AGENDA ITEM #6.A.
8. AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS
1. Presentation Of The Certified Municipal Clerk Designation To Borough Deputy
Clerk Lina Cruz
Mayor Williams presented the Certified Municipal Clerk Certificate and Pin to
Borough Deputy Clerk Lina Cruz.
The Certified Municipal Clerk program is designed to enhance the job
performance of the Clerk in small and large municipalities. To earn the CMC
designation, a Municipal Clerk must attend extensive education program and
courses through a variety of methods, including IIMC-approved University and
College based Institutes, State/Provincial/National associations, international
study and exchange programs, on-line courses, publications, and annual
conferences.
Deputy Clerk Cruz began working toward her certification in April 2019 when she
was hired as an Assistant Clerk. She has earned this prestigious designation
through her aggressive participation in educational programs and involvement
in a variety of professional development activities. This certification prepares
Deputy Clerk Cruz to meet the challenges of the complex role of the municipal
clerk. The CMC is more than a pin, a certificate, and three letters at the end of
her name. It is a declaration that Ms. Cruz is proficient in her position, and she
demonstrates mastery of administrative skills critical to good government.
The Borough congratulates Deputy Clerk Cruz for fulfilling the requirements of
the Certified Municipal Clerk program.
9. COMMITTEE REPORTS
10. PUBLIC HEARING
Ordinance No. FY2023-13 Amending Kodiak Island Borough Title 17 Zoning,
Chapter 180 Signs, Section 17.180.010 Signs, Description And Intent To
Require Zoning Compliance Permits For Certain Signs
ARNDT moved to adopt Ordinance No. FY2023-13.
KIBC Code 17-180-010 calls for signs (whether it is for placement, addition of a
new or moving an old) to be exempted from requiring a Zoning Compliance
application being filled out and submitted to Community Development.
KI BC 17.180.010- Description and intent.
The intent of this chapter is to regulate signs so that they will not, by reason of
their size, location, construction, or manner of display, endanger the public
health, safety, or general welfare. It is further intended that this chapter will
regulate signs in such a way as to support and complement the purposes and
intent of this title as well as the economic growth of the community.
A. Zoning compliance is not required for the installation of signs
B. Excluded from regulation are: flags, window displays, traffic and road signs.

AGENDA ITEM #6.A.
However, as shown in the agenda packet, KIBC17.180.020 and 17.180.030,
contain requirements that signs must adhere to.
KIBC 17.15.060 Zoning Compliance states that the building official may not
issue a building permit until CDD has verified a zoning compliance application.
CDD provides Building and Safety a copy of all Zoning Compliance applications
weather they have been approved or denied.
Community Development proposes that KIBC 17.180.010 be updated, adding
the verbiage "unless a building permit or variance is required for the sign." This
will insure that KIBC 17.15.060 and KIBC 17.180.010 work together and avoid
confusion between the Community Development and Building & Safety
departments. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard and approved this
ordinance to come forward to the Borough Assembly at its special meeting of
February 22, 2023.
Mayor Williams closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Hearing and seeing none, Mayor Williams closed the public hearing and
reconvened the regular meeting.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Arndt,
Delgado, Griffin, Ledoux, Smith, and Turner.
2. Ordinance No. FY2023-15 Amending Title 7 Elections, Chapter 7.40 Canvassing
And Certification Of Election Returns, Section 7.40.010 Canvass Of Returns
ARNDT moved to adopt Ordinance No. FY2023-15.
KIBC Section 7.40.010 details the procedure for canvassing of election returns,
and in KIBC 7.40.010(C), it currently states that marked ballots that are not in a
small gray envelope shall not be counted. After review of relevant State Statute,
it appears that it does not identify failure to use the small gray envelope as a
basis for challenging or rejecting a ballot.
The Clerk sent out an inquiry to other municipalities and the response was
unanimous that they do not reject returned ballots that are not in gray envelopes.
I think the concern about failure to use the envelope is that it allows the canvas
board to know how a particular voter voted. Based on the Clerk's experience,
the canvassing board has a track record of always protecting the privacy of
voters and there are ways in the canvassing procedure that we can incorporate
to protect the privacy of the ballots.
Mayor Williams closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Hearing and seeing none, Mayor Williams closed the public hearing and
reconvened the regular meeting.

Board

AGENDA ITEM #6.A.
ARNDT moved to advance Ordinance No. FY2023-16 to public hearing at the
next regular meeting of the Assembly of April 20, 2023.
On February 15, 2023, the Clerk's office received an email from Craig Johnson,
Mission Lake Tide Gate (MLTG) Service Area Board chairperson requesting an
increase to the board size from three to five members. Mr. Johnson mentioned
that the board currently has two prospective board members willing to serve.
The formation of the MLTG Service area board went before the voters in 2002
as a special by -mail election proposition and a three-member board was
created. Alaska Statutes 29.35.460 authorizes the Assembly to provide for an
appointed or elected board to supervise the furnishing of special services in a
service area. KIBC 4.15.020 also authorizes the Assembly to determine the
number of memberships for different boards by ordinance. In order to increase
the board by two members, the Assembly must first adopt an ordinance
amending existing code to allow for the change.
The Clerk's office, with the assistance of Borough Attorney Scott Brandt -
Erichsen, drafted Ordinance No. FY2023-16 to allow for the increase from three
to five board members. It is recommended that the initial terms of the two
additional seats be staggered to make the appointments compliant with KIBC
4.15.030.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Griffin,
Ledoux, Smith, Turner, Arndt, and Delgado.
2. Ordinance No. FY2023-17 Amending The Kodiak Island Borough Personnel
Rules And Regulations, 2022 Edition, To Reflect Changes In The Moving
Expenses For New Employee Section
ARNDT moved to advance Ordinance No. FY2023-17 to public hearing at the
next regular meeting of the Assembly.
In recognition that it is getting increasingly difficult to hire staff locally and the
Borough is regularly advertising for and interviewing applicants in locations
outside of Kodiak, staff is requesting to change two items within the Personnel
Manual under section 1105 New Employee Moving Expenses. There are several
long vacant positions within the Borough and staff believes these changes will
shorten the hiring process enabling us to hire qualified staff without losing them
to other entities.
The first change would be to make the standard offer of one month's salary for
moving expenses approvable by the Manger and not the Assembly (any
requested expense greater than one month's salary would remain by Assembly
approval only). The second change would be to make advance payment of
moving expenses approvable by the Assembly and not the Manager.
The need for a signed transportation agreement would not change, nor would
the payback of reimbursed transportation expenses should the employee less
than 24 months.

AGENDA ITEM #6.A.
The recent difficulty in hiring for a PC Tech I position (an entry level position that
has been unfilled since the passing of John Rhines in March of 2021), highlights
the hiring problem is occurring within all staffing levels, not just director and
manager positions. There are times, such as this March, when staff would have
to wait three weeks or more (depending on when we could get it onto the
agenda) to get assembly approval to offer the standard moving allowance of one
month's salary. Most applicants would not wait that long for entities to extend an
offer after an interview and would take another job.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Ledoux,
Smith, Turner, Arndt, Delgado, and Griffin.
14.D. OTHER ITEMS
1. Acceptance Of Ms. Aimee Williams Resignation As Mayor Of The Kodiak Island
Borough
ARNDT moved to accept the resignation of Ms. Aimee Williams as Mayor of the
Kodiak Island Borough and declare the office of the mayor vacant effective April
30, 2023.
Per KIBC 2.20.090, this will require a 2/3 concurring vote of the Assembly.
On February 27, 2023, the Assembly unanimously appointed Ms. Aimee
Williams as Borough Manager. Ms. Williams' contract was approved on March
16, 2023.
Per KIBC 7.20.020 (C) No elected official of the borough, except members of
service area boards, may hold any other compensated borough office or
borough employment, or elected position in the state or federal government,
while in office.
Since Ms. Williams cannot serve simultaneously as Mayor and Manager, she
has resigned as Mayor effective April 30, 2023. She will assume her position as
Borough Manager on May 1, 2023. This resignation will create a vacancy in the
Office of the Mayor and since the vacancy is occurring within six months of a
regular election, the vacant seat will be filled by the Assembly. The person
selected shall serve until October 2023 and a two-year mayoral term will be
placed on the October 3, 2023, ballot.

On February 27, 2023, the Assembly unanimously appointed Ms. Aimee
Williams as Borough Manager. As she cannot serve simultaneously as Mayor
and Manager, Ms. Williams resigned as Mayor effective April 30, 2023, and she
will assume her position as Borough Manager on May 1, 2023. This resignation
will create a vacancy in the Office of the Mayor and since the vacancy is
occurring within six months of a regular election, the vacant seat will be filled by
the Assembly instead of holding a special election. The person selected shall
serve until October 2023 and a two-year mayoral term will be placed on the
October 3, 2023, ballot.
The Borough code is a lot more detailed when it comes to filling an Assembly
seat; however, for filling the mayoral seat, it only contemplates a majority vote
of the Assembly. The fact that KIBC 2.30.040(A) talks about "from among its
members" could be used to argue that it must be an assembly member, but the
reference to "applicants" in KIBC 2.20.100 makes it sound more open. If the
Assembly wants to simply vote to choose from among its members, then the
Assembly can do so by majority vote. If the Assembly appoints one of its
members, then no process is required beyond a motion and vote.
AS 29.20.280 does not provide any greater clarity. If the Assembly contemplates
going outside of the existing Assembly for an appointment, the Borough attorney
recommends that you hold an open call for applicants rather than simply
appointing someone by motion without soliciting expressions of interest by an
application process.
GRIFFIN moved to direct the Borough Clerk to start the application process for
the Mayoral vacancy seat.

'r ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY2023-16 An Ordinance Of The Assembly Of The Kodiak
Island Borough Amending Title 4 Service Areas, Chapter 4.130 Mission Lake
Tidegate Service Area, Section 4.130.020 Board To Increase The Membership
Of The Board
ORIGINATOR: Lina Cruz, Deputy Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Ordinance No. FY2023-16.
DISCUSSION:
On February 15, 2023, the Clerk's office received an email from Craig Johnson, Mission Lake Tide Gate
(MLTG) Service Area Board chairperson, requesting an increase to the board size from three to five
members. Mr. Johnson mentioned that the board currently has two prospective board members willing
to serve.
The formation of the MLTG Service area board went before the voters in 2002 as a special by -mail
election proposition and a three-member board was created. Alaska Statutes 29.35.460 authorizes the
Assembly to provide for an appointed or elected board to supervise the furnishing of special services in
a service area. KIBC 4.15.020 also authorizes the Assembly to determine the number of memberships
for different boards by ordinance. In order to increase the board by two members, the Assembly must
first adopt an ordinance amending existing code to allow for the change.
The Clerk's office, with the assistance of Borough Attorney Scott Brandt -Erichsen, drafted Ordinance No.
FY2023-16 to allow for the increase from three to five board members. We recommend that the initial
terms of the two additional seats be staggered to make the appointments compliant with KIBC 4.15.030.
Attached is a copy of the current roster as well as the proposed one for reference.
ALTERNATIVES:
FISCAL IMPACT:
none.
OTHER INFORMATION:
4.15.020 Composition, appointment, election, qualifications.
A board shall consist of three members, or more, as the assembly may determine by ordinance. The
initial members of the board shall be appointed by the assembly to serve until the expiration of their terms
as set forth in KIBC 4.15.030.
4.130.010 Creation and powers.
The Mission Lake tidegate service area is established pursuant to Ordinance No. 02-02 and
encompasses the area as indicated on the map attached to that ordinance. Construction, operation, and
maintenance of the Mission Lake tidegate shall be provided in the Mission Lake tidegate service area.
4.130.020 Board.
The Mission Lake tidegate service area board shall consist of three members appointed by the assembly.

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY2023-17 Amending The Kodiak Island Borough Personnel
Rules And Regulations, 2022 Edition, To Reflect Changes In The Moving
Expenses For New Employee Section
ORIGINATOR: Dora Cross, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Ordinance No. FY2023-17.
DISCUSSION:
In recognition that it is getting increasingly difficult to hire staff locally and we are regularly
advertising for and interviewing applicants in locations outside of Kodiak, staff is requesting to
change two items within the Personnel Manual under section 1105 New Employee Moving
Expenses. There are several long vacant positions within the Borough and staff believes these changes
will shorten the hiring process enabling us to hire qualified staff without loosing them to other entities.
The first change would be to make the standard offer of one months salary for moving expenses
approvable by the Manger and not the Assembly (any requested expense greater than one
months salary would still remain by Assembly approval only). The second change would be to
make advance payment of moving expenses approvable by the Assembly and not the Manager.
The need for a signed transportation agreement would not change, nor would the payback of
reimbursed transportation expenses should the employee less than 24 months.
The recent difficulty in hiring for a PC Tech I position (an entry level position that has been unfilled since
the passing of John in March of 2021), highlights the hiring problem is occurring within all staffing levels,
not just director and manager positions. There are times, such as this March, when staff would
have to wait three weeks or more (depending on when we could get it onto the agenda) to get
assembly approval to offer the standard moving allowance of one months salary. Most applicants
would not wait that long for entities to extend an offer after an interview and would take another job.
ALTERNATIVES:
Deny the request
FISCAL IMPACT:
OTHER INFORMATION:
Transportation Agreement (attached) allows for repayment of moving expenses should the employee not
remain at the Borough for more than 24 months. The schedule is as follows:
100% Repayment - Employment for less than 12 months
75% Repayment - Employment 12 months but less than 18 months
50% Repayment - Employment 18 months but less than 24 months

for advancing moving expenses and recommends instead that Assembly approval is necessary

From: Corey Wall
Re: Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center/ Kodiak Community Health Clinic (1YW No. 18014)
Space Programming and Concept Fee Proposals
Thank you for contacting us about the next steps in developing renewal / replacement / expansion options for
the Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center (PKIMC) and Kodiak Community Health Clinic (KCHC).
Previously, our facility assessment work for PKIMC focused mostly on the physical condition of the building and
its systems. Moving forward into conceptual plan development, it will be essential to understand the sizes and
functions of the existing spaces within the buildings and how they are likely to change over the lifespan of the
proposed new developments. This analysis will help the design team "right -size" the new conceptual options
as well as provide valuable information for the PKIMC and KCHC management for future planning.
To provide this space programming and conceptual work, we have teamed with regional healthcare experts
DLR Group/Salus. DLR's attachments to this proposal outline the work in detail. Generally, the scope of this
proposal is:
• Establish an in-depth understanding of the Current State of PKIMC / KCMC.
o Development of an accurate current space program from detailed Building Information
Modeling of the existing building.
o Interviews to understand the staff, administration, and community perspectives.
o Development of a Current Operations Assessment based on national standards and trends
• Develop Future State projections for the facilities, including detailed volume projections for the various
components.
• Create several Conceptual Options for renewal / replacement / expansion of the facility. These options
will include cost estimates as well as 3D block diagrams
• Finalize a Conceptual Design / Master Plan, including graphics and a cost estimate.
The fee proposal includes one robust site visit from the DLR group for an on-site investigation and 3P Workshop
which will take about a week. JYW has included an additional trip for follow-up and in-person presentations.
The attached fee proposal is a Time and Expense Estimate Cap. We are confident we can provide the services
outlined within the cap, but will work with you if the scope and fees should be adjusted as the project
progresses.
Final deliverable will be a Master Plan with graphics and cost information as detailed in the attachments.

AGENDA ITEM #14.6.2.
L D L RG ROU P I SALUS Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center
EXHIBIT A: SCOPE OF WORK
Our proposal focuses on hospital and ambulatory facility needs within Providence Kodiak Island
Medical Center (PKIMC) and Kodiak Community Health Center (KCHC) with a diligent eye on the
improvement of current and future operations, code verification of current facilities; leverage of
technology innovations, and telemedicine opportunities; lean operational opportunities to reduce
healthcare delivery costs and enhance outcomes; improved patient experience; improved physician
and staff satisfaction and retention; and meeting evolving community needs. Our proposed approach
outlines a process that infuses the expertise of lean specialists into health care facility planning,
programming, and design.
Our proposal addresses the following key questions:
• What is the right balance in inpatient and outpatient services and what is the best care
delivery model for PKIMC and KCHC
• What is the "hospital of the future" for the Kodiak Island community?
• How does the existing hospital, together with its ambulatory care partners, support the future
operating plan? If not, what else needs to be built and remodeled to address its full needs?
To answer these questions, we propose a FOUR -part process described below.
• Current State: Information gathering
• Future State: LEAN 3P concept plan - See Exhibit B
• Future Needs: Refining the plan
• Master Development Plan: Report assembly
CURRENT STATE
1. Current Perspectives
We will interview a select group of the administrative team and key representatives of the Board
(Steering Committee) to develop a high-level understanding of community needs and community
perception. Our goal is to gain a high level of understanding surrounding the history, diversity and
expectations of the communities served by PKIMC and KCHC.
Critical Success Factors: We will collaborate with the select group to establish a set of Critical
Success Factors which will serve as criteria to evaluate and compare design alternatives.
Criteria will address strategic initiatives such as growth potential, health system transformation
processes, and the triple aim of improved population health, enhanced customer experience,
and systemic lower costs. For example, critical success factors may address:
• Operating Costs
• Capital Costs
• Medical and Surgical Specialties
• Revenues and Payer Mix
• Growth
• Quality
• Service
• Value
• Innovation
• Responsiveness/Timeliness
• Provider network interrelationships

• Asset Utilization
• Risk
• Others to be determined.
2. Kodiak Hospital and its Clinic Condition Analysis
Our team will focus on staffing, utilization, patient flow, process flow and service configuration.
Our main purpose is to identify strengths and weaknesses that need to be addressed in the
future operating plan and facility plan.
We will interview key hospital department personnel to identify functional and operational
constraints the building imposes on the delivery of care. We will review possible remedial actions
that will eliminate or significantly improve operating functionality.
As part of the overall analysis and master plan, we will consider the potential of onsite
expansion, offsite expansions or a total replacement on a green field site which does not have
the restriction imposed by the existing site.
The initial information gathering will include:
• Zoning, Building, and Health Facilities Code (FGI) compliance
• Review of the Facility Assessment identifying well-functioning portions and those
requiring upgrade or replacement
• Review of the existing site including potential building expansion options
• Study of on-site expansion possibilities if additional contiguous land can be acquired and
contrast against Greenfield Site Options
• Site access, parking, and visual appeal/presence
• Identification of overall short term and long-term limitations due to architectural and
structural impediments or other site/building related factors
Current Operations Assessment: We propose to infuse traditional space planning activities with
lean perspectives and analyses. We will examine current interdepartmental workflows, analyze
how well current technologies support core competencies across hospital operations.
Specifically, we will:
• Identify opportunities and limitations to improve the patient care satisfaction/experience
• Perform a functional and operational analyses of existing facilities to determine what is
working and what is not
• Explore realistic pathways to correct operational issues through better facility design
and/or new models of care
• Identify issues impacting the flows of patients, staff, data, supplies, etc.
• Identify functional constraints on current and future healthcare delivery models imposed
by the existing design
• Identify operational cost impacts which negatively impact the bottom line

FUTURE STATE
1. Health Care Market Assessment and Business Strategy
The health system is rapidly changing which will seriously impact decisions around future facility
needs. It is critical that we reach a common understanding of what is likely to be the future
business strategy of Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center and KCHC. This phase of the work
will take into account items such as:
• Health Care Transformation Trends and Analysis
• Technology Trends
• Provider Recruitment
• Alternative Models of Care
• Use of Lean Practices in Healthcare
• Growth Potential
Operating Assumptions: As we move into functional and space programming, it will be necessary
for the Steering Committee to guide us upon specific drivers and assumptions around the future
operating model for PKIMC and KCHC in the region. On the ambulatory side, this includes
access issues such as service and program location, schedulable hours, and throughput. It
should include emerging operational imperatives such as new health care delivery models for
patient centered primary care home, care coordination and chronic conditions management, and
emphasis on transitions of care to reduce readmissions and preventable emergency room visits.
We will study customer service expectations related to tangible needs such as parking, access,
as well as intangibles such as patient emotional outcomes including the value of time spent with
providers, engagement in patient education, integration with behavioral health, and the ease of
health system navigation.
2. Projections
We will refer to the detailed volume projections for inpatient and ambulatory services provided by
the system (or added as a separate service). The projections should reflect underlying
demographics and future utilization assumptions. The projections will be detailed, including
inpatient beds by bed type, delineation of providers by specialty, system -wide staff (clinic,
administration, support), inpatient and ambulatory ancillary services (operating rooms, ED, lab,
exam rooms, radiology, etc.), parking, and support spaces. The projections will drive the space
programs for the health system. This information should include items such as:
• Population Demographics
• Historical and Projected Utilization Trends and Assumptions
• Projections
o Providers by Specialty
o Staff (Clinic, Hospital, Administration, and Coordinators)
o Beds
o Exam Rooms
o ORs
o EDs

FACILITY NEEDS
1. Space Program
The space program will assess facility configurations and program locations. The space program
will be of sufficient detail to prepare high-level capital cost estimates and to launch the
architectural design process. Detailed, room -by -room programming will occur once pre -design
decisions are complete. This Phase will include items such as:
• Alternatives by Facility Type (Hospital, Clinics, Network)
• Program Configuration and Space Needs
• Site Opportunities and Constraints
2. Capital Costs
The high-level capital cost estimates will address site acquisition, construction, and soft costs.
We will evaluate the costs as well as the space program and operating plan against the critical
success factors in order to provide structure around key growth and development decisions. The
deliverable will include selection of the recommended program and facility configuration for the
network. This Phase will include items such as:
• Construction
• Soft Costs (IT, medical equipment)
• Selection of Recommended Space/Facility Configuration
3. Prioritization, Schedule, and Sequencing
Once the recommended capital costs, space program, operating plan, and site plans are
complete, it will be possible to create a phasing plan for scheduling and sequencing the
construction projects. This will include prioritizing construction at each portion of the site. If
needed, this will also include repurposing existing facilities that no longer provide efficient value
to the network.
MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN
1. Concept Design/Master Development Plan
The Master Plan will be generate based on the 3P selected alternative, the approved Space
Program and Development direction selected by PKIMC and KCHC Steering Committee. The
Planning Team will further develop the selected concept plan, which will include a possible
alternative sites for cost/benefit analysis. This phase of the study will include items such as:
• Further Physical Definition of the proposed projects (Hospital, Clinics, Other)
• Site studies showing the overall development of the master plan including site access,
parking, building foot print, and massing studies
• Evaluation and development of building configurations and structural systems that will
maximize the potential to adapt the facility to future delivery system requirements (create

buildings that optimize efficiency in layout and are easily adaptable/expandable to meet
future demand)
• Evaluation of internal and exterior flow to optimize the patient experience and to optimize
"back of house" systems supporting the delivery of care (patient, staff, materials flow and
the development of onstage/offstage concepts in care delivery)
• Evaluation of Lean Operating Approach and building configurations which will reduce the
cost of care, improve outcomes, and improve through -put
• Development of Patient Focused Care Model and identification of patient care amenities
• Develop 3-D renderings of the building exterior, entrances and key interior spaces that
illustrate the design intent and look/feel of the building.
• Refine Capital Cost Estimates based on the master plan design and performance
specifications, including a phasing plan
• Develop a Power Point Presentation for presentation to the Community
• Develop a Master Plan digital document that details the project objectives, healthcare
delivery system programs, physical features of the projects, implementation schedule,
and that defines the project capital costs
2. Level of Study
Our work plan for each step of the study is designed to provide a level of study from a 30,000 -
foot Strategic Level down to the Macro Level of information needed to analyze alternatives and
to develop a high-level master plan.
This level of work represents what is needed to develop a comprehensive plan that can be
supported by the board and presented to the community. During the work, we may identify areas
where further study would be desirable.
Professional fees exclude reimbursable expense and services beyond those proposed herein.
Graphical representation will be of a professional caliber as needed to communicate the
development concept and alternatives. Professional Rendering, Videos and Professional Models
when/if requested for can be provided as an additional service. It is anticipated that this level of
presentation will be developed as part of the follow on design services.
DATA REQUEST AND PROPOSED SCHEDULE
Our proposed schedule assumes a start date of June 13, 2022. Please see Exhibit C for the detailed
schedule of meetings and phase completions. The schedule assumes efficient use of consultant
resources and a non -recitative process based on approvals received at scheduled project meetings
and other progress milestones.
Exhibit D outlines our initial data request. It is critical that we receive the information requested at
least one week prior to the scheduled meetings.

L DLRG ROU P I SALUS Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center
EXHIBIT B: LEAN 3P FOR MASTER PLANNING
AND FUTURE SCENARIOS
The 3P workshop is the Lean process most appropriate to handle broad issues, such as master and
strategic planning. The workshop is a concise method (1 week) of reachingjoint decisions on
complex issues with a multiplicity of factors impacting its outcome.
A 3P is used for design innovation and to ensure that the patient and family customers as well as
front line staff and providers have the opportunity to provide input on spaces that meet their needs.
Using 3P for master planning allows the participation of various department leaders to give their
feedback about critical adjacencies and flow throughout the facility and in the larger setting of the
facility, which includes the neighborhood. Further, they can support the thoughtful placement of
parking and the flow of amenities for better future use of the facility.
In addition to traditional 3P scenarios related to flow and future uses based on sound medical
planning, our team will include scenario planning to address the uncertainties in the future.
Buildings last for decades and presumptions about how the future will unfold can change based on
our current world, which is VUCA - Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. Many organizations
use scenario planning to address this uncertainty. In master planning scenarios we not only look at
trends we know but delve into options based on the most critical uncertainties and determine what
triggers alternative planning for these pivot points.
As part of our master planning, we will look at the growth of telehealth and its impact on designing
future health services. We will also look at the demographic patterns that are emerging in the
surrounding communities as well as the communities who must travel to the facility from the
surrounding region. Recently, the social determinants of health have impacted the health needs of
Alaskan populations. Increased isolation caused by COVID has increased the need for behavioral
health intervention and dramatically increased the portion of the population considered pre -diabetic.
Master Planning includes the role this facility plays in the overall Kodiak Health approach to
community health needs.
3P for Master Planning and Future Scenarios
Day 1 - Defining how the facility fits into the mission, vision, and values of Kodiak Health.
Reviewing the health services data as well as the flexibility of the facility based on options for its
future uses. Understanding the full spectrum of stakeholders, consumers, and providers who will
potentially use the facility and any unique challenges they may face, such as transportation, ice and
snow, transportation, and security. A panel of stakeholders may be used to further support an
understanding of local needs and priorities.
The team will review potential desired strategic outcomes and measures for those outcomes.
For scenario planning, we will present health trends and initial programming ideas based on
projected health needs. The team will explore the realistic options that exist as well as the barriers
that exist based on physical limitations and "monuments" - that is, features that do not make
economic sense to move or change use, such as elevators and at times intensive infrastructure
areas such as radiology, labs and kitchen facilities.
Day 2 - Future design options are explored in an ideal framework to encourage people to think
outside of current parameters. The team will be challenged to set aside standard thinking and look
at the current facilities from a variety of points of view.

EXHIBIT B: LEAN 3P FOR MASTER PLANNING AND FUTURE SCENARIOS
Page 2
To continue scenario planning we will define what the critical uncertainties maybe that will have the
greatest impact on future uses. These uncertainties will be prioritized and placed in a matrix and
stories about these future options will be defined.
We will look at options for how other facilities of similar nature have solved similar challenges. We
will look at both quantitative and qualitative data about such options when such information is
available to us.
Day 3 - Ideas from the ideal state that are determined to be feasible are integrated into a discrete
set of options determined realistic. The options will be further evaluated in terms of the numbers of
phases, timeline and costs, as well as how closely the options achieve the organization's strategic
options.
For scenario planning, the stories will be further defined and pivot points in the future that will
impact whether those uncertainties will come to pass will be defined.
Where future options are dependent on certain process improvements those improvements will be
defined and placed on a rough calendar along with responsible persons and participants in those
future events.
Day 4 - Selections will be made and presented to the stakeholders in time for that feedback to
impact the final planning.
Final planning will include a selection for future uses, the impact of phases, timelines and costs, as
well as where critical uncertainties may impact or generate necessary shifts in uses.
A master planning calendar will be generated with integrated pivot points for scenarios and the ideal
timing of process improvement workshops to inform the larger design plan.
The team will then consolidate a report and present it to a larger group of stakeholders and leaders
in the organization.

r ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Nomination Of Ouzinkie Mayor Elijah Jackson For The Kodiak Village Mayors
Association Seat On Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council
Board Of Directors
ORIGINATOR: Nova M. Javier, MMC, Borough Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to confirm the nomination of Ouzinkie Mayor Elijah Jackson to the Prince William Sound Regional
Citizens' Advisory Council Village Mayors Association Seat.
DISCUSSION:
The individual chosen to represent the Kodiak Village Mayors Association should have an understanding
of the needs, concerns, and perspectives of the various villages that make up the Mayors Association,
especially issues and concerns related to preventing an oil spill and making sure there is a strong oil spill
response system in place should prevention measures fail.
The Clerk's Office staff reached out to all the outlying Kodiak communities soliciting candidates for this
seat. Mayor Jackson expressed his interest in representing the village communities. Through him, the
village communities on Kodiak Island will have a seat at the table and a voice in decisions that impact
the safe transportation of oil. It is a unique opportunity to provide advice and recommendations to the oil
industry and the regulatory agencies that oversee compliance with state and federal laws related to oil
spill prevention and response.

CONFIDENTIALITY WAIVED BY THE ASSEMBLY
ON APRIL 20, 2023
To: Mayor and Assembly
Cc: Nova Javier, Borough Clerk
Dave Conrad, Acting Manager
From: Scott Brandt -Erichsen, Borough Attorneyle__'j�
Date: April 19, 2023
Re: Manager Appointment Process Questions
Question:
I was asked by the Clerk to prepare a memorandum suitable for public dissemination
summarizing the advice I previously provided regarding the manager appointment process and
the interaction between the Alaska Open Meetings Act (OMA) and the process for negotiating a
contract with the manager candidate. The specific questions included:
1. Whether the Borough Assembly (Assembly) can simply appoint the mayor or a current or
former Assemblymember as manager by motion;
2. Whether the Kodiak Island Borough Code (KIBC) was violated or the process flawed
because Ms. Williams did not vacate her seat as presiding officer during the discussion and vote
on the motion to appoint her. as manager;
3. Whether a person appointed as the manager must fill out a written application and provide
a resume setting out their executive and administrative qualifications; and,
4. Whether the employment contract negotiations between Assembly representatives and
the appointee are subject to the OMA, and whether they are required to be conducted in public?
Brief Answer:
If a court were to address the questions I believe a court would rule that:
1. The Assembly has discretion to choose the method for selection of a manager, and that
discretion includes the ability to appoint a current or former Assemblymember as manager,
provided that the required number of votes approve the appointment.
2. The fact that Ms. Williams was present and did not pass the gavel to the Deputy Presiding
Officer (DPO) when the Assembly moved to appoint Ms. Williams as Manager did not invalidate
the Assembly decision or violate the KIBC.

3. The Assembly is the judge of the suitability of the qualifications of potential manager
candidates, and where the Assembly is familiar with the candidate's qualifications it is not required
to have a candidate provide a written application, resume or other statement of qualifications. The
Borough Code does not set out such a requirement either.
4. The negotiations of employment terms with a manager candidate need not be conducted
in public. The consideration and approval of the contract by the Assembly must be by vote in
open session at a properly convened Assembly meeting. However, if negotiations are conducted
by a quorum of the Assembly, the Assembly would need to convene a meeting and recess into
executive session for negotiations. Here, where only one Assembly member discussed contract
terms with the candidate, there is no OMA violation.
Discussion:
Over the past several months there have been a number of questions about the manager
appointment process. I have consistently advised that under the state statutes and KIBC the
Assembly has a lot of discretion to decide how to choose a manager. KIBC 2.45.020 provides:
KIBC 2.45.020 Appointment.
"The assembly has, and shall hereafter have, whenever pertinent, the power to appoint a
manager by a majority vote of its membership. The assembly shall choose a manager
solely on the basis of his executive and administrative qualifications, and he shall receive
the compensation set by the assembly. An assemblymember may not be appointed
manager of the borough sooner than one year after leaving office, except that, by a vote
of three-fourths of its authorized membership, the assembly may at any time appoint one
of its members as manager."
1. Was it permissible for the Assembly to appoint the Mayor as Manager by a
supermajority vote?
The hiring process for classified employees is guided by the personnel rules, but the hiring
of the manager or clerk is left to the discretion of the Assembly, and the Assembly may choose
the process they wish to follow. Moreover, to the extent there is a concern about a precedent,
each manager hiring process is discretionary, and one Assembly cannot bind the next in terms of
the process to be used. It may choose to use a "headhunter" firm one time, to select a single
candidate without competitive process on another occasion, and to invite applications on a third
occasion. It may also choose to start with one process and change or depart from that process,
as it was poised to do in seeking to negotiate a contract with Mr. Conrad last fall. I also note that
it is my understanding that a similar process without open applications was used for re -hiring
Nova Javier as the Clerk.
Where, as here, the Assembly has chosen to appoint a person who was an
Assemblymember within one year, the appointment decision requires a three-fourths (3/4)
majority vote for approval. This applies even if the person is not a current Assemblymember.
Otherwise, the Assembly could appoint a former Assemblymember as manager by majority vote
weeks after they leave office and the requirement for the supermajority for one year after the
person leaves office would have no meaning. Here, in addition to being Mayor, Ms. Williams was
a former Assemblymember who had not been out of Assembly office for more than one year.

ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE DOCUMENT
CONFIDENTIALITY WAIVED BY THE ASSEMBLY
ON APRIL 20, 2023
While some members of the public may have a different opinion as to what the Assembly
should do or should have done, the method used here is within the Assembly's discretion. There
is not a requirement to conduct the process in a particular way. The decision was made in open
session at a properly called meeting, making the action compliant with the OMA.
2. Should there have been a passing of the gavel to the DPO and a declaration of
"conflict of interest" in compliance with KIBC 2.35.010(D)?
Where the Mayor was the subject of the motion to appoint the Mayor as the manager the
Mayor would have a substantial financial interest in the issue and should not vote or participate
in official action in which she has a substantial financial interest. Had she passed the gavel to the
DPO and left the room there would be no question, but failing to do so does not mean that there
is a violation. If Ms. Williams did not participate in the debate and vote on the question, then there
is no violation of KIBC 2.35.010(D).
When the Assembly moved and approved the appointment of Ms. Williams as Manager
they did so at a properly called meeting and by the required vote. Whether Ms. Williams
meaningfully participated in the debate on the issue is a factual question. I understand that Ms.
Williams presided at the meeting, but did not participate in the debate or vote on the question. I
believe that under the Alaska Supreme Court's guidance in Griswold v. City of Homer, 925 P.2d
1015, 1028 (Alaska 1996) the mere presiding without debating or voting would not be found to
have influenced the votes of Assemblymembers, and would not invalidate the decision or
constitute a prohibited conflict.
3. Does the KIBC require a written application or resume stating qualifications of the
manager?
The requirement in AS 29.20.490 and KIBC 2.45.020 to choose a manager based on
executive and administrative qualifications calls on the Assembly to consider the executive and
administrative qualifications of a person before appointing them as manager. It does not prescribe
the method by which the Assembly may become aware of the executive and administrative
qualifications, nor is there any requirement in code or statute that a manager provide a written
resume or application. It is not uncommon for a candidate to be selected who is familiar to the
Assembly, and whose executive and administrative qualifications are already well known.
Examples may be seen in situations where a clerk or department head with whom the Assembly
is familiar is offered the position of manager without a competitive process based on the
Assembly's confidence in their demonstrated executive and administrative qualifications.
Further, the provision does not require a competitive weighing of qualifications, and
selection of only the "most" qualified. The Assembly has discretion to determine whether a person
meets their desired administrative qualifications, and to also take into account other factors such
as availability, cost, reliability, retainability, and the Assembly's level of confidence in the
manager's ability to carry out the Assembly policy directions effectively.
The duty imposed by this provision is satisfied if the Assembly selection is based on its
consideration of qualifications of the person. If a party were to challenge a selection as a violation
of the statute or KIBC, they would need to prove that the Assembly did not consider the person's
executive and administrative qualifications in its selection of the manager or that the person was
unqualified by some objective measure. A court will not substitute its judgment for the Assembly's

CONFIDENTIALITY WAIVED BY THE ASSEMBLY
ON APRIL 20, 2023
determination on matters such as this which are within the Assembly's discretion, and generally
will defer to that determination unless it is shown to be arbitrary.
4. Are negotiations with a manager candidate required to be conducted in open
session?
I believe that a court would find that when representatives of the Assembly are designated
to conduct employment contract negotiations with a person selected to be the Borough manager,
the Assembly's negotiating representatives would not be subject to the OMA unless the
negotiating representatives included more than three members of the Assembly. Final approval
of the contract must be in open session, and the proposed contract is a public document to be
considered by the Assembly for approval.
Here there was only one Assembly member who negotiated with the employee. The OMA
is not implicated. Even if the two Assembly representatives had met with the employee, any
"meeting" to negotiate is not just a meeting of the Assembly designated negotiators, but is a
meeting involving the potential employee, who is an independent party not acting as a member
of any Borough board or committee. This means that the "meeting" cannot be a meeting of a
governmental body.
Unless the Assembly has delegated authority to the negotiators to approve a binding
agreement on behalf of the Borough, or directed the appointed group to advise or make a policy
recommendation to the Borough, the act of negotiation does not fit definition of a meeting of a
governmental body under the OMA.
Further, the underlying policy of the OMA does not dictate that negotiations like this be
considered a meeting. The common thread in the definition of meeting is the deliberations leading
to a policy decision for the entity. AS 44.62.312 states the underlying policy that actions of
governmental bodies and their deliberations be conducted openly. The negotiations not
deliberation of a governmental body, but are the drafting a document for consideration by the
governmental body as contrasted with the actual consideration of a policy issue itself. The
deliberation and action on the issue occurs when the Assembly takes up the topic and decides
whether or not to approve the contract. Accordingly, I think it is unlikely a court would find a
gathering of the employer representative (s) and employee representative(s), whether in the
context of negotiating a manager's employment contract or a collective bargaining agreement, to
be either establishing or recommending a policy sufficient to be a meeting under the OMA unless
the negotiations are conducted by a majority empowered to make a decision for the entity.
