Monashka Bay Water and Wastewater Committee
Minutes
June 5, 1991 - 7:00 p.m., KIBSD Conference Room
Present were: Reed Oswalt, Chairman; Alice MacDonough, Doug
Mathers, Dave Sundberg, George Reith, Richard Diemer and Ray
Camardella, Staff.
The meeting was called to order at 7:20 p.m.
Ray presented the Final Monashka Bay Water & Wastewater
Facilities Plan prepared by HDR/OTT of Anchorage, Alaska. It was
explained that the major change from the draft report was the
increase in monthly sewer and water rates due to a recent
increase in rates by the City of Kodiak. Considerable discussion
occurred regarding the Capital costs associated with the
construction and methods of paying for the construction. It was
the consensus of the committee that costs were high to the
individual landowners, but that the pollution existing now and
the potential for disease transmission required construction of a
public sewer and water system.
Ray explained that the first step was to recommend the adoption
of the plan to the Assembly so they could take action during
their meeting June 20, 1991. Then the plan could be used as a
tool to apply for funding through ADEC Grants and direct
legislative appropriation. $400,000 was in the current
legislative CIP for design work and we were waiting to see if the
funding survived a veto from Governor Hickel. Considerable
discussion occurred about the two proposed sewer systems and it
was decided that a decision on which system to use should be made
at the design stage.
A motion was made by Dick Diemer to recommend that the Assembly
adopt the Monashka Bay Water and Wastewater Facilities plan for
development of the public sewer and water system in the proposed
Service District No. 2. Seconded by Alice MacDonough, the motion
passed by unanimous vote.
Discussion then occurred regarding funding and the fact that most
landowners would not be able to pay for 50% of the Capital costs
and that direct appropriations would be required.
The City of Kodiak Sewage Treatment Plant capacity was discussed
at length with the consensus of the group agreeing that
development of Service District No. 2 should occur with clear,
concise agreements with the City as to providing water & sewer
service.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
