at the AML Business Meeting to be held on the morning of December 9, 2022.

2022-23 Resolution Guidelines
A resolution is a statement of the Alaska Municipal League’s intent to support a specific action on a
significant issue or legislation affecting municipalities. Resolutions are introduced, debated, and adopted
by AML members each year during the Business Meeting at the Annual Local Government Conference.
To be considered during the conference, resolutions must conform to the following policy, procedural
and format guidelines that have been adopted by the AML Board of Directors.
RESOLUTION GUIDELINES
1. Resolutions shall concern shared policy and program needs, state or federal legislation, issues, or
problems of Alaska municipalities and shall state the problem and action sought.
a. Resolutions may not conflict with any adopted AML positions.
b. Resolutions that allow conflict between one community against another will be eliminated.
c. Resolutions will be revised to make a general application instead of one seeking to benefit a
single member only or that comes at the expense of another member.
d. Resolutions with the same topic will be combined.
2. Resolutions shall be restricted to action-specific issues and issues of some immediacy and shall be
directed to the Governor, Legislature, State agency, President and/or the Congress.
3. Resolutions differ from policies in that:
a. Resolutions shall address specific issues rather than general policy.
b. Resolutions may address regional issues as well as statewide concerns.
c. Resolutions are intended to address timely issues such as current legislative proposals.
HOW TO SUBMIT
1. Only councils and assemblies of member municipalities, affiliated municipal associations, affiliated
regional municipal organizations (comprised of municipal officials), the AML Board and the Alaska
Conference of Mayors are eligible to submit resolutions for consideration. Each resolution
submitted must have been approved by a formal action of the sponsoring body and by at least one

resolution presented directly to the Resolution Committee must have the support of representatives
of five (5) member municipalities.

a. Members may request by resolution pulling items from the
consent agenda for floor debate and reconsideration. The format for this follows that above,

support of five other members. Consent agenda items may not be considered otherwise during
the Business Meeting.
8. The Resolutions Committee shall, based on the above guidelines, review and act upon each
resolution for final recommendation to the membership. The Resolutions Committee shall approve,
amend, or reject each resolution submitted, note its action, and, if the resolution is approved, send
it to the Business Meeting for consideration. If a resolution is rejected, the Committee shall prepare
a brief written justification of its action and forward that information to the Business Meeting.
9. Resolutions will be reviewed, debated and acted upon by the AML Membership at the Annual
Business Meeting. Sponsors of properly submitted resolutions will be given an opportunity to
discuss and support their resolutions at the meeting.
10. A resolution rejected by the Resolution Committee may be brought to the floor of the Business
Meeting on December 9 only if it is signed by representatives from twenty (20) member
municipalities. No new resolutions may be submitted to the Business Meeting without first going to
the Resolution Committee.
11. Members will vote on resolutions at the Annual Business Meeting on Friday, December 9.
RESOLUTIONS FORMAT
The resolution must be in the proper format. The name of the sponsoring member municipality or
association and the date of submission must be indicated on the bottom of the resolution. Each
resolution submitted must indicate that it is a “Resolution of the Alaska Municipal League, Resolution
#2022-xx and have a title, beginning, “A Resolution …” that describes the issue and intent of the
resolution. Throughout the text, the resolution should indicate that AML is taking the position
advocated, not a given municipality or organization. At least one “Whereas” clause should identify the

applicable.

Dear Mr. Conrad:
The community of Karluk will be irreparably harmed by the loss of our school The school is our
library, community center, gym, theater, indoor playground, sports venue, emergency shelter,
hotel, pandemic headquarters, and our only place to gather.
The school is such an essential part of the community that it is hard to put the importance of the
school into words. Like every rural community in Alaska, we see depression and hopelessness
in our young people and we watch them struggle with substance abuse to cope with that
hopelessness and depression. We need to be creating more for people to live happy and
complete lives, not taking away the only community gathering place.
The loss of the school will remove all the hope left here Without the school we have absolutely
no resources. How can we encourage people to remain here or return here? It likely will be the
end of our community.
While it is true that COVID taught the world that distance education was possible, we also
began to understand the danger of isolation, of being alone, and of being unprepared. Without
the essential community space provided by the school Karluk will struggle to survive. The
school is the heart of our community
Like other remote Alaskan villages. our community has limited resources. We have family, our
rich culture, subsistence activities, and unique traditions but we have little in comparison to
almost any other community in the developed world. All we have is wrapped up in our school.
The loss of our school would have a profound and long-lasting impact on our community. Most
of us see it as a death sentence While it may seem reasonable to many that we relocate to
urban Alaska, such forced relocation always causes death. None of us will willingly leave
Karluk. It has been our home for over 12,000 years. The residents of our community are not well
equipped to live in urban Alaska after a lifetime on Kodiak Island; it is difficult to rent a home
with no rental history or credit, hard to get a job with no experience, hard to eat non-native
foods. All of this will impact elders the most. There will be a cultural disconnect with kids
growing up elsewhere not knowing their culture, land, language, and traditions. And that will be
the end of our tribe. You can see how this happened in other communities in rural Alaska in the
past such as Ohogamiut, Bill Moore's Slough, Hamilton, Georgetown, and more.
The community understands that there are costs involved and we will work to find funds to
maintain the school. We have several ideas we are actively working on; for example, the tribe
receives funding from DOJ to provide services to victims of crime and we will be able to rent
part of the school building for the services. These plans cannot yet happen due to the state of
the school so we feel powerless.
Please work with our community to help us keep our school,
Thank You for your time in the above Matter.
Sincerely:
Karluk Community:
