KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
STAFF REPORT
JANUARY 26, 2023
ASSEMBLY WORK SESSION
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Discussion Relating To Expenditure Of Labor Hours Associated With Grants
That Require Funding Matches
ORIGINATOR: Dave Conrad, Interim Borough Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Creation of a fund within the budget that designate funds that can be requested specific to
grant matches prior to application.
DISCUSSION:
During recent years opportunities for both Federal and State grants have been abundant.
Depending on the granting agency and grant requirements, a large amount of labor can be
required to provide the information required in the grant application. If the grant program defines
a percentage match, should staff request direction prior to the investment of time and effort or
should staff proceed, apply and then request match funding if notified of a successful award?
ALTERNATIVES:
Request preapproval of grant opportunities that require matching funds prior to proceeding
with the staff time investment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
OTHER INFORMATION:
Currently, there is an opportunity through the State of Alaska Department of Fish and Game for
the Hunter Access Program Grant. Typically staff would invest labor hours or request funds for
an engineered design including hydrology and consideration regarding an anadromous stream
category. Upon receipt of the drawings, design, and bid documents this information would be
included in the grant application. When the estimated cost of the project was available then the
staff would have a dependable estimate of funding to request via the grant application. This
grant opportunity requires a 25% non-federal match and staff is unsure of whether to spend the
time and effort on applying because it is not clear whether the required local matching funds
can be committed.
As an example of why this is a concern, this past August, staff prepared to apply for a grant to
replace culverts along Salonie Creek through a grant program administrated by NOAA. Staff
spent several hours working on completing the application, however, because it was not known
if match funding was available the grant application was not submitted.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
RESOLUTION NO. FY2023-21
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH IDENTIFYING
FEDERAL PROJECT AND PROGRAM PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2024
WHEREAS, the Alaska Congressional Delegation has requested the views of the Kodiak Island
Borough on which Federal projects and programs should be considered priorities, in no particular
order, for rural Alaskan communities and their residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH that the Kodiak Island Borough's views and recommendations on priority Federal
programs and projects for FY 2024 are as follows:
1. FY 2024 Community Project/Congressionally Directed Spending Requests: The
Borough submits the following FY 2024 community project/Congressionally directed
spending requests, consistent with guidance issued by the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees.
Kodiak Island Hospital Addition $54,390,000
The oldest wing of the Kodiak Island Borough owned hospital facility has been assessed
and found to be structurally deficient to withstand the impacts of a significant local
earthquake. Due to the age of this portion of the facility, a variety of building support
systems are failing and require replacement as well. The cost benefit analysis does not
result in favor of retrofitting this section of the building.
This project proposes to demolish the 3,200 square foot old hospital wing and construct
in its place a three-story addition that meets current seismic standards and allows the local
hospital facility to meet the needs and regulatory requirements of current and future
medical care for the island community of 13,000 people.
2. Broadband Service to Rural Areas: Establishing or improving broadband service to the
Borough's rural island communities has been a high Federal priority for us for many years.
Deployment of high-speed broadband to rural areas such as Kodiak is now in the
implementation phase from a base of funding provided through the American Rescue Plan
Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and regular annual Federal appropriations. The
primary sources of funding have been or will be through NTIA's Tribal Broadband
Program; USDA's Telecommunications Infrastructure Loan Program & Community
Connect Grant Program; and the new State Broadband Grants Program created by the
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. One of the Borough's communities — Port Lions — was
recently a beneficiary of these funds, receiving $29 million for its Broadband Infrastructure
Deployment project to install fiber optic cable connecting almost 1,000 households and
businesses. We continue to monitor GCI's fiber optic cable project — which includes the
Port Lions effort and connectivity to other Island communities -- to bring high speed

internet service to Kodiak and through much of the Aleutian Island chain. "Middle" and
"last" mile investments also remain important to our villages so they can access higher
speed broadband. Should the Borough in cooperation with a local internet service provider
pursue funding at a later date with USDA's or NTIA's programs, we would request
Delegation support for our application.
3. Groundfish Surveys: Our Federal resolution last year called for maintenance of effort of
Federal groundfish trawl surveys in Alaska. This would be six surveys, one of which is
dedicated to movement of fish out of historical survey areas. The FY 2023 Omnibus
Appropriations Bill funds and directs that number of surveys. Groundfish are critical to
Kodiak fisheries, accounting for 60 percent of all our landings. Inadequate data creates
the possibility of reduced quotas as fisheries managers seek to control fishing effort on a
precautionary basis. We appreciate the Alaska Congressional Delegation's support to
maintain this coverage in recent years and for favorably considering the Borough's prior
year requests. We respectfully request that six Alaska groundfish trawl surveys be
continued and funded for FY 2024.
4. Fisheries Disaster Relief: Congress has just enacted fisheries disaster relief reform
legislation -- the Fishery Resource Disasters Improvement Act -- that would bring greater
transparency and deadlines to the steps in the disaster relief determination, funding, State
expenditure plan development and relief distribution process. The bill also includes
provisions that qualify local government loss of raw fish tax revenues as eligible for
reimbursement from future Federal fisheries disaster relief funding. This provision is not
mandatory and would require the State of Alaska to include foregone fish taxes as part of
its fisheries disaster relief expenditure plans submitted to NOAA. Separately, the FY 2023
Omnibus Appropriations Bill includes $300 million for fisheries disaster relief. The Borough
thanks the Delegation for its support of fisheries disaster relief reform and funding. We
further urge that the Delegation advocate with NOAA that of the $300 million in
appropriations the full amount be allocated for Alaska crab disasters consistent with the
Governor's disaster relief requests.
5. North Pacific Observer Program: Observers are an important part of managing the
halibut and groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska. Gulf of Alaska fishery participants
pay into the North Pacific Observer Fund to cover the costs of "partial coverage" for Gulf
fishing sectors but there has been a shortfall in funding to cover observer costs in recent
years. The Congress did not include the increase in funding for the program that the
Brough requested last year but did include instructions to mitigate the cost impacts on the
small vessel fixed gear fleet while the fishery undergoes the transition to electronic
monitoring and reporting. We request that an additional $2 million in funding be provided
in FY 2024 above base funding along with carryover of language concerning the cost -
burdens on the fleet.
Resolution No. FY2023-21 Page 2 of 4
85 6. U.S. Coast Guard Base -- Kodiak: The FY 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill includes
86 $105 million for USCG Base Kodiak for the pier project to be ready for the Offshore Patrol
87 and Fast Response Cutters. These funds are in addition to the $130 million for fuel pier
88 recapitalization and $40 million for Phase IV housing at the base from the Bipartisan
89 Infrastructure Law. This is very good news for the Base and Kodiak as we ready for the
90 eventual of homeporting of two each of the new Fast Response and Offshore Patrol
91 Cutters. In addition to these vessels, the Borough is very interested in Kodiak being a
92 homeport for a new icebreaker(s). We recognize the destinations for the existing
93 commercially available ice breaker, assuming its purchase is funded in FY 2024, and the
94 three new heavy icebreakers yet to be built are likely to be Juneau and Seattle,
95 respectively, but we believe Kodiak would be a logical destination for one or more of the
96 new medium class icebreakers. The medium class icebreakers are part of the Coast
97 Guard's plans but have yet to be designed and funded. We very much appreciate the
98 Delegation's support for the Base as a homeport for the new vessel classes and urge
99 continued advocacy as future Coast Guard decisions are made, including future
100 icebreaker homeporting.
101
102 7. Payment -In -Lieu -of -Taxes (PILT): PILT is a very important revenue source to the
103 Borough, given that there are over 2.8 million acres removed by the Federal Government
104 from local taxation within our boundaries. This is land that would otherwise be available
105 to the private sector to develop, creating jobs for the residents of Kodiak and our rural
106 Kodiak Island communities. PILT funds supplement Borough resources to provide basic
107 social services, including medical facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads,
108 and schools to our island communities. The FY 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill provided
109 full funding for PILT. We thank the Delegation for its long-standing support for PILT and
110 urge continued support for full funding in the FY 2024 appropriations process.
111
112 8. National Wildlife Refuge Fund ("Refuge Revenue Sharing"): While not as significant
113 as PILT, the National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source of replacement revenue to
114 communities like ours that have the presence of a large Federal wildlife refuge within their
115 boundaries. Both the Trump and Obama Administrations sought to zero out its funding.
116 The Biden Administration in its FY 2023 budget request also sought to terminate
117 appropriations for the program. Fortunately, Congress rejected the request and included
118 level funding for the program in FY 2023. The Kodiak Island Borough opposes the
119 termination of appropriations for this important program. The Borough thanks the
120 Delegation for its on-going support and seeks continued level funding in FY 2024.
121
122 9. Essential Air Service (EAS): The Borough's communities are highly reliant on the EAS
123 program, its support to air carriers and its requirements for island community service.
124 FAA programs including EAS are due to be reauthorized in this Congress. The debate on
125 FAA reauthorization is typically when Congressional critics of EAS emerge citing the
126 program as a "wasteful corporate subsidy" to the profitable major airlines and seek to
127 either eliminate the program or enact detrimental changes. They overlook the program's

support for air routes that are served by smaller carriers or the fact without the EAS
subsidy, the major airlines would either terminate service, reduce it, or raise fares. We
urge the Delegation to oppose efforts to cut EAS funding or "reform" the program in ways
that would harm air serve on our island.
10. U.S. Military Arctic Presence: The Borough appreciates the Delegation's sustained effort
at urging and directing the Department of Defense to further examine the Arctic's strategic
interest to the U.S. This past year the Biden Administration released its strategic blueprint
and plans (the National Strategy for the Arctic Region) for the Arctic. It has a number of
worthy goals and objectives but like predecessor plans from prior administrations lacks
details on specific activities and U.S. investments in the Arctic. Meanwhile, Russia and
China continue to aggressively push their security interests in the region as evidenced last
year by the joint convoy of their military vessels that entered the U.S. EEZ in the Bering
Sea. As has been included in our past Resolutions, selection of Kodiak as a potential
military base or staging area as the U.S. expands its security presence in the Arctic is a
long-term goal for the Borough. We understand this is a multi-year effort, but the Borough
urges that Kodiak stay under consideration with the Delegation and Department of
Defense for future Arctic security investment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH that:
the Kodiak Island Borough administration is hereby instructed to advise Congress and the
appropriate agencies of the United States Federal Government of the Capital Improvement
Program and other Federal program priorities adopted by the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly.
