Kodiak has a proud heritage as a steward of ocean resources, and we believe this initiative offers the opportunity for Kodiak to lead the nation in restoring our fisheries and ocean ecosystems through a practical, science -driven, and economically sound response. At this time, and in respect of the sensitive stage of development of this Presidential -level initiative, we respectfully request that the contents of the proposal and our discussion remain confidential until such time as it is appropriate to bring it forward in open session. We are grateful for your consideration and look forward to working closely with you in the days ahead to ensure Kodiak's leadership in this historic effort. With sincere thanks, Russ George Founder, OPR Alaska Rob Lindsey Commercial Fisherman, Kodiak Page 16 of 48 Discuss A Request For A Resolution Of Support For The Presidential Ocean... AGENDA ITEM #2.b. Proposal to the Kodiak Borough and Municipal Assemblies Supporting the Presidential Ocean and Fisheries Emergency Declaration Executive Order (EO), and Establishing Kodiak as the National Center for Ocean Restoration Submitted by: Rob Lindsey, Commercial Fisherman & Longtime Kodiak Resident Russ George, Founder, OPR Alaska 3162 Spruce Cape Road Kodiak, AK 99615 Date: April 2025 Executive Summary Kodiak, Alaska stands at the threshold of a unique opportunity to lead the nation—and the world— in restoring our collapsed ocean ecosystems and fisheries. We are asking for the full support of the Kodiak Borough and Municipal Assemblies to adopt the attached Resolution of Support for the proposed Presidential Executive Order declaring a National Ocean and Fisheries Emergency, a transformative initiative designed to bring life back to America's ocean pastures and coastal economies. By passing this resolution and hosting this declaration locally, Kodiak will send a strong and clear message of "grassroots leadership' to President Donald J. Trump and his administration: Kodiak is ready, willing, and able to lead the nation's response. Proposal Summary We urge the Kodiak Borough and Municipality to: 1. Formally endorse the proposed Presidential Executive Order and accompanying Action Plan as presented by OPR Alaska and its national partners. 2. Declare local support for the emergency response and the rapid deployment of a federally - backed $20+ million ocean restoration initiative to be headquartered in Kodiak over the next three years. 3. Engage as partners in identifying infrastructure, research facilities, and workforce resources available locally to support the national Ocean Restoration Emergency Response. 4. Encourage collaboration between OPR Alaska and existing marine science organizations in Kodiak, including NOAA researchers currently operating from Borough -supported facilities. Page 17 of 48 Discuss A Request For A Resolution Of Support For The Presidential Ocean... AGENDA ITEM #2.b. Why Kodiak? Why Now? - Kodiak is one of Alaska's most historically productive fishing regions—yet it is now on the front lines of the collapse of our ocean fisheries. The community has a proud legacy of sustainable fishing and science -driven marine stewardship. With its harbors, processing capacity, shipping access, skilled marine workforce, and science infrastructure, Kodiak is ideally suited to become the national Center of Excellence for Nature - Based Ocean Restoration. - NOAA maintains a respected marine research team operating in facilities owned and supported by the Kodiak Municipality. OPR Alaska is seeking to collaborate closely with this NOAA group and respectfully hopes to access available space and resources within these municipal facilities as part of its operational base. - The Executive Order is also expected to mobilize and reassign NOAA Alaska marine vessels, beginning as early as this year, to directly support emergency response operations from Kodiak. - The project is championed locally by Kodiak native and lifelong commercial fisherman Rob Lindsey and internationally acclaimed ocean restoration leader Russ George, founder of OPR Alaska. Immediate Economic Impact - $20 million in project investment over three years (2025-2027) - Initial team deployment to Kodiak by summer 2025 - Project startup will utilize local marine contractors, vessel operators, ports, researchers, and logistics support - New office and lab facilities will create long-term jobs in marine science, technology, and fisheries restoration Long -Term Local and National Benefits - Thousands of new jobs across Alaska as ocean pastures are restored and fisheries rebound - Hundreds of millions of dollars in increased fishery yields expected from revitalized ocean ecosystems - Blue Carbon Credit revenues potentially exceeding revitalized fisheries values for verified and certified carbon mitigation through recognized ocean -based mitigation will support this for-profit enterprise, not taxpayer subsidies - Kodiak positioned as the global leader in nature -based climate and ocean restoration technologies Page 18 of 48 Discuss A Request For A Resolution Of Support For The Presidential Ocean... AGENDA ITEM #2.b. Community Legacy - Revitalization of local fisheries for future generations - Youth education and employment opportunities in marine restoration careers - Enhanced food security and economic independence for Kodiak and rural Alaska National Leadership with Local Roots This initiative is not theoretical—it builds on proven science and field success. In 2012, a pioneering ocean pasture restoration project led by Russ George and First Nations in Canada demonstrated massive success—producing the largest salmon returns in Alaska's recorded history. The time to repeat these middle-sized practical ocean pasture replenishment and restorations is NOW. It's time to act. Kodiak's Leadership Role OPR Alaska is evaluating several potential locations in Alaska for its central operations hub. While Kodiak stands out as a top candidate, it must be clear that this is a competitive process. Your prompt action to adopt the attached Resolution and pledge local support for hosting this effort will play a decisive role in bringing the headquarters and long-term economic benefits to Kodiak. Next Steps 1. Adopt the attached Resolution of Support at your next Assembly meeting. 2. Issue a letter of intent inviting OPR Alaska and its national team to work with the Borough and Municipality in planning this emergency response effort. 3. Participate in briefings with state and federal partners as this initiative moves forward.

OPRAlaska AGENDA ITEM #2.b. May 2025 Reviving Kodiak's Oceans: A Community Call to Restore Ocean Life and Livelihoods Executive Briefing Summary for Kodiak Leaders Our Immediate Ask • A resolution declaring an Alaska Ocean and Fisheries Emergency, recognizing the collapse of ocean pasture productivity as the root cause of fisheries collapse. • Endorse the OPR Alaska Action Plan, a private -sector -led public-private partnership to begin ocean dust replenishment for restoring ocean life and fisheries. What's Happening • King Salmon Collapse: King (Chinook) Salmon may soon be listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). • Pollock Fishery Threatened: ESA listing will lead to strict bycatch limits or closures of Kodiak's last viable fishery: Pollock. Root Cause: Ocean Pasture Collapse • Plankton in Decline: Marine food chains depend on plankton fed by airborne iron -rich dust. • Dust Down 80%: Natural dust delivery from Asia and Alaska has dropped dramatically, starving ocean pastures. • Crab, Pollock, Salmon in Crisis: Collapse of ocean productivity is linked to species declines across the board. Salmon put on 95% of their weight grazing on these ocean pastures. Nature Proved It Works • Kasatochi Volcano (2008): Eruption sent iron -rich ash over the Pacific. A massive plankton bloom followed. Record salmon runs returned in 2010. • Haida Project (2012): Voluntary iron replenishment stimulated blooms, fish returns, and ecosystem restoration. Why Kodiak Should Act • No Local Funds Required: The request is for political leadership only. Restoration funding will come from federal climate and ecosystem programs. • Protect Your Fishing Future: Without restoration, the loss of Kings and Pollock could devastate the local economy. • Revive the Tax Base: Healthy fisheries = restored jobs, revenues, schools, and services. • Leadership Opportunity: Kodiak can lead Alaska in ocean recovery and secure long-term sustainability. OPRAlaska.com Kodiak & Kenai Page 21 of 48 Discuss A Request For A Resolution Of Support For The Presidential Ocean... AGENDA ITEM #2.b. OPRAlaska May 2025 Executive Summary Our Ask of Kodiak's Leaders: OPR Alaska respectfully requests that Kodiak's city and borough leaders immediately approve a resolution declaring an Alaska Ocean and Fisheries Emergency. This resolution should recognize the collapse of ocean pasture productivity as the core ecological nexus of the current crisis. Additionally, we ask that Kodiak formally endorse the OPR Alaska Action Plan, a private -sector -led public-private partnership to demonstrate the effectiveness of ocean dust replenishment as a nature - based solution to restore the oceans to their historic levels of health and productivity. Kodiak, Alaska—America's most productive fishing port—is at a tipping point. The keystone of Alaska's fishing heritage, the King (Chinook) Salmon, is teetering on the edge of an Endangered Species listing. The collapse of King Salmon populations threatens not only this iconic species but also the legal and economic future of Kodiak's last viable fishery: the Pollock trawl. If Kings are listed under the Endangered Species Act, judicial enforcement will severely restrict all bycatch, potentially shutting down the Pollock fleet and unraveling Kodiak's working waterfront. This crisis is part of a broader unraveling of ocean life in the North Pacific, Gulf of Alaska, and Bering Sea. At the core is a collapse of ocean productivity tied to the long-term decline in airborne mineral dust—especially iron—that once nourished the base of the marine food chain: plankton. Without plankton, ocean pastures that feed salmon, crab, and pollock are turning into unproductive blue deserts. We propose that the Kodiak community lead in calling for an Alaska Ocean and Fisheries Emergency Declaration and support an immediate program of nature -based ocean replenishment to restore ocean productivity, bring back the fish, and secure the generations of livelihoods that rely on these waters.

OPRAlaska May 2025 We propose that the Kodiak community lead in calling for an Alaska Ocean and Fisheries Emergency Declaration and support an immediate program of nature -based ocean replenishment to restore ocean productivity, bring back the fish, and secure the generations of livelihoods that rely on these waters. Kodiak, Alaska—America's most productive fishing port—is in crisis. The collapse of ocean life in the North Pacific, Gulf of Alaska, and Bering Sea is decimating fish stocks and fishing livelihoods. At the root of this collapse is the failure of the ocean's foundational engine: its plankton -rich pastures. The cause is now well-documented—the long-term decline of natural airborne mineral dust, especially iron, that once nourished vast blooms of phytoplankton. We propose that the Kodiak community lead in calling for an Alaska Ocean and Fisheries Emergency Declaration and support an immediate program of nature -based ocean replenishment to restore ocean productivity, bring back the fish, and secure the generations of livelihoods that rely on these waters. 1. The Collapse of Ocean Productivity • Crab Collapse Tied to Ocean Productivity: The catastrophic crash of Bering Sea snow crab stocks, which led to a complete fishery closure in 2022, has been directly linked to the long-term collapse in ocean productivity due to the 80% decline in aeolian dust delivery of vital micronutrients such as iron. As ocean pastures have diminished, the plankton that support all marine life—including crab larvae—have vanished. Without plankton, juvenile crabs do not survive (George, 2024). • Kodiak's Fishing Industry at Risk: Commercial landings and employment are down. Fishers, processors, and supply chains are all struggling. The tax base that funds schools and services is shrinking. • Fish Stocks in Freefall: From cod and halibut to crab and herring, Alaska's fish populations are declining. In 2022, the snow crab harvest was canceled for the first time in history. • Demographic Collapse: The average age of Alaska's fishers is now close to 50. Young people are notjoining the fleet. The community is aging, shrinking, and financially stressed. OPRAlaska.com Kodiak & Kenai Page 23 of 48 Discuss A Request For A Resolution Of Support For The Presidential Ocean... OPRAlaska 2. The Hidden Driver: Loss of Ocean Dust and Iron Micronutrients AGENDA ITEM #2.b. May 2025 • Plankton Need Iron: Ocean life begins with plankton, and plankton need iron. This micronutrient was historically delivered by airborne mineral dust, primarilyfrom Asia and volcanic sources in Alaska. • Aeolian Dust Down 80%: Over the past 70 years, airborne dust reaching the North Pacific has declined by up to 80%, reducing iron inputs and choking off the base of the marine food web (Song et al., 2024). • Cascade of Collapse: With less plankton come fewer zooplankton, forage fish, salmon, whales, and seabirds. The loss is notjust a population decline—it's an ecosystem unravelling. 3. A Proven Path Forward: Ocean Micronutrient Replenishment • Nature -Based Restoration: We propose a targeted program to safely and precisely replenish the natural mineral nutrients that once sustained the plankton blooms of Alaska's ocean pastures. • This Is Not "Fertilization": This is not pollution or chemical enrichment—it's restoration, based on decades of natural science. Just as forests need rain and sunlight, ocean pastures need iron and dust. • Nature Has Already Shown It Works: In 2008, the eruption of the Kasatochi volcano in the Aleutian Islands released a massive cloud of iron -rich volcanic ash over the North Pacific. This single event sparked one of the largest ocean plankton blooms ever recorded in the subarctic Pacific. Two years later, record salmon returns were documented in the Fraser River, widely attributed to this one-time natural replenishment of the ocean pasture. This is clear and compelling evidence of nature's own demonstration that restoring iron to the sea brings back life. • Success in Alaska: Building on this precedent, a 2012 Haida-led ocean replenishment project off the coast of British Columbia used natural iron minerals to trigger large-scale plankton blooms, increase fish abundance, and improve carbon sequestration. • Nature -Based Restoration: We propose a targeted program to safely and precisely replenish the natural mineral nutrients that once sustained the plankton blooms of Alaska's ocean pastures. OPRAlaska.com Kodiak & Kenai Page 24 of 48 Discuss A Request For A Resolution Of Support For The Presidential Ocean... AGENDA ITEM #2.b. OPRAlaska May 2025 4. Urgent Case: King Salmon and the Endangered Species Cliff One of the most dangerous developments now facing Kodiak is the impending federal decision to list King (Chinook) Salmon as an endangered or threatened species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). • The Collapse is Undisputed: Across Alaska, Chinook stocks have been declining for decades. No one—scientists, fishers, managers—disputes that King Salmon are in a state of crisis. • The Question is Not If They're Endangered—But When They're Listed: Once King Salmon gain ESA status, federal agencies will be required by law to impose sweeping protective measures backed byjudicial enforcement. • Pollock Trawl Fishery Faces Judicial Shutdown: Kodiak's Pollock trawl fishery, the last major productive fishery supporting the town's economy, will be in the crosshairs. If even small numbers of ESA -listed Kings are caught as bycatch in Pollock nets—as happens now—the courts will mandate strict bycatch limits or outright closures to comply with federal law. • Civil Lawsuits Are Inevitable: Environmental organizations and tribal governments have already signaled that once ESA protections are in place, they will bring civil actions to enforce full protection of the remaining Kings. These lawsuits will target any fishery—even indirect—linked to King Salmon bycatch. The Pollock fishery will be the first and most vulnerable target. • This Is the Nail in the Coffin for Kodiak's Fishing Industry: ESA listing will not just restrict Chinook harvest—it will unleash a cascade of judicial restrictions on Kodiak's last viable fishery, with irreversible economic fallout for workers, processors, schools, and the entire borough. Meanwhile, data shows that the average size and condition of Pollock is also in decline, further signaling that the base of the food chain—the ocean pasture—is in distress (George— 2024). • Ocean Restoration is the Only Hope: 95% of a Chinook salmon's body mass is gained in the ocean—not in the river. That means the only scientifically grounded path to restore the King Salmon is to restore their ocean pastures. With restored food supplies, Chinook can recover. Without it, no regulation—no matter how strict—can save them. Kodiak must act now—not just to protect the Kings, but to protect its people from the economic wreckage that will come in the wake of their ESA listing. OPRAlaska.com Kodiak & Kenai Page 25 of 48 Discuss A Request For A Resolution Of Support For The Presidential Ocean... AGENDA ITEM #2.b. OPRAlaska May 2025 5. Addressing Concerns About Funding Competition Kodiak's leaders are navigating a local fiscal emergency—schools, public safety, and essential services are strained by falling revenue. We understand the concern: could this ocean emergency declaration risk drawing away the limited state or federal funding that Kodiak badly needs? No. It will not. Here's why: • We're Asking for Political, Not Financial Support: Our request is for political resolution and leadership only. No funds are being requested from Kodiak's. • Funding Sources Are Separate: The funds for ocean restoration come from dedicated federal climate and ecosystem programs. These are not shared pools with education or general-purpose aid, so there's no overlap or competition. • Reviving Ocean Productivity Rebuilds the Economy: The faster we restore fish stocks, the sooner we can rebuild the fishing economy—and the tax base that supports local schools and services. • Political Leadership Pays Dividends: Kodiak's endorsement would elevate the community as a leader in environmental recovery 6. Community Action Steps We urge the Kodiak Assembly and Borough to: 1. Declare an Ocean and Fisheries Emergency 2. Support a regional ocean pasture restoration action plan 3. Coordinate with tribal, state, and federal stakeholders 4. Help engage Kodiak's fishing families and public in restoration Conclusion: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats Kodiak's future is tethered to the ocean. It's fish. It's jobs. Its culture. And now, its school budgets, tax base, and community stability. We have the science. We have the precedent. We have the tools. All that remains is the courage to lead. Let Kodiak be the voice that declares: we will not let our oceans die. We will act. And in doing so, we will restore what has been lost—for the fish, the fishers, and the generations to come.

POOL CONDITION SURVEY –15% Project Description: This project will consist of a site visit by an architect, aquatics specialist, and electrical, mechanical and structural engineers. A written condition report will document the findings as well as recommendations for a project scope to repair deficient items. Please note that the pool will need to be drained for the site visit and access to all areas, so this work will be scheduled around the annual pool maintenance in May 2025. Exclusions: • Geotechnical and civil investigations are not included at this time. • Cost estimation is not included at this time. • Investigations will not be destructive—no finishes will be removed. • Given the age of the building, we believe that the eventual design project, and therefore this condition survey scope, will center on the items identified by WTI in 2023 with only cursory examinations of other systems and areas. If necessary, they will flag additional issues, in-depth or destructive investigation would be helpful. The design proposal will be presented to the KIB Assembly on March 13, 2025, for review. During the March 20, 2025, KIB Assembly meeting, the proposal was approved, and notifications were sent out to the A&E team. The anticipated pool site visit will be completed on May 19 -21st.
