KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH STAFF REPORT SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING SUBJECT: Contract No. FY2026-13, Purchase Of Enterprise Storage From USI Corporation ORIGINATOR: Fred Berestoff, IT Director RECOMMENDATION: Move to authorize the Borough Manager to approve Contract No. FY2026-13 for Enterprise Storage in the amount not to exceed $52,786. DISCUSSION: The Kodiak Island Borough currently utilizes on premise systems which require high performing enterprise storage. This storage is in the form of an HP Nimble storage array which is rack mounted, highly redundant disk -based storage that is accessed by KIB servers and stores its critical compute and networking systems. The current Nimble array is over seven years old and has reached end of life status, requiring that it be replaced and upgraded. This quote will provide the following: 1. It will upgrade the current Nimble array to a modern version which provides additional capability and performance. 2. it will replace the drives and controllers as part of the upgrade. 3. It includes one year of support as part of the cost. The current array is our main storage system, and should there be an outage with this equipment, KIB systems would be severely impacted until it was repaired. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Decline to purchase the new equipment and seek alternative solutions. 2. Delay purchase. FISCAL IMPACT: This is a one time cost of $52,786.00 which would purchase equipment with an estimated seven year lifespan. OTHER INFORMATION: This purchase would utilize the same chassis of our current Nimble Array, and represents the most cost effective way to renew it, as opposed to purchasing a completely new array.

In accordance with Alaska Statutes 04.11.480 and the regulations outlined in 3 AAC 305.085, the local governing authority possesses the right to oppose the renewal of a liquor license based on public policy considerations or issues related to the license itself. Following an investigation by the Clerk's Office, as stipulated in KIBC 5.01.020, it has been determined that factors associated with the license renewal application warrant an objection from the governing body to safeguard the interests of the Borough. Notably, the Borough is concerned about the possible discrepancy in the premise address of the license and the business license on file with the State of Alaska reflects an address in Anchorage, AK. Furthermore, 3 AAC 305.085(d) states that a local governing body that protests an application shall allow the applicant a reasonable opportunity to defend the application before a meeting of the local governing body. This opportunity is now scheduled for the regular Assembly meeting on Thursday, September 4, 2025. We strongly encourage your attendance, as you will have the chance to present your comments regarding the liquor license renewal application during this meeting.

Adoption or repeal of a manager plan of government. During the Assembly meeting of August 7, 2025, the Assembly approved Contract No. FY2026- 06, Kodiak Island Borough Facilities Contract With MK Enterprise, LLC. I hereby exercise this veto before the next Assembly regular meeting of August 21, 2025. The following are my reasons for the veto: 1. The entire process is flawed, as the staff continually alters their methods of bid analysis. 2. The staff decided to reject one of the bids based on what they refer to as differential pricing. 3. 1 perceive this as discounting, which is permissible. 4. According to AS 44.62, any policy change must involve public input; however, the staff did not adhere to this requirement. There was no guidance provided to the bidders during the mandatory pre -bid meeting indicating that borough policy was shifting from previous practices. 5. Policies should be clear and transparent for all contractors, and I believe that all bids should be rejected, necessitating a rebid of the facilities contract with clear instructions for everyone.

OLD BUSINESS Continuing Discussion And Possible Decision On Bayside Addition Concepts Chief Scott Ellis noted the amount of time being spent at the fire department by the membership. It was his strong feeling that the dedication of the membership needs to be adequately equipped and accommodated. Chief Scott Ellis emphasized that firefighters at Bayside are what adds the legitimacy of the department. The board was urged to move forward with the Bayside Addition within the next fiscal year since the members of the department more than deserve it. Vice -Chair John Parker voiced concerns regarding the location of the water supply and sewer line. Scott Arndt clarified that those were identified last year. Scott Arndt continued that he felt there was more needed to the addition than what was being proposed, and that the location of the hose tower needed to be reconsidered. Scott Arndt suggested an additional space was needed for the Chiefs Quarters but ultimately asked the Chief for his input. Chief Scott Ellis did not feel that the separate bunking unit was necessary for the chiefs quarters. Chief Scott Ellis continued to expand on the history of Bayside Fire's construction and what needs had to be considered back then compared to the needs of the department today. Overall, Chief Scott Ellis did not believe there was much more that needed to be added. General ideas for the campus layout continued to be shared with considerations of how the different layouts effect response time when a call is received. Craig Dagen asked what the overall response time currently was. Chief Scott Ellis stated the longest times were 3-4 minutes, accounting for delays in dispatch. Craig Dagen agreed with Chief Scott Ellis that there needed to be an increase in response time to reach more favorable emergency response outcomes and, consequentially, increase the quality of service provided to the community. The weight room being relocated was discussed as the board speculated what use the area could have to serve as a bunking area. Captain Justin Thran stated how the time adds up being in an upstairs location, wanting to avoid having to use stairs and pass through swipe card doors during emergency response. Scott Arndt suggested the weight room removal to open more possibilities from upstairs modification. Fixed areas were noted, and further discussion ensued. CHAIR RICHARD CARSTENS CALLED FOR A 10-MINUTE RECESS AT 7:11PM. THE MEETING WAS RECONVENED AT 7:21 PM. Scott Arndt recommended a work session with membership present. Craig Dagen asked about external resources being brought in and when to involve an engineering firm. The board discussed further.

BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS Scott Arndt - Shares the original [Bayside] building concept was 4 bays, the washroom, & compressor. The rest was fair game. Mike Dolph - Thinks that, in the near future, Bayside will be adding on, and, if they're not careful, it could get exciting. Craig Dagen - Looks forward to figuring out the best solutions as things continue to develop. John Parker - Shared he felt it was nice to see the last budget report of the year & that they've remained cohesive through the year. He feels it will work better next year too. Scott Ellis - Stated that the key here is positive movement forward. I like what we've established. Richard Carstens - Shared briefly his experience with other fire chiefs and that they all have their specialties. Chief Ellis is multi -faceted and brings a lot of excitement into the fire department. It was felt that Bayside has a very vibrant campus, and he doesn't want to lose any of that.

Page 62 of 64 AGENDA ITEM #19.A. Chief Scott Ellis reiterated that he wants Bayside to be able to help other Fire Protection Areas before having to add, meaning that properly interfacing with the other Fire Departments to continuing efforts to bolster mutual aid will be a key focus prior to the addition's construction. The importance of the weight room gym facility was stated to shed light on its significance in improving the overall culture at Bayside. Chief Scott Ellis expanded his thoughts behind the proposed Phase I, stating that the fitness room would have the Hose Tower behind it and turn the tower itself into multi -faceted training tower. Chief Scott Ellis continued onto Phase II. Phase II consisted of the following: Phase II: A. Renovate/Repurpose Training Room Building (A) Construct Hallway from Training Room to Upper Bay //Demo Existing Tower / Turn B/R Entrances + Reno Extend Sprinkler Coverage B.

Chief Scott Ellis clarified his intentions of the phases and that all concept information presented will be provided to the architect. The opinion of the architect and their suggestions of a timeline/plan of approach will ultimately take precedent over the proposed phases. Further discussion ensued. Craig Dagen brought up considering increased privacy for the Fire Chiefs quarters. Chief Scott Ellis did not wish to impede areas designated for firefighter operations for the sole purpose of increased privacy. The board discussed further. John Parker asked where the information would be presented next. Chief Scott Ellis explained his plans to interface with the KIB Projects Office and have the Manager's participation. Next would be the architect, and then finally to the Assembly for the last approval. Overall, the board agreed with the concepts presented. CITIZENS' COMMENTS None. BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS None.
