STAFF REPORT
JULY 22, 2023
ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Resolution No. FY2024-04 Authorizing The Manager To Execute A Grant
Agreement With The Department Of Commerce, Community, And Economic
Development Legislative Grant For The Purpose of Repair And Replacement Of
Playground Equipment At The Sargent Creek Park
ORIGINATOR: Dave Conrad, E&F Director/Admin Official
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Resolution No. FY2024-04.
DISCUSSION:
The Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) received the Legislative Grant for Anton Larsen Bay Dock in
2012 from the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development. The project
for improving the Anton Larsen Bay Dock was substantially completed in October 2015. There
were remaining funds available and the KIB asked for an extension to use the funds and
researched other items to expend the funds on in relation to the Anton Larsen Bay Dock.
Additional items (Signage) were procured and installed in May 2021. KIB researched other
options to use the available funds remaining on the grant with a short timeframe assigned by
Senator Stevens office. Using the Borough Capital Improvement Project List the Repair and
Replacement of Playground Equipment at Sargent Creek Park which has been on the CIP List
for multiple years was chosen and a request submitted.
This request was forwarded to the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic
Development who approved a reappropriation of the funds to the Repair and Replacement of
Playground Equipment at Sargent Creek Park. This will repeal the grant for Anton Larsen Bay
Dock and open a new grant with the remaining fund balance to be used.
ALTERNATIVES:
Request reassignment for alternative project or allow the grant to revert to the state.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
RESOLUTION NO. FY2023-15
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ADOPTING A
STATE LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PRIORITY LIST FOR THE 2023
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough represents approximately 13,000 residents of the
Kodiak Island Archipelago living in six incorporated cities and one community governed by a tribal
council government; and
WHEREAS, a Borough—wide capital improvement program has been adopted by the Kodiak
Island Borough Planning & Zoning Commission which identifies major needs of the island
community for the next five years; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly has reviewed the borough -wide capital
improvement program adopted by the Planning & Zoning Commission and identified major
projects to submit to the Alaska Governor and State Legislative Delegation for funding
consideration.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH that:
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's State Legislative capital improvement project
priorities (unranked) for the 2023 legislative session are as follows:
Hospital Facility Sterilizer and Boiler Replacement
Estimated Project Cost $1,000,000
Needed Funds $1,000,000
The Kodiak Island Borough owned hospital facility boilers and associated system
components are aging along with the facility. The system components that have been
identified for major repair or replacement include the oil -fired boilers, chiller unit, reverse
osmosis water system, steam generation equipment and sterilization equipment are all in
consideration. The oil -fired boilers provide the major hydronic heating component for
several associated systems at the hospital facility. They include the production of facility
heat, hot water and the hot water component for conversion to steam via a steam
generator that is distributed to the sterilizers required for the hospital operations. The
sterilizer equipment has been maintained at an operational level. Due to the age of the
existing equipment, increased frequent failures associated with the steam generator and
sterilization equipment has affected the operational capacity of the hospital to the point
where operating room availability is managed at times with the functional capacity of the
facility to ensure properly sterilized equipment. All of the system components need to be
evaluated for replacement timeframes as and of the individual component failures may
lead to services being suspended at the hospital facility.

AGENDA ITEM #1.A.2.
• Kodiak Community Health Center Expansion Design
Estimated Project Cost $25,850,000
Funding acquired $8,317,901
Estimated Design Cost $1,200,000
Needed Funds $1,200,000
The Kodiak Community Health Center (KCHC) is currently housed within the Kodiak
Island Borough owned hospital facility and co -located with Providence Kodiak Island
Medical Center.
KCHC is in need of increasing their clinic space and is planning an expansion project.
Due to various changes in the community in the past five years, patient and provider
counts have increased and pushed this organization to the maximum of their space
limitations. Additionally, an increase in patient population is expected to coincide with a
local US Coast Guard base increase in employees and their families in the next few
years.
With appropriate funding KCHC proposes to expand and improve the clinic space and
continue to provide needed services in the Kodiak community. KCHC has acquired
funding in the amount of $8.3 million toward this project, however design activities are
not eligible within this funding. KCHC is seeking design funds in order to move forward
with the project and will continue to fund raise for the balance needed.
• Ouzinkie Electrical Distribution System
Estimated Project Cost $2,500,000
Needed Funds $2,500,000
Age and exposure to salt -water atmosphere have revealed that all the transformers on
Ouzinkie's electric distribution system have rusted out. When the lids rust thru, water gets
into the transformer causing extreme loads, short circuits, and the potential, (due to
buildup of gas pressure), of explosion with consequences to individuals and property in
the vicinity. It is expected that this preventive renovation will reveal other situations such
as individual poles that need replacement and rerouting of transmission lines. A highly
critical and significant section of Ouzinkie's power is connected to the hydroelectric plant.
This connection is by direct burial concentric neutral 7,200 -volt power lines. This quality
of cable as it was installed has been estimated by Kodiak Electric Association's Electrical
Engineer to have exceeded its normal expected life and is subject to failure any day. The
western section of town is serviced by the same type of cable and there is no possibility
of delivering power to these residents, temporary or otherwise when this failure occurs.
It is requested that this project be engineered and managed by the Alaska Energy
Authority.
• City of Larsen Bay Water Distribution Lines
Estimated Project Cost $1,700,000
Needed Funds $1,700,000
The City of Larsen Bay water distribution system is losing approximately 40,000
gallons of water every 24 hours due to unidentifiable leaks in the system. All of the
leaks that could be found have been repaired, however the water plant is working 24
hours a day, 7 days a week and during the summer months there is difficulty keeping
up with the water usage.

AGENDA ITEM #1.A.2.
Old Harbor Septic Tank Replacement
Estimated Project Cost $100,000
Needed Funds $100,000
Install a sewer septic tank in downtown Old Harbor, Alaska.
• Service Area Road Improvements and Paving
Estimated Project Cost $10,000,000
Local Funds $1,000,000
Needed Funds $9,000,000
This project addresses the on-going need to improve portions of Borough Service Area
roads. There are approximately 26 miles of road among four Road Service Areas that
connect residential neighborhoods with the greater Kodiak community.
Paving projects will address main thoroughfares or busy neighborhood roads.
Improvements to major drainage courses, installation of guard rails, and other identified
road improvement needs may also be addressed with this funding.
The two larger local road services areas, Road Service Area No. 1, serving an area north
of the City of Kodiak, and Women's Bay Service Area will share the funding amongst
priorities that have been determined by the road service area boards. Local contributions
to road improvements may be funded through local improvement districts where those in
the district are taxed a proportion of the project cost.
• Drainage Improvements for Chiniak Highway and Sargent Creek Intersection
Estimated Project Cost $2,500,000
Needed Funds $2,500,000
This request is to provide funding to the DOT&PF Southcoast Region, Kodiak Island
District for the construction of improvements near the intersection of the Chiniak Highway
and Sargent Creek Road. These improvements will address flooding at the intersection
that sometimes makes it impassable.
Heavy rain events occurring in conjunction with high tide cause the intersection to flood
the only roadway in and out of Bells Flats subdivision. This flooding impedes safe travel
and often leaves motorists stranded and unable to reach their homes in the subdivision or
conversely, critical services located in town.
The Kodiak Island Borough recently sponsored and was awarded a Bridge Investment
Program grant for the Kodiak Sargent Creek and Russian River Bridges Planning Study.
These bridges are located on either side of the intersection of the Chiniak Highway and
Sargent Creek Road. The timing is optimal for coordinating the planning study with design
work necessary for construction improvements to ensure that ongoing flooding issues at
this intersection are mitigated.

AGENDA ITEM #1.A.2.
An evaluation and planning are needed to address the lack of maintenance on this state-
owned roadway that runs through the community of Port Lions in the Kodiak Island
Borough.
The residents of Port Lions are currently driving on what is left of the original surface gravel
for the approximately five (5) miles of State Route in our community. The State Route runs
from the Airstrip through the Port Lions Subdivision, around Settlers' Cove, through the
Wakefield Subdivision, to the Ferry Dock. It is the only means of access to air and ferry
travel for the residents. It is also the access route for families residing in the Wakefield
Subdivision to get to the School, Post Office, both Churches, and Small Boat Harbor.
There are approximately two and a half (2.5) additional miles of roadway in Port Lions
which are residential streets and drives.
A project to resurface the State Route was on the AK DOT STIP in 2003-2004, but it
suddenly disappeared from the STIP, and none of our efforts to have it placed back on
the STIP have not been successful. The condition of the State Route in 2003 was not
good, and it has steadily deteriorated since. There is simply no surface D-1 left. Dust in
the summer, mud in the fall/winter, and potholes year-round are chronic problems affecting
the health of the residents in the community (especially those with COPD, asthma, and
other lung conditions) and beating up vehicles (flat tires are very common, door hinges
and shock absorbers fail frequently).
The Native Village of Port Lions and the City of Port Lions share road maintenance efforts
in the village, but neither entity has sufficient resources to address the current condition
of the State Route, including the production of enough D-1 gravel to accomplish
resurfacing of this route.
• School Roof Evaluation and Design
Estimated Project Cost $100,000
Needed Funds $100,000
This project addresses two local elementary school roofs that have aged and are leaking.
The metal roof on the west section East Elementary School has reached degradation and
requires replacement. Some structural repair is also necessary to support the alternative
design in order to eliminate the building flaw that was led to leaking. The North Star
Elementary roof has been evaluated by a third -party contractor who has determined
multiple sidewall failures, allowing water to penetrate under membranes. Saturation of the
foam insulation has reduced the ability for the building to retain heat. Additionally, the
skylight above the school's atrium has been leaking a number of years and needs to be
replaced.
• Safe Pathways to North Star Elementary School
Estimated Project Cost $2,000,000
Needed Funds $2,000,000
North Star Elementary School is located on a hill amongst several residential
neighborhoods. Many roads connecting the neighborhoods around the school are narrow,
steep, and winding dirt roads without sidewalks or separated pathways to keep
pedestrians safe from vehicular traffic. The Kodiak Safe Routes to Schools Plan (2013)
describes a need for separated pathways or trails to connect the residential
neighborhoods to the school. This project would provide separated soft surface pedestrian
pathways along Lily Drive and Anton Way.

AGENDA ITEM #1.A.2.
• Akhiok School HVAC Controls Replacement
Estimated Project Cost $300,000
Needed Funds $300,000
All of Kodiak Island's rural school's HVAC systems should be evaluated for retrofit and
reduction of computer control systems. Due to the remote nature of the location of these
schools, including the Akhiok community school where the HVAC controls in place are
failing, the communities would benefit from having less computerized systems that could
be maintained by a local resident with assistance from school district maintenance staff.
• Sargent Creek Community Playground & Basketball Court
Estimated Project Cost $300,000
Local Funding $2,000
Needed Funds $148,000
The goal of this project is to provide modern playground equipment that meets current
standards to replace old equipment at a community playground.
The small playground located at 538 Sargent Creek Road by the Women's Bay Fire
Department was installed more than 30 years ago and needs to be updated. The Sargent
Creek Playground experiences a significant level of use by families in the neighborhood,
as it is the only park/playground on the Sargent Creek side of Womens Bay. There are
currently just 4 pieces of equipment, 3 of which are rusted and in need of removal and
replacement. There is also an existing basketball court, but it lacks pavement and sits on
a grassy patch of ground. Significant ground/site prep work, including pouring cement,
would be required to bring the basketball court to a functional level.
A similar playground project took place at the Panamaroff Park in 2014. Cost estimates
are from that project. The Womens Bay Community Coalition is committed to seeking
funding from a variety of sources and are willing to provide volunteer labor as
needed. Kodiak Island Borough owns the land where the park is located.
• Mill Bay Beach Access and Recreation Upgrade
Estimated Project Cost $500,000
Needed Funds $500,000
Mill Bay Beach is a recreational area heavily used by residents, sport fishermen and
community groups who come to access this beach site located close to town. Time, tide,
and use have eroded safe access to the two stretches of beach at this site. This project
includes new stairs, walkways and trail enhancements between the two beaches, as well
as a small raft/kayak launch.
• Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension to Ice Free Water
Estimated Project Cost $10,450,000
Funding Acquired $450,000
Needed Funds $10,000,000
An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road will be a public road of approximately 2.2
miles to ice free waters just outside Anton Larsen Bay. The project will include a boat

launching ramp. The road will provide year around road access to Kodiak for residents of
Port Lions, Ouzinkie and much of the west side of Kodiak Island and all of Afognak Island
without having to travel around Spruce Cape.
Year-round travel by vessel to Kodiak around Spruce Cape is treacherous. Extending the
Anton Larsen Bay Road makes winter traveling safer and provides access to critical
services located in the City of Kodiak — including hospitals and businesses. The road
extension will support existing commercial operations in Marmot Bay such as Kodiak
Electrical Association hydro -electric plant, Koniag Inc. rock quarry, and Kodiak Regional
Aquaculture Association's Kitoi hatchery. Moreover, an extended road will enhance
summer and winter recreational opportunities and activities for all Kodiak residents.
The Anton Larsen Bay Road extension is envisioned as a project undertaken by the Native
Village of Ouzinkie or the Spruce Island Develop Corporation. It will be built on a road
right-of-way donated by the Ouzinkie Native Corporation and Koniag, Inc. The road
extension is also in the Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak's road inventory. Maintenance of the
extension is expected to be by one or both tribal entities. The route is identified in the
Kodiak Transportation Plan as in important upland facility. Routing is complete and most
of the design work is finished. An environmental assessment was completed in 2020. It is
requested that this project be included in State of Alaska's State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP). Funding will be from State and/or Federal funds with
Ouzinkie Native Corporation and Tribe providing the right-of-way and in-kind services.

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY2023-18 Amending Kodiak Island Borough Code Title 1

Schedule Setting Out Penalties In The Minor Offense Fine Schedule; And
Amending Title 8 Health And Safety Chapter 8.20 Littering Section 8.20.010
Unlawful Acts Regarding Littering And Improper Disposal Of Waste
ORIGINATOR: Seema Garoutte, Assessor/Interim CDD Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to advance Ordinance No. FY2023-18 to public hearing at the next regular meeting of the
Assembly.
DISCUSSION:
After discussion with the Assembly, Community Development would like to bring forward the
following ordinance forward for the Assemblies consideration to update portions of the UMOT
code.
The mandatory court appearance for Improper Use of Recreational Vehicle as a Dwelling Unit
was left on as it was. Community Development believes that we should go through the court
system due to it being a place of residence. We would have substantial amounts of evidence
for the court to make a decision.
History: In 2022, Community Development asked the Assembly about putting together some
information about updates to UMOT. At that time, it was a general consensus by the
Assembly to put some numbers together and bring it back to the Assembly to see if they were
interested in Community Development putting an ordinance together to update UMOT for
Zoning Compliance, including individuals living in RV's for more than 90 days, outdoor
Storage, and includes Building and Construction penalties and remedies so that work in
conjunction with Building and Safety.
Additionally, Community Development is working with Attorney Brandt -Erichsen on a cease
and desist order, with the option to appeal to dispute. Community Development will bring that
forward for Assembly review after all the details have been worked out.

Subject: Resignation
SWAB Team,
I found out yesterday that I will be moving to the A street location effective next Saturday. With that being said, I
will no longer be able to serve on the SWAB. It has been a very interesting 18 months watching the passion that
everyone has for making this amazing island better and understanding that as a community we need to preserve the
beauty of Kodiak. I know that my spot is the "retail' board member and I believe (my opinion)the next retail
member should be someone from a local business. I believe Someone who understands Kodiak and has a personal
vested interest in what happens here will be better than anyone who is just visiting. They will have a better pulse on
the community and should understand things completely different than someone who operates a "big box". I do
want to thank you each of you for allowing me the opportunity to share this experience with you.
Robert

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Approval Of A Letter Of Support For The Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory
Council (CIRCAC) Recertification Application
ORIGINATOR: Nova M. Javier, MMC, Borough Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to approve a letter of support for the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council
recertification application.
DISCUSSION:
CIRCAC is soliciting letters of support from boroughs and municipalities for its triennial
recertification application as the alternative advisory group for Cook Inlet, Alaska, pursuant to
the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. The recertification request observes the revised USCG guidelines
that require a full application process with a full public comment period for one year out of every
three; this is a year for that full process.
The deadline for submission for this letter is August 4, 2023. The Assembly may view CI RCAC's
recertification application here.

Rear Admiral Megan Dean
United States Coast Guard
Commander 17th Coast Guard District
Docket Number: USCG -2023-0392
RE: Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council Recertification Application
Dear Rear Admiral Dean:
I am writing in full support of recertification of the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council
(CIRCAC). Since its creation in 1990, CIRCAC has been Cook Inlet's most effective organization for
promoting programs to prevent spills, enhance safety in both marine transportation and oil facilities
operations, and protect Cook Inlet's waters, shorelines, cultural, natural and wildlife resources.
CIRCAC has been proactive in working with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
(ADEC) on a suite of regulatory updates, approved in 2021. CIRCAC worked with the agency,
industry partners and through various public outreach campaigns to educate and support updates
that strengthened the state's spill response rules.
Not only does CIRCAC advocate for better regulatory oversight and safety measures, but they also
contribute concrete solutions on how to achieve those goals. This includes conducting risk
assessments, sharing data, developing applicable tools and strategies, evaluating best available
technology, engaging the public, and thoroughly reviewing contingency plans and regulations that
prioritize prevention while promoting safety. No other organization has focused as much attention
for as many years to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks in this region.
Working with industry and multiple local, state, and federal agencies, CIRCAC has expanded its Ice
Camera Network. The information provided by these cameras has significantly reduced the risk of
an incident in Cook Inlet's dynamic winter conditions and highlights CIRCAC's ability to develop
partnerships and share information.

Letter to USCG Rear Admiral Dean
CIRCAC Certification
Page 2 of 2
July 20, 2023
CIRCAC's science and environmental monitoring programs provide valuable data about coastal
habitats, physical oceanography, and oil behavior. They recently entered a three-year agreement
with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to compile historical contaminants data from
Cook Inlet into an integrated database for online access.
CIRCAC continues to provide its stakeholders and the public an avenue through which they can
work with industry and regulators to ensure safe operations in the region.
CIRCAC's accomplishments in the last three years include, but are certainly not limited to:
• Identified areas on the north side of Kodiak Island for future ShoreZone updates
• Completed field sampling in the Kodiak region for long term studies on marine snow fates
• Received study plan approval from BOEM for data needs for model validation in Cook Inlet
and Kodiak Island regions
• Advocated for a strengthening of oil spill prevention and response regulations
• Increased public outreach efforts through new, local advertising, exhibits and expanding
audiences for its newsletter, website, and social media
• Expanded Geographic Response Information Database (GRID) in scope and accessibility
including the Kodiak region
• Participated on and provide expertise to the Cook Inlet Harbor Safety Committee
• Expanded the Cook Inlet Ice Monitoring Camera Network with modern video technology
Since its inception, CIRCAC has formed and strengthened partnerships and encouraged consensus
decision-making. Through this process, CIRCAC brings a varied group of stakeholders together to
create environmental monitoring and oil spill prevention programs to promote safe production and
transportation of oil in Cook Inlet.
I strongly urge the U.S. Coast Guard to recertify CIRCAC so that it can continue to build on its work
and positively impact the future of Cook Inlet.
Sincerely,
Scott Arndt, Mayor

ASSEMBLY'S PREROGATIVE IN JUDGING VOTING PROCEDURE
Unless the bylaws provide otherwise, the Assembly itself is the judge of all questions arising that are incidental to the voting or the counting
of the votes. In an election by ballot, for example, the tellers (p.401, I. 16-21) should refer to the Assembly for decision on all questions on
which there is any uncertainty.
REQUIRED VOTES FOR MOTIONS
(Motions requiring 2/3 vote to carry (7 present requires 5)
✓ Reconsideration on the same day
✓ Suspension of rules
✓ Limit of extend debate
✓ Declaring vacancy on the Assembly and Office of the Mayor
✓ Budget Adoption Veto — Override
✓ Extending the adjournment time beyond 11 p.m.
Attorney's opinion dated April 6, 2023
Absences do not reduce the vote requirement. Otherwise, if there were only four (4) present, it might mean that 3 votes would
approve a motion. The court is more likely to treat it as the number of votes of the fully constituted body, and would only reduce the
number of persons were disqualified not just absent. He expected a court to read the voting requirement to include 2/3 of the FULL
membership not just those who are in attendance.
Majority vote is majority of the membership (quorum)
✓ Point of Order (KIBC 2.30.080)
✓ Previous Question
✓ Recess — not to exceed 20 minutes
✓ Appealing the decision of the chair when it comes to conflict of interest
✓ Extending the adjournment time beyond 10:30 p.m.
✓ Appointing the DPO requires majority
✓ Appointing a Manager (no sooner than one year after leaving Mayor/Assembly office)
✓ Calling a special meeting
✓ The same motion that receives the same outcome two meetings in a row shall not be revisited for six months unless the
members by a majority vote agree to do so.

heard the Alutiiq Museum proposal mentioned a number of times. I would like to take this opportunity to
respond and clarify some information.
I did not attend the meeting in person because I had seen that our proposal was in the proposed funding
list attached to the resolution in the packet, and did not know that there would be active editing of
proposed funding during the meeting. To hear members comment that we were supposed to be zeroed
out was disheartening. I wish to respond to a comment I heard from a member that we are being denied
funding because we will be closed for our renovation.
Our renovation project has required us to close our gallery about a week ago, but I am not sure why this
would mean we should be denied funding. Like the staff time concern, nothing in the grant application led
us to believe we would be ineligible for funding due to our efforts to improve the museum's public spaces.
Our cultural center is much more than an exhibit gallery. In the public presentation I gave on the 8th of
this month, I shared the list of Alutiiq Museum services that will continue while our gallery is closed.
Although Mayor Arndt was at the presentation I understand that maybe some assembly members do not
know how much of our work will continue during the closure. For your reference here is that list of non-
affected services: Public Presentations & Outreach, KIBSD Classroom Support, Pop-up Mobile Museum,
Offsite Store at the KANA Marketplace, Artist Support, Publications, Workshops & Events, Educational and
instructional videos, Website resources, Social Media, Internships, Language Program, Archaeology,
Education Boxes, and the Ancestors' Memorial. The services that we are unable to provide during the
closure include our exhibit gallery and hosting visiting researchers in our repository. We are still here and
serving the community while we work to improve our offerings for the public. With no admissions revenue
and reduced store income until we open our off-site store at the KANA Marketplace, small grants mean
more then ever to us this year.
Our renovation project has faced significant construction cost increases, and we are working overtime to
value -engineer our project and fundraise to cover our current approximate $3M funding gap. It seems
there may be a perception that our organization is wealthy if we are planning a renovation, but that is not
the case. If the assembly is wiling to hear a presentation about the project and how it will benefit our
borough, I would be happy to do so. You are also welcome to follow project updates at the renovation
page of our website at http://aIutiigmuseum.org/visit/renovation.
I thank you for reading my comments, and know that the decisions being made are difficult.
I sincerely appreciate your efforts.
Quyanaa (Thank you),
April Counceller
