IV. Overview of Purpose of Board
MITCHELL reported that Bell & Associates plan on being in Kodiak on September 12,2007;
they are committed to other projects similar to Kodiak's. One note of interest was that Kodiak,
as well as the other areas in the State, have performed "patch work" resolutions to various
landfill problems, which has led to unorganized collection and disposal for the solid waste
program. The main focus is to get a process in place so that things aren't so unorganized. Flow
chart provided to members, outlining the Solid Waste Management plan. MITCHELL provided

an aerial photo of the landfill indicating existing areas and parameters of the landfill.
Discussion of greenbelt was held. Current ordinance indicates that if any work is to be done
within the greenbelt, concurrence is required by the Monashka Bay Service Area beforehand;
however the Monashka Bay Service Area board has indicated they no longer wish to hold this
responsibility, so the ordinance needs to be changed. MITCHELL explained to the board the
process of the current leachate drainage system existing at the landfill.
V. Brief Overview of Collection & Disposal
City limits is provided curb-side residential services; everything else is basically residential
public dumpsters with 3 dumpsters in the Chiniak area, and 3 in the Bells Flats area.
Commercial agencies have dumpsters as well. Municipal (kitchen) solid waste is accounted for
at the landfill, also construction demolition, sludge and asbestos (between 15,000-17,000
tons/year); numbers remained fairly stable over the last 5-10 years. Currently metal debris is
shipped off island. ROHRER questioned the method of garbage pickup, whether set by KID
Code or by past activity; MITCHELL explained it is determined by KID Code.
Discussed landfill footprint life expectancy. Current footprint expected to last until 2015
according to current study. Normal construction debris is being separated from the municipal
waste being delivered to the landfill in order to assist with preserving the landfill footprint.
