E-mail: ufa@ufa-fish.org Website: www.ufa-fish.org
2024 UFA National Policy Platform
United Fishermen of Alaska (UFA) represents 37 commercial fishing organizations participating
in fisheries throughout the state and the federal fisheries off Alaska's coast. UFA's mission is to
promote and protect the common interest of Alaska's commercial fishing industry as a vital
component of Alaska's social and economic well-being. Alaska seafood represents more than 60%
of all seafood harvested in the U.S. and is a critical part of domestic food production, as well as
export markets in about 100 countries worldwide. Alaska seafood is subject to global market
factors that directly affect its value, whether it is sold in the U.S. or exported.
Alaska seafood currently faces exceptional national and global challenges including (1) trade
policy and non -reciprocal tariffs that favor other nations, (2) high levels of supply and current
inventory, (3) high operational costs and inflation, (4) reduced consumer demand, (5) and global
competitors that are subject to less regulations with lower operating costs, but are also less
sustainable than domestic seafood harvesters and processors. These challenges affect the
economic viability of harvesting and processing businesses, and our local communities that are
dependent on seafood commerce and fish landing taxes across the state of Alaska.
United Fishermen of Alaska (UFA) supports efforts to improve global competitiveness and
resilience of the Alaska commercial seafood industry (including harvesters, processors, support
businesses, communities and the state of Alaska). Achieving global competitiveness and resilience
for U.S. seafood requires a multi -pronged approach across multiple government offices. For
example, NOAA is currently creating an implementation plan for the National Seafood Strategy
which necessitates collaboration across multiple national agencies that affect the viability of
Alaska seafood. The Federal government's Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee issued the
2023 National Export Strategy that includes a chapter on Seafood Industries and highlights
forthcoming efforts to improve interagency coordination and global market competitiveness for
domestic seafood producers. To further coordinate and move that effort forward we strongly
advocate for the creation of an Office of Seafood Policy and Program Integration within USDA.
In addition, we identify the following as UFA's National Policy statements.
Borough Manager's Report Page 26 of 66
AGENDA ITEM #11.A.
1. Alaska seafood is a valuable component of national food security, health, and commerce.
Wild seafood from Alaska is responsibly harvested, and one of the best sources of essential
nutrients. In Alaska we are incredibly proud of our sustainably managed commercial fisheries,
and believe our sustainability distinguishes us from many foreign competitors. This message
should continue to be pushed out to the American public to encourage more domestic consumption
of U.S. seafood.
Seafood is nutritious, but Americans don't eat enough of it. UFA supports integrating seafood into
national strategies for improving public health and nutrition. Updated guidance from the FDA
recommends increased fish consumption for a healthy diet, especially for pregnant women and
children. Current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend two to three servings of healthy
seafood a week per person, yet domestic consumption rates remain less than half that level. The
Government Accountability Office issued a 2022 report finding that nutritional guidelines
recommend school -aged children receive between four and ten ounces of seafood per week, but
the National School Lunch Program only delivers about three ounces of seafoodep r year to these
students.
2. Integrate seafood into USDA policy strategies/programs and increase USDA Section 32
purchases of Alaska seafood. UFA advocates for integrating seafood into U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) policies and programs to help ensure domestic food security, supply chain
integrity, and provide support for harvesting and processing businesses - similar to that already
available to other domestic protein sources. The lack of recognition for domestic seafood in U.S.
trade policy objectives and priorities results in market conditions that reduce the value of Alaska
seafood and accessibility to global markets. This creates an unlevel playing field that harms
domestically harvested Alaska seafood.
As a way to help level the playing field UFA appreciates and encourages increasing government
purchases of Alaska seafood, e.g., Section 32 purchases. UFA also suggests increased re-
investment in US seafood via USDA low-interest loans and loan guarantees for fishermen and
processors, and expansion of USDA Foreign Agricultural Service trade missions and other export
market development assistance to include seafood.
3. Ensure U.S. seafood trade policies and strategies best support the seafood industry. UFA
seeks improved trade policy work through the United States Trade Representative (USTR) in order
to create a more level playing field for Alaska seafood. We see the positive pattern in day-to-day
trade policy formulation and implementation where USTR works hand -in -glove with USDA on
agricultural trade. However, there is no comparable process on seafood within the Department of
Commerce. We encourage expanding USTR's focus on seafood, including adding additional
seafood expertise, in order to develop effective policy positions to help Alaska seafood trade. Our
members also strongly support resolving the unbalanced and unfair seafood trade relationship that
allows Russian -harvested seafood to continue to enter the U.S. duty free due to its "substantial
transformation" in third -party countries, usually China.

AGENDA ITEM #11.A.
4. Increase investment to improve and update domestic infrastructure for U.S. seafood.
Alaska is a commercial fishing powerhouse, but even it has aging fishing fleets and processing
facilities. Our seafood industry would greatly benefit from investments to modernize our seafood
infrastructure. Modernizing and replacing commercial fishing vessels would increase efficiency
and safety on the water, while modernizing processing facilities would increase efficiency while
creating opportunities for more value -add processing in the U.S. Concerted effort to bring more
seafood processing back to the U.S., rather than continuing to ship product overseas, will create a
tremendous opportunity for U.S. seafood. Updating seafood industry infrastructure will benefit
our coastal fishing communities, and increase local and national food security by eliminating the
need to ship product overseas. UFA also supports government policies that reduce our domestic
operating costs, including policies on recapitalization, vessel construction, tax structures,
workforce accessibility, and energy.
5. Fully funded fisheries science/management and industry promotion & marketing grants.
Core fishery surveys provide necessary information that underpins our entire science -based
management system. Existing core surveys must continue, and NOAA should consider expanding
what is considered core to account for rapidly changing ocean conditions and shifting fish stocks
(for example, adding regular surveys in the Northern Bering Sea or increasing surveys in the Gulf
of Alaska to occur annually). In addition, UFA advocates for increased funding to the Saltonstall-
Kennedy (SK) Fund, which currently derives funding from 30% of duties collected on imported
marine products. The SK act provides that 60% [of the 30%] go to the SK grant program to
promote and develop US -produced seafood, however, less than 5% is currently used to fund the
SK grant program. UFA supports increasing federal funding for new product development, testing,
promotion, and marketing of US produced seafood through Saltonstall Kennedy Funds, provided
federal funding for fisheries science and management is not compromised.

2023: A perfect storm of economic circumstances hits Alaska seafood
Many coastal communities in Alaska depend on Alaska seafood for food security and for an economic
foundation that sustains their economies. Often, the health of the Alaska seafood industry and the
health of these communities are interdependent. In 2023, the culmination of multiple economic factors
has created dire economic conditions, resulting in a free -fall of seafood prices, millions of dollars in
losses and, in some cases, processors had to stop buying fish to reduce further losses.
Experts estimate the state and its coastal communities lost $2 billion in 2023: $1 billion in lost first
wholesale revenues and $1 billion in decreased spending on vessels and facilities. Fishermen and
processors have borne the brunt of these impacts to date. With conditions unlikely to notably improve in
2024, the effects will continue to affect communities and more businesses and residents across the state.
The Alaska seafood industry is facing economic conditions unlike any since the collapse of salmon value
in the 1990s, except this time, it is across multiple species.
The higher standards in the U.S., for fisheries management, environmental and social considerations,
and worker safety, mean it costs more to produce seafood compared to countries with lower standards.
In Alaska, those costs are even higher due to the remote location of most of the fisheries and processing
operations. These safeguards help keep our fisheries sustainable and ethical, yet, we face an uneven
playing field from countries that harvest seafood without similar regulatory costs.
Today's problems are a result of the confluence of at least a dozen global and national economic factors
occurring simultaneously, a few of which include:
1) Increased costs
• Total statewide wages for seafood processing workers increased 30% from 2021 to 2022.
They had previously doubled from 2002 to 2020.
• Operational costs for fishermen and processors increased due to historically high
inflation in 2021 and 2022.
• Shipping - International shipping rates spiked between 100% and 1000% from 2020 to
2022, while domestic shipping rates increased approximately 20% during the same
period.
• Supply chain of custody costs to ensure the sustainability and social responsibility of US
fisheries mainly due to other 'bad actors', such as China
• Cost of compliance with U.S. environmental standards relative to other countries
2) Excess inventories of several abundant species harvested in Alaska and other countries in 2022
and 2023, including sockeye and pink salmon, sablefish, and pollock, which will likely continue
into 2024.

3) Decreasing demand as consumers react to inflation and post-COVID conditions
4) Russian war on Ukraine, leading Russia to sell seafood on the global market at historically low
prices in 2023 to secure cash, lowering seafood value overall
5) Unfair trade policy, including key trade relationships that reduce the value of Alaska seafood
relative to other countries with lower tariffs. This includes Russia's 2014 ban on importing US
seafood into Russia, while Russia exports its seafood to the U.S. via China
Clearly, there's much that must be done to stabilize Alaska's seafood industry, beginning with good
information about the problems we are facing today. That's why the Board of the Alaska Seafood
Marketing Institute explained the "extraordinary circumstances" from a market perspective, and the
United Fishermen of Alaska hosted and recorded a webinar with seafood processors to discuss the
current challenges of seafood markets. While many must take measures to survive, we need to look
beyond today and toward a future in which everyone thrives. Alaskans need to create a public dialogue
about the problem and the solutions in Alaska's fishing communities, Juneau, and Washington DC.
At the federal government level, PSPA has identified several changes that would help:
1. Improve and expand existing agency functions that support US seafood, including:
• Improve coordination and collaboration across multiple federal agencies that affect the
economic viability of Alaska seafood via the implementation plan for NOAA's National Seafood
Strategy
• Include seafood in USDA Foreign Agricultural Service trade missions
• Increase government purchases of Alaska seafood
• Improve government policies to assist in recapitalization, vessel construction, tax structures,
workforce accessibility, energy, and infrastructure
• Increase government funding for new product development, testing, promotion, and marketing
of US produced seafood
2. Integrate US seafood production into national food policy strategies and USDA programs designed
to support domestic food production, including:
• Create an Office of Seafood Policy and Program Integration within USDA to fully integrate US
seafood into USDA policy strategies and programs
• Expand eligibility of USDA low-interest loans or loan guarantees to fishermen and processors
• Fully integrate seafood and seafood nutritional guidance into national strategies for improving
public health and nutrition
3. Restore fairness and reciprocity for international trade in U.S. seafood products, including:
• Embed seafood expertise and leadership in the office of the U.S. Trade Representative to elevate
seafood in trade agreements
• Improve trade policy via USTR and other agencies to create a more reciprocal tariff structure for
seafood exports and imports
• Develop more effective tools, like harvest certificates, for monitoring supply chain traceability
and deterring Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing
• Resolve the unbalanced and unfair seafood trade relationship between Russia and the U.S.,
including support for the Alaska delegation's efforts to block imports of Russian seafood
processed in China or other countries

PSPA Position to Improve Global Competitiveness and Resilience of the Alaska Seafood Industry
October 2023
Alaska seafood currently faces exceptional national and international challenges including trade policy
and non -reciprocal tariffs that favor other nations, high global supply and existing unsold inventory for
salmon and whitefish throughout the entire supply chain, high relative costs due to inflation and other
factors, reduced consumer demand post -pandemic, and foreign seafood competitors that are less
regulated, less sustainable, and have lower operating costs than domestic seafood producers. These
global market factors directly affect the value of Alaska seafood, whether it is sold in the U.S. or
exported. The recent confluence of events has lowered the value of commercial seafood across the
nation, including for Alaska, and resulted in market collapse. While some challenging market conditions
will improve over time, the need for federal governmental agency leadership and collaboration
(Department of Commerce/NOAA, USDA, USTR, FDA) to recognize, elevate, and support the domestic
seafood industry is necessary to improve our overall competitiveness and resilience, as is the need to
fully maintain core data collection efforts that form the foundation of the management structure.
The Alaska seafood industry is made up of thousands of small and independent fishermen businesses,
processing businesses, support businesses including transportation, brokers, buyers, and marketing for
consumer/retail markets, and rural coastal communities (many of which are not accessible by road).
Their well-being, as well as Alaska's economy, depends on the competitiveness and resilience of the
entire Alaska seafood supply chain. Alaska produces approximately 5 billion pounds of sustainable
seafood every year — more than 60% of U.S. harvested seafood — and is dependent on access to both
U.S. markets and export markets to be viable. Improving the global competitiveness of Alaska's seafood
benefits the entire seafood industry: harvesters, processors, support businesses, communities, and the
state of Alaska.
Seafood is not currently integrated into many USDA policies or programs designed to ensure domestic
food security, supply chain integrity, and support for harvesting and processing businesses, at the same
level as terrestrial sources of protein. At the same time, the USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans
and the Food and Drug Administration's Seafood Consumption Advice recommend increased fish
consumption for a healthy diet, especially for pregnant women and children, yet domestic consumption
remains less than half of the recommended levels for adults and significantly below the nutritional
guidelines recommended for school -aged children via the National School Lunch Program. At the
international level, the lack of domestic seafood recognition in U.S. trade policy objectives and priorities
results in non -reciprocal trade relationships and market conditions that reduce the value of Alaska
seafood relative to seafood -producing competitors in other countries with lower tariffs. While Alaska
has absorbed significant costs in adhering to sustainable fisheries management requirements and
building responsible supply chain management practices, Alaska seafood has incurred significant losses
in export markets, undermining years of investment and making it increasingly difficult to rebuild a
competitive position in global seafood markets.

FEMA Fact Sheet: Local Hazard Mitigation Planning
Hazard Mitigation Planning for Local
Governments
This fact sheet provides an overview of mitigation planning for local governments.
Natural hazards can cause loss of life and damage property and infrastructure. These events can also harm a
community's economic, social and environmental well-being. Hazard mitigation lessens the impacts of natural
hazards by taking actions before the next event. Hazard mitigation plans raise awareness of hazards, risks and
vulnerabilities. They also identify ways to reduce risk and focus local resources on the greatest risks. At the same
time, they communicate local priorities to state and federal officials.
The Local Mitigation Planning Process
The mitigation planning process encourages local governments, including special districts, to work mitigation into
other planning processes. Examples of these may include land use, housing, transportation, economic development,
floodplain management and others. Mitigation planning has four steps:
1. Identify the Planning Team and Organize Resources: Gather the resources you will need for a successful
mitigation planning process. Reach out to technical experts. Define the planning area. Find partners, such as
non -profits, to join the planning process. The 2022 Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide explains this process.
2. Assess Risks: Identify each hazard's characteristics and potential effects. Find where the hazard may occur.
Which people, properties or assets may be in harm's way? It is wise to speak with representatives from sectors
that support diverse communities within the planning area. It is also a good idea to talk with people representing
community lifelines, such as water and power infrastructure.
3. Develop a Mitigation Strategy: Set goals and long-term strategies to avoid or lessen the effects of natural
hazards. Local governments should base their strategy on an assessment of their regulatory, administrative and
financial capabilities that can support risk reduction.
4. Adopt and Implement the Plan: Bring the plan to life by adopting it and carrying out the mitigation actions in the
strategy.
Benefits of Hazard Mitigation for Local Governments
Mitigation is an investment in future safety and sustainability. Mitigation planning helps you act now, before a
disaster, to reduce losses. Mitigation plans are also a prerequisite for some kinds of non -emergency disaster
assistance. Mitigation planning can:
■ Increase public safety and prevent loss of life and injury.

AGENDA ITEM #11.A.
Hazard Mitigation Planning for Local Governments
■ Reduce damage to existing and future development.
■ Prevent harm to economic, cultural and environmental assets.
■ Reduce downtime, speed up recovery and lower response costs.
■ Meet other community objectives. These include capital improvements, infrastructure protection, open space
preservation and economic resilience.
Mitigation Actions for Risk Reduction
Mitigation actions can reduce losses from natural hazards. The four types of mitigation actions are:
■ Plans and Regulations: Set policies or codes that guide the way government authorities develop land and build
structures.
■ Structure and Infrastructure Projects: Update existing buildings and infrastructure or build to higher standards.
■ Education and Awareness Programs: Teach visitors, residents, and elected officials about hazards and ways to
reduce risks.
■ Natural Systems Protection: Minimize damage and losses while saving or restoring the functions of natural
systems.
Mitigation Plan Implementation and Monitoring
Communities can act by completing mitigation projects and adding mitigation to other plans and programs.
Monitoring how the plan is carried out makes sure it stays relevant as priorities and development patterns change. A
local government must update its hazard mitigation plan every 5 years.
FEMA has several guides, tools and resources to help communities create hazard mitigation plans.
■ Hazard mitigation planning regulations and guidance direct the development of state, local, tribal and
territorial hazard mitigation plans.
■ The Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide is an official document local governments can use to develop,
update and carry out their plans. It includes tools and examples. The Local Mitigation Planning Handbook is
also a useful reference.
■ Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards gives example mitigation actions Lased
on hazard type.
■ Create a Hazard Mitigation Plan has planning resources and information on virtual and in-person trainings.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
RESOLUTION NO. 2024-14
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH IDENTIFYING
FEDERAL PROJECT AND PROGRAM PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2025
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 2025 are as follows:
1. FY 2025 Community Project/Congressionally Directed Spending Requests: The
Borough submits the following FY 2025 community project/Congressionally directed
spending requests, consistent with guidance issued by the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees.
• Kodiak Island Medical Center Renovation & Expansion Project: The
Borough is seeking funding for a project to build a three-story diagnostic and
treatment/patient care addition to our existing hospital to replace an existing
wing that is structurally deficient and whose support systems are failing. The
total estimated cost of the project is $54.4 million which will meet seismic
standards as well as future medical care needs in Kodiak. We are seeking
$11.5 million in FY 2025 funding for its engineering and design.
• St Herman's Harbor Infrastructure Replacement: St. Hermans Harbor has
been a vital harbor facility for Kodiak's large and diverse commercial fishing
fleet for 40 years. The facility provides safe moorage for over four hundred
vessels from all over Alaska and the West Coast. Unfortunately, its float system
is aged, decrepit and starting to fail. The City applied for MARAD Port
Infrastructure Development Program FY 2023 grant funding for Phase One of
the float system replacement project but was not awarded funding. We thank
the Alaska Delegation for its letter of support for the application to the Secretary
of Transportation and urge that a similar letter be sent when the City applies
for funding in the FY 2024 grant round.
2. Broadband Service To Rural Areas: Establishing or improving broadband service
to the Borough's rural communities has been a high Federal priority for us for many
years. Deployment of high-speed broadband to rural areas such as Kodiak continued
in FY 2024 through a mix of Federal programs 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. We support continued rollout of these programs in
FY 2025 and any broadband applications/projects submitted that would expand or
improve service to our Island communities.
3. Use Of Borough Property For Housing: Kodiak faces a severe housing shortage.
The shortage has reduced the availability of rental housing stock and driven up prices
for lower and moderate -income residents. The Borough is interested in using property
in its possession for construction of worker housing in partnership with a local seafood
processing company. During the due diligence of this process, the Borough discovered
deed restrictions on property use when it was originally conveyed by the Federal
government. Those restrictions indicate the property must be used for public purposes.
We believe that meeting local housing needs constitutes a public purpose but need
concurrence from the Department of Interior before the housing project can move
forward. We want to thank the Delegation for its December 2023 letter to the Secretary
making that argument and await the Department's reply.
4. Groundfish Surveys: Our Federal resolutions over the years have consistently called for
maintenance of effort of Federal groundfish trawl surveys in Alaska. This maintenance of
effort is needed as part of the Federal science- and data -driven fishery management
process to establish sustainable groundfish quotas. It has been supported by the Alaska
Congressional Delegation for which we are appreciative. This baseline is for six surveys,
one of which is dedicated to movement of fish out of historical survey areas. That
funding/directive is pending in the FY 2024 appropriations bills. We respectfully request
that six Alaska groundfish trawl surveys be continued and funded in the final FY 2024
appropriations bill, and for the FY 2025 funding cycle as well.
5. Fisheries Disaster Relief: Congress has enacted fisheries disaster relief reform
legislation -- the Fishery Resource Disasters Improvement Act -- that qualifies 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. We request the Delegation support adequate
appropriations for recent and future approved disaster declarations impacting Kodiak's
fisheries.
6. 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. While Congress did not include the increase in funding for the program that the
Borough requested in the FY 2024 appropriations bills, it 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 2025 above base funding along with carryover of
language concerning the cost -burdens on the fleet.
7. U.S. Coast Guard Base -- Kodiak: Over the last couple of years, approximately $275
million has been provided to USCG Base -- Kodiak for infrastructure projects, including
housing and shoreside infrastructure, to be ready for homeporting the two new each
Offshore Patrol and Fast Response Cutters. This is very good news for the Base and
Kodiak, and we appreciate the Delegation's steadfast support for these projects and cutter
homeporting in Kodiak. The Borough is also very interested in Kodiak being a homeport
for a new Polar Security Cutter(s) — the Coast Guard's next generation icebreaker -- but
we recognize that water depth in Womens Bay cannot support such a deep draft vessel.
The Borough supports other locations for a possible icebreaker including an effort by the
City to seek Army Corps of Engineers construction of a breakwater and future deep draft
dock off Near Island. We urge the Delegation to support that project and be an advocate
for Kodiak as a future homeport for a PSC(s). Lastly, the Senate version of the FY 2024
National Defense Authorization Act included a provision that would have included the
Coast Guard in the Defense Community Infrastructure Program, thus making local
infrastructure projects like renovating our elementary school eligible for DCIP funding, but
unfortunately the provision was dropped from the final bill. We urge the Delegation to
revive the effort for FY 2025.
8. Payment -In -Lieu -of -Taxes (PILT): PILT is a very important revenue source to the
Borough, given that there are over 2.8 million acres removed by the Federal Government
from local taxation within our boundaries. This is land that would otherwise be available
to the private sector to develop, creating jobs for the residents of Kodiak and our rural
Kodiak Island communities. PILT funds supplement Borough resources to provide basic
social services, including medical facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads,
and schools to our island communities. The pending FY 2024 appropriations bills provide
full funding for PILT. We thank the Delegation for its long-standing support for PILT and
urge continued support for full funding in the FY 2025 appropriations process.
9. National Wildlife Refuge Fund ("Refuge Revenue Sharing"): While not as significant
as PILT, the National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source of replacement revenue to
communities like ours that have the presence of a large Federal wildlife refuge within their
boundaries. The Obama, Trump and Biden Administrations have all sought to terminate
appropriations for the Fund but thankfully Congress has rejected these requests, including
level funding for the Fund in the pending FY 2024 appropriations bills. The Kodiak Island
Borough opposes the termination of appropriations for this important program. The
Borough thanks the Delegation for its on-going support and seeks continued level funding
in FY 2025.
10. Essential Air Service (EAS): The Borough's communities are highly reliant on the EAS
program, its support to air carriers and its requirements for island community service. FAA
programs including EAS are due to be reauthorized in this Congress. In 2023, an
amendment to terminate EAS funding was offered on the House floor and fortunately was

defeated by a large bipartisan margin. Congressional critics of EAS cite the program as a
"wasteful corporate subsidy" to the profitable major airlines but 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. FAA
programs including EAS have been extended for a short-term basis while Congress
deliberates a long-term reauthorization. We urge the Delegation to continue to oppose
efforts to cut EAS funding and support FAA reauthorization legislation that extends the
program.
11. 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. Russia and China continue to aggressively push their security interests
in the region as evidenced over the last two years by the joint convoys 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.

cutter homeporting in Kodiak. The Borough is also very interested in Kodiak being a
homeport for a new Polar Security Cutter(s) — the Coast Guard's next generation
icebreaker -- but we recognize that water depth in Womens Bay cannot support such a
deep draft vessel. The Borough supports other locations for a possible icebreaker
including an effort by the City to seek Army Corps of Engineers construction of a
breakwater and future deep draft dock off Near Island. We urge the Delegation to support
that project and be an advocate for Kodiak as a future homeport for a PSC(s). Lastly, the
Senate version of the FY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act included a provision
that would have included the Coast Guard in the Defense Community Infrastructure
Program, thus making local infrastructure projects like renovating our elementary school
eligible for DCIP funding, but unfortunately the provision was dropped from the final bill.
We urge the Delegation to revive the effort for FY 2025.
8.19-. Payment -In -Lieu -of -Taxes (PILT): PILT is a very important revenue source to the
Borough, given that there are over 2.8 million acres removed by the Federal Government
from local taxation within our boundaries. This is land that would otherwise be available
to the private sector to develop, creating jobs for the residents of Kodiak and our rural
Kodiak Island communities. PILT funds supplement Borough resources to provide basic
social services, including medical facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads,
and schools to our island communities. The pending FY 2024 appropriations bills provide

full funding for PILT. We thank the Delegation for its long-standing support for PILT and
urge continued support for full funding in the FY 2025 appropriations process.
9.4-0-. National Wildlife Refuge Fund ("Refuge Revenue Sharing"): While not as
significant as PILT, the National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source of replacement
revenue to communities like ours that have the presence of a large Federal wildlife refuge
within their boundaries. The Obama, Trump and Biden Administrations have all sought to
terminate appropriations for the Fund but thankfully Congress has rejected these requests,
including level funding for the Fund in the pending FY 2024 appropriations bills. The
Kodiak Island Borough opposes the termination of appropriations for this important
program. The Borough thanks the Delegation for its on-going support, and seeks
continued level funding in FY 2025.
10.4 Essential Air Service (EAS): The Borough's communities are highly reliant on the
EAS program, its support to air carriers and its requirements for island community service.
FAA programs including EAS are due to be reauthorized in this Congress. In 2023, an
amendment to terminate EAS funding was offered on the House floor and fortunately was
defeated by a large bipartisan margin. Congressional critics of EAS cite the program as
a "wasteful corporate subsidy" to the profitable major airlines but 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. FAA
programs including EAS have been extended for a short-term basis while Congress
deliberates a long-term reauthorization. We urge the Delegation to continue to oppose
efforts to cut EAS funding and support FAA reauthorization legislation that extends the
program.
11.E 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. Russia and China continue to aggressively push their
security interests in the region as evidenced over the last two years by the joint convoys
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.

ALTERNATIVES:
FISCAL IMPACT:
OTHER INFORMATION:
KIBC 2.20.060

I am exercising my right to veto Ordinance No. FY2024-04 Amending Title 2 Administration And
Personnel, Chapter 2.30 Rules Of The Assembly, Section 2.30.080 Order Of Speaking. This veto is in
accordance to KIBC 2.20.060 which states the following:
A. Except as provided in subsection C of this section, the mayor may veto an ordinance, resolution,
motion, or other action of the assembly and may strike or reduce appropriation items except for
school budget items.
B. A veto must be exercised before the next regular meeting of the assembly and must be
accompanied by a written explanation of the reasons for the veto. A veto may be overridden by
a vote of two-thirds of the authorized membership of the assembly within 21 days following
exercise of the veto, or at the next regular meeting, whichever is later.
C. The veto does not extend to:
1. Appropriation items in a school budget resolution/ordinance;
2. Actions of the assembly sitting as the board of adjustment; or
3. Adoption or repeal of a manager plan of government.
I am exercising my right to veto before the next regular of January 18, 2024. My reasons to veto are
the following:
• Ordinance No. FY2024-04 restricts the free flow of discussion. Assembly debate should not
be restricted but rather be encouraged. Debates provide an avenue for those who are
unfamiliar with an issue to become knowledgeable and allow for greater understanding of
those who may hold opposing opinions.
• The Mayor and Assembly have a responsibility to express their opinions on issues as well as
to take time to listen to their peers in order for the public to become well-informed.
• 1 support the idea of conducting meetings in an engaging, informative, and well -argued
debates.
• This ordinance puts on additional burden to Clerk's staff as they will be required to track how
many times and how long each of the Assembly member speaks.
Respectfully,
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH

STAFF REPORT
JANUARY 18, 2024

�s ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Authorization For The Manager To Purchase Material For Landfill Baler
Rebuild
ORIGINATOR: Jena Hassinger, Environmental Specialist
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to authorize the Borough manager to purchase material for Landfill Baler Rebuild from
Pioneer Supply, Inc of Wasilla, Alaska in an amount not to exceed $55,000.
DISCUSSION:
Kodiak Island Borough Code 3.30.020 "Limitation on Manager's Authority" states that an
amount exceeding $25,000 requires Assembly approval.
This vendor, Pioneer Supply, is the only authorized Alaska dealer of Harris Press Parts and
therefore, a sole source, for parts to rebuild the existing baler unit. Portions of the baler are
rebuilt on a yearly basis, and this occurs as part of the baler's regular maintenance schedule.
These parts will not just replace worn-out parts but will include new sides and bottom of the
baler, which are original baler parts. The landfill supervisor recommends the replacement of
these parts as considerable maintenance of these portions occur. Baler staff performs the
labor to install these parts.
The cost of this sole source parts order is $41,983.00 (includes $8800.00 freight, shipping,
and handling fees). E/F staff is requesting authorization for $55,000.00 as the vendor has
stated that the November 28, 2023, quote at this time will be honored however he does not
know when Harris Press will increase prices in 2024. Normally with each rebuild, additional
materials are required once the baler is disassembled. Miscellaneous costs including welding
materials, specialty steel, boom truck rentals will be covered with this projected overage.
ALTERNATIVES:
Authorize the purchase
Take no action
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the proprietary Harris Press parts, and additional materials, boom truck rental is
estimated to not exceed $55,000.00. The assembly has already approved the FY24 budget
that includes funds for baler maintenance. This project is funded by the enterprise fund and
does not utilize general fund dollars.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Baler rebuilds are performed each year. Every other year a large, more in depth rebuild is
performed. This request is for the larger scope rebuild evolution.

The universe must have heard this. I just got word back that they will hold current pricing so my estimated 695 dated

AGENDAITEMS
a. K B Staff PKIMC Elevator Bid Update:
David Conrad provided an update on the elevator bid package. Staff has sent the package to the
PKIMC staff for review to be able to add hospital centric items if not already included. There was
a discussion about the long lead times of parts. Also, there are only two major companies that will
probably bid on the contract -- Otis and TKE.

the cost of $53,208

c. Cool Air Mech. Chiller Compressor Replacement $47,402.40
Victor Weaver presented the hospital items broken down in the numbers as listed.
1. SPD: Aimee Williams asked if this design for the new department needs to go to the
Architectural Review Board (ARB). There was discussion among the board and it was
decided that no, it does not need to go to the ARB because it is a specialized discipline.
But the Engineering staff will send an email update to the ARB. If it was a new building
being freshly built, then they would send it to the ARB for review. The SPD design to
65% will be added to the Assembly Work Session on December 28th 2023 for discussion
and approval at the next Assembly Regular Meeting January 4"', 2024.

AGENDA ITEM #18.A.
2. ATS Update: Victor announced that this item is just to keep the Board apprised of the
status. PKIMC had a failure recently that was fixed, but want to make sure that it is
announced so the public and the Assembly know the difficulties they are having with the
ATS.
3. OR Doors: the doors will be shipping on December 13"', 2023. Tyler Steele has primer
and paint ready for when they arrive to turn them out quickly and get them installed.
4. Elevator Project: Dave already updated on this item.
5. KIB R&R: There was discussion among the Board about what is needed for the K113 to
process the reimbursement. PKIMC needs to provide the invoices and backup
documentation. KIB will provide the finance department with the Assembly Newsletter
highlighting the approval of payment for the item.
c. Other Items:
• The Board discussed the goals or purpose of the Board and understanding the financial
side of the hospital enterprise fund.
• Preventative Maintenance system is working well -- PKIMC is moving in the preventative
direction and less reactive.
• MRI is fully functional. PKIMC is looking at options for deicing the pathway and for a
wind break.
• Sterilizer from St. Elias has been received and PKIMC is working with contractors to get
it installed next week.
BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTS
Dale Rahn - Thank you Dave for everything you have done for us and for improving the conversation
between PKIMC and KIB. We want to continue spending good money in the right way. And
PKIMC has lots of data to share with the Borough to keep them informed if needed.
Victor Weaver - Yes, thank you Dave for working with us.
Aimee Williams -- Thank you for your time this morning. The extra time is providing extra building
blocks and strength to our relationship. Dave has continued to have such wonderful ideas.
David Conrad - Tremco is a roofing company that is being used by the School District and the Borough
to inspect, repair, patch, and evaluate roofs. The Borough would like to have them inspect and
do an evaluation of the PKIMC building roofs. Tremco is able to provide additional warranties
on repairs that they perform.
James Turner - Looking at the $5 million dollar difference between what projects we have completed
and what still needs to be done. Looking at the renovation for the PKIMC - once we go to the
public for a vote, we should include the amount for maintenance and repairs. What it would
take for the old building to be demolished, new building to be built, and renovate the current,
and include the maintenance for it all. We would like to keep the space analysis moving
forward.
Scott Smiley - no comment.

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

✓ 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
